This restaurant overlooks the roundabout at Ratchadamnoen Klang Road where the Democracy Monument stands.&nbsp; In other words, to get to the restaurant, look for the Democracy Monument, then walk around the roundabout.&nbsp; You should find the restaurant.&nbsp; The restaurant has a white fa\u00e7ade and is the prettiest thing surrounding the roundabout. Though the d\u00e9cor is a tad old-fashioned, the restaurant offers a good alternative against the rowdiness (and sometimes cheapness and heavy tourist emphasis) of Khao San Road.&nbsp; This restaurant seems clean, organised and is a good place to sit down for an adult meal. The food is competently done and good value for money. I tried the appetiser Fried Yam (Taro) Dumplings (140 baht). This is a classic Chinese dish.&nbsp; Very crispy on the outside, warm soft mashed yam (taro) on the inside.&nbsp; There is nothing ground-breaking about the restaurant\u2019s rendition of this dish, just classic, comforting food, which is good enough for me. I also tried the Steamed Squid with Garlic, Chilli and Lime Juice.&nbsp; Attention!!!&nbsp; This dish is seriously hot, even for someone who likes spicy food like me.&nbsp; I couldn\u2019t finish it&#8212;it was just too hot.&nbsp; Nevertheless, I was pleasantly surprised at the very generous amount of squid.&nbsp; The squid was also fresh.&nbsp; If it wasn\u2019t so hot, I would have finished it, for I loved the lime juice. A plate of white rice costs 30 baht.&nbsp; Remember to add 10% service charge and 7% tax to your bill. 78\/2 Ratchadamnoen Klang Road. +66 (0)2 224 3088. Open daily, 10 a.m.-11 p.m."}
