The taste of Bangkok close to home: Krung Thep Thai Street Food
They say travel broadens the mind, but if nothing else, it certainly expands the palate.
Bangkok, known in Thai as Krung Thep, meaning ‘City of Angels’, is famous for its vibrant street food culture. Since opening in Auckland in 2014, Krung Thep Thai Street Food has expanded across New Zealand, with its latest location on Colombo Street in Christchurch.
“Inspired by Bangkok’s bustling food scene, we bring authentic Thai flavours to your table. This spring and summer, discover seasonal favourites such as Som Tum, famous Thai piquant greens salad, and Five Spices Pork Belly, stir-fried with basil sauce, paired with refreshing signature drinks, including Sang Chan Sour, a cocktail made from Thai rum and Koh Samui Iced Tea, coconut water and Thai Iced Tea Whipped Foam,” says restaurant manager Oliver Duangjit.
“With generous portions, a welcoming atmosphere and a menu full of variety, we celebrate Thai food for everyone, welcoming families, locals and international visitors alike.”
Just a short walk from Christchurch Town Hall, The Court Theatre and Isaac Theatre Royal, this is the perfect place to enjoy a meal before or after a show.
“Come and experience a little taste of Bangkok, right here in Christchurch,” Oliver says.
