"With its Barbie-pink walls and unforgiving gaeng som, 101 Thai Kitchen is a restaurant you can easily fall for. The Hammersmith canteen has the feel of an old-school haunt and the west London favourite is somewhere friends and families pile in to devour crisp hat yai fried chicken under the approving eyes of Thai nobility depicted in gold-framed portraits hanging on the wall. The menu dots around north eastern Thai cuisine—the homemade Isaan sausage is essential—and, like all the best Thai restaurants, is best enjoyed as part of a hungry crowd." - jake missing
