This crab omelet is a Bangkok legend

After first opening on Samsen Road in 1988, Krua Apsorn has run rampant with six branches across Bangkok. This always-packed spot was the second to open, and the growing empire has done nothing to drag down the quality of its curries (made from scratch every time) and kai foo puu (thick omelet with crab meat, B100)—such a big star that every table orders it. You’re also well advised to call ahead and pre-order the yellow curry with lotus shoot (B130), whose simple, garnish-free appearance hides a tanginess and herbal flavor that makes it one of the best in town. Our other top tip: the stir-fried blue crab meat with yellow chili (B450). See our full guide to eating your way around Dinsor Road.
