Where is Je Ngor's Kitchen? If this is
your question, then you're not a big fan of Chinese food or
you've just been in Bangkok. If you have an appointment with
anyone at Je Ngor, be sure to emphasize on the location because
there are 5 branches. Je Ngor is a Chinese name, Je(big sister)
Ngor(owner's nick name) is located on 11th floor of the YWCA
Building at Sathon Road.
On arrival Je Ngor and Khun
Linda, her daughter and another owner of the restaurant, amiably
welcomes us by themselves. The setting of the restaurant was simple
and clean. Being on the 11th floor in a centrally location as
in Sathon the bird eye view of Bangkok is an advantage. For those
who like privacy, the restaurant provides VIP rooms for large
and small groups.
The main attraction of the restaurant
is the Food. Well, I've got to say my tongue was spoiled so much
here. The menu offers a wide variety of selections, Mainly Chinese,
seafood and Thai, some menus are Thai dishes influence by Chinese
cooking (Somtam Kung Maenam and "Somtam Pu Kai Dong").
Since main food here is seafood, so the price of each dish mostly
depends on weight.
The service here is quite good.
The waiter and waitress can speak English and some can speak Chinese.
Also there's no service charge for alcohol. You can take wine
or other alcohol to the restaurant.
There's no need to say how successful Je Ngor's kitchen is. You
can see it from that Je Ngor has got five branches since she started
the first branch at Chareon Krung four years ago.
Sen Mi Phakkrachet, there
signature dish. It's Noodle stir fried with "Phakkrachet"
(a kind of Thai vegetable which grows in water). This dish looks
tasteless, but, well, its taste is not like its look, very delicious
with sour taste.
Lukchin Kung Sarai (Deep
fried seaweed shrimp balls), the new release, 30 Baht per piece
(180-300 per dish). The exterior of seaweed shrimp balls is
crisp, but the interior soft, served with Chinese plum sauce.
Pla Kraphong Preow Wan (stir
fried seabass with sweet & soul sauce), 200 Baht per dish.
This dish is suitable for those who don't like spicy food and
for kids.
My most favorite, Pu
Phat Chao Sua (Stir fried crab with special
garlic & pepper), 100 Baht per 100 grams. Crab cooked is
fresh, so it tastes really very great, especially eaten with
spicy sauce (mixture of vinegar garlic, chilli Thai style) of
the restaurant.
Somtam Pu Kai Dong (fresh
papaya and preserved crab with spicy sauce), 200 Baht per dish.
Somtam is a Thai style Salad. Pu Kai Dong is raw preserved crab,
and its meat tastes like jelly. This dish is not too spicy so
everybody can eat it. However, However, you can order what taste
you want them to be.
Somtam Kung Maenam (fresh
papaya and large river prawn with spicy sauce). This dish is
like the former dish but it's large river prawn instead of raw
preserved crab.
Pla Bu Nueng Si-ew (Steamed
Gody(mudfish) with Soya sauce), 80 Baht per 100 grams. Fresh
fish makes this dish, Chinese food, so tasty.
