"At Kolae, fire whooshes up from the wok in the buzzy open kitchen-cum-counter and, from your first sip of a mini martini to the final crunch of deep-fried prawn head, you’ll be swooning at its flavour-fuelled charm offensive. The slick three-floor restaurant, which focuses on southern Thai cooking, is smack bang in the heart of Borough Market, near London Bridge. But a trip to this spot is worth its own occasion." - jake missing
