Organic Greens – Pak Koot
Ruan Pak Koot restaurant is famous for creating many healthy dishes from Pak Koot (a vegetable fern) that villagers pluck from the mountain. Once termed valuelessly, it is now a popular green with a fresh addictive taste.
With organic vegetables that are homegrown from the garden right next to the kitchen, the Thai Herbal Food sound deliciously green, fragrant and healthy.
Even the non-vegetarian in the group enjoyed the fresh taste of the vegetables cooked simply.
For once we didn’t have a hearty meal full of meat. This one is light and packed with nutrients, and we felt great after a delightful lunch by the river.
