Tried Khao Pla for the first time and the decor was very modern and clean. The one negative about the restaurant was the dim yellow lighting for the tables in the back, which made reading the menu very difficult.
We ordered the pear and soft shelled crab, which was a sure win tasty dish, as well as the pork ribs in a sticky tamarind sauce. Gai Nam Prik Pao (Fried Chickjen with cashew and chilli jam) was quiet nice, the Pla Pad Cha (southern Thai style fried fish fillets with turmeric, chilli, Thai eggplant and basil) was very salty and definitely needs to be eat with rice. We also ordered fried rice with chicken, which was but a very small serving.
The one thing I was not impressed by at Khao Pla, is that if you bring cake in to celebrate a birthday, they will charge you a fee if you serve the cake at the restaurant,

Approximate cost: $90
