Zood Zood Restaurant Chiang Mai

Coming up for its 1 year anniversary, Zood Zood restaurant in Nimman Soi 9 is a unique Thai haunt popular with the arty students, the local Thai crowd and the masses of tourists which inhabit this trendy yet charming part of town situated barely a few clicks north-west of the old city.

Owned by Khun Kwang, 2 dishes feature here, the first: A satiating chicken green curry fried rice, not your bog standard chicken or pork fried dish which you’ll find in the West and second: A light spicy pork salad garnished with garlic, capsicum peppers, Pak Chi – or parsley, coconut sugar, salt, 3 freshly squeezed green lemons, fish sauce and a sprinkling of chopped bell peppers (depending on your bravery!).

Both can be rustled up in under 10 ten minutes, with the green curry fried rice dish taking barley 3 minutes and the pork strips being allowed a little longer – 7 mins approx to be grilled, fried or barbecued.

Zood Zood is extremely affordable with the cow pad gaeng keow wan gai setting you back as little as 35 Baht!

Stylish, clean, with excellent service, Khun Kwang’s restaurant boasts a powerful menu with many salmon dishes, rare northern recipes and an ever changing menu based on seasonal foods.

A variation of beers are also in stock to accompany your steak, salad, seafood, noodle soup or rice number.

A new menu is on the cards after Songkran 2015, with updates here to follow.
