WHERE TO EAT The best Thai Curry in the world (according to food experts)

"Supanniga captivated the hearts and stomachs of locals and expats alike with home-style cooking. Family recipes have been preserved for three generations and include a richly flavoured crab curry and a deep-fried catfish."

"Recommended dish is the fiery Khua Kling Phak Sot (dry curry with minced pork)."

"The green curry with three-day braised short ribs is a wonder."

"The khao soi curry gravy was outstanding, flavored beautifully with just the right amount of spices, and not to sweet like it can sometimes be. It was rich, but not oily."

"There are few misses but for the most part everything on the menu is unique, delicious and oh-so-pretty. We recommend the massaman lamb."

"The Khao Soi itself is pretty spectacular. Rich, fragrant, and deeply savory, with a mild heat and just a touch of sweetness."

"Delicious coconut-free tomato and pork-based sauce dished over pea shoots and rice noodles that are shaved, or cut, from a big block of ground, cooked, and pressed rice (they're fantastic by the way, very chewy and bursting with rice flavor)."

"It's run by the inimitable Madam Rose, who has been serving her version of Southern Thai cooking there for nearly 15 years. She'll help you order – the yellow crab curry and tamarind prawns are both favourites."

"Along with home style dishes, he also uses a few recipes from the Royal Thai kitchen. I especially enjoyed the gaeng kua gai bai som pan kee maa. For a sit down Thai restaurant, The Local is a great choice!"

"Not too spicy, you got all those aromatic spices really coming through. Plus the creaminess from the coconut."
