I had the chance to visit KHAAN Bangkok this September and it completely blew me away.
- Crocodile Tongue – stir-fried with pad cha sauce, served with homemade yogurt, plus crispy crocodile tendon that was braised then fried. Weirdly addictive and definitely a first for me.
- Southern Golden Thread Marigold – chef stacked marigold petals one by one into this crazy beautiful flower. Crunchy texture, super fragrant, and a clever little amuse bouche repping Southern Thailand.
- Earth and Sea – cabbage = “earth,” scallop jus = “sea,” topped with caviar from Hua Hin. The sauce was so intense and balanced, probably my favorite of the night.
- Cassava (Zero-Waste dish) – noodles made from a local cassava that cooks in 5 minutes. Sauce came from roasted veggie + fruit scraps simmered 8 hours. Served with house-grown bean sprouts, fiery pine pepper, and crispy freshwater algae. Sustainable but also really tasty.
- Finished with Petit Fours – 5 little bites after dessert. By then I was stuffed.

Went there last week, because another post suggested it couple of weeks ago. It definitely didn’t hit the spot for me. I feel like place like wanayook or hawwm are way way better and impossible to compare. I put khaan in the same category as nusara and le du tbh
“What did you have for dinner yesterday?” “Oh, you know, just the usual: Some cabbage, some noodles, a bit of crocodile tongue…”
Would love to eat there just to say that I’ve eaten crocodile tongue.
