With their culinary skills honed over the years, the chefs behind the scenes of this Thai restaurant whip up quite a storm of sumptuous Thai delicacies, with the most sought out for being their rendition of Pandan Chicken and Thai Green Duck Curry from the poultry category while seafood section entails the signature Lime and Chillies Steam Seabass.

And what Thai cuisine is complete without the presence of Tom Yam and here in Baan 26, they offer one of the best Tom Yam soup around town. Sour with the addition of a spicy kick, the tangy broth carries a wholesome burst of flavour along with various complementary textures derived from the ingredients present within the soupy goodness. Coconut soup with a creamy, rich consistency is also served here as well, a viable option for those who cannot tolerate the spiciness derived from the Tom Yam dish.
For those opting for a lighter bite, Baan 26's Mango Sticky Rice is one of the best alternative you can go for. Mildly sweet with a tinge of savouriness, the soft consistency of the ripe mangoes complements the sticky glutinous rice rather well. What's more, you can opt for your favourite cold beverage, with or without traces of alcohol -a bar remember?- to accompany your delectable food. All in all, a good place to dine if you wish for hearty Thai cuisine.
