Southern Thai restaurant, Plaza Khao Gaeng, will be launching in Borough Yards this November, marking the second site from Chef-Founder Luke Farrell and JKS Restaurants. Following the success of the original Michelin Bib Gourmand-awarded restaurant in Tottenham Court Road, Luke will bring Southern Thailand’s coast-to-jungle cuisine to the arches of Stoney Street.
Plaza Khao Gaeng’s second location sets braised soy and spiced pork hocks – traditionally served from Thailand’s famous wheeled carts – against the fiercely sour gaeng som curries of Phatthalung. It is Southern Thai cooking at its boldest, a faithful take on khao gaeng, ‘curry over rice’, now tuned for big-city appetites. Hyper-seasonal produce from Luke’s Ryewater Nursery greenhouses shapes the menu, bringing freshness and intensity straight from garden to plate.
Plaza Khao Gaeng at Borough Yards will be the most recent addition from Chaiyo Restaurants, the Thai restaurant group from JKS Restaurants and Luke Farrell. This group also includes Speedboat Bar, with two sites in Soho and Notting Hill.
