The pad kaprao spot is coming to Soho for two months
If you want pad kaprao – the popular Thai street food dish made with stir-fried meat or seafood, holy basil, rice and crispy fried eggs – in Bangkok Phed Mark is one of the best places to get it. Founded by food blogger Mark Wiens, Chef Gigg, former Thai actor Thep, and food critic Kittidech “Tan” Vimolratana, Phed Mark is known for its super spicy versions of pad kaprao, and soon it’s coming to London.
For two months this spring, Phed Mark will be taking over Soho’s Platapian, the Thai restaurant run by Nam Parama Raiva, which opened on the old Patara Soho site last summer. As per Restaurant magazine, the Phed Mark menu, available in Platapian’s downstairs space, will be available on a walk-in basis. Starters, like spring rolls and pork satay, will come from Platapian, with pad kaprao taking centre stage as the main offering, which will come in beef, chicken or veggie versions and varying spice levels. Phed Mark will also be doing a London special of stir-fried mama noodles with lobster, holy basil and a fried egg, especially for the takeover too.
Run, don’t walk for this one.
