Though being compact with a few seats to offer, Krua Mong Meng has become reputable because of its scenic mountain view, which you can enjoy while having a meal. The place, situated in Amphoe Khao Kho, provides a combination of authentic Thai-style with a touch of Chinese and Isan (Northeastern region of Thailand) menus; walking inside Krua Mong Meng will remind you of a homey atmosphere, as if you were having a dinner at the annual family’s gathering, due to its simple yet comfortable looking interior.
Despite using only local ingredients, the flavourful richness in each dish will conjure the same feeling just like when you were having the delicacies cooked by a skillful chef from some of those fancy and lavish restaurants. Plus, this place is also guaranteed by many food gurus and food tours from various TV programmes for its uniquely flavourful menu.
