12 December 2007, "Kana An Kitchen" in Amphoe Khemerat, Ubon Ratchathani Province. Newt remembers this building (in times past) as having only 1 floor, and having rooms to rent--this was before it became a restaurant. Some 40-odd years ago, a room could be rented for about 50 Baht a month. Sue asked the cook about the previous owners (they lived to the left of the two-story section, to the rear of the glass-display case), but we had to depart before we got the story.
The cook's cooking fires are in the front of restaurant, near the front grill of the pickup truck in the photo. There are display fish tanks in the restaurant proper, and the toilets are to the back, in the storage area.
Kana An Kitchen has excellent chicken with basil.
This seafood soup was also very good. Newt couldn't identify the fish, but thought it might be locally caught from the Mekong river.
This dish featured chicken with cashews, baby corn, and tomatos. It was excellent.
Also, we had a good fish salad, which was tasty, but had a slightly sloppy presentation (unusual for Thailand). All told, the food was very good to excellent, and the price was stunningly low--our entire bill for 5 diners, which included rice, 1 large beer, and 1 soda, came to less than 300 baht.
