Authentic Thai regional food at Krung Thep

Tender, supple meat juxtaposed against a charred exterior perfectly epitomises the beauty of the Neur Yang Jim Jaew.

As far as looks go, Krung Thep isn’t your garden variety Thai restaurant. Ensconced in the brand new gastronomic enclave of Republik in Damansara Heights, Kuala Lumpur the restaurant has dim lighting, a huge open kitchen and a distinctly trendy vibe that mimics all the enthralling qualities of an upscale nightclub.

The eatery is the brainchild of founder Tan Boon Wy, whose company Wy & Co also runs a number of other F&B outlets, including PS150 as well as Tickets, which is just next door to Krung Thep.
