Hidden in Soi Thonglor 17 which is the soi next to J-Avenue, there is a pretty decent Thai restaurant at reasonable price: Khao Jao. You can rarely find any reasonable priced restaurant these days in Thonglor. But here is another one left. Khao Jao serves variety of Thai food in an easy and comfy atmosphere. In my opinion, it is excellent for weekend family meal or else a casual chitchatting with friends. The only thing you might have to ignore here is the service. Don't expect much about it.
As said pricing here is reasonable. Local beverage range is also great here. Most of them are priced at THB35 a glass which is like the price on streets.
For us, we started with Fried Egg Radish - ไชโปล้ผัดไข่ (4/10), Wings Bean Spicy Salad - ยำถั่วพลู (5/10), Spicy Salted Gourami with Thai Salad - ยำปลาสลิด (4/10). Fried egg radish was ok. There were a little too much of radish comparing to egg. Some may like it but it is just not balance for me. Wings bean spicy salad and spicy salted gourami with Thai salad on the other hand were too soaky though the taste was already ok with balancing flavour and not overwhelming of spiciness.
Moving on to more serious dishes, Preserved Egg Fried Basil - ผัดกระเพราไข่เยี่ยวม้า (6/10) and Salt Roasted Chicken with Lemon Grass - ไก่คั่วตะไคร้ (5/10) were ordered. The preserved egg fried basil was nice with lovely aroma of basil and chewy yummy texture of preserved egg. Love it. The salt roasted chicken with lemon grass should be a dish for those who like mild flavour food. I believe foreigners and travellers will enjoy this dish. Lastly, we ended the meal with Grass Jelly in Milk - เฉาก๊วยนมสด (5/10). This is a standard dessert indeed. The jelly texture with distinct touch of grass jelly went fabulously with milk and brown sugar. Refreshing of course.
In brief, Khao Jao deserves a visit when you feel like a comfy meal around Thonglor. No formality and no pressure here. Just enjoy it in the way you like.
