The food of Trat, the eastern coastal province bordering Cambodia, is largely unknown even to Thais. While this area is known for excellent produce and luscious fruit in particular, its distinctive cuisine is nearly impossible to find outside Trat’s borders. Chef Wongwich “Ack” Sripinyo is on a mission to change that. At his other restaurant Burapa, he allows himself to be a little more creative. But at Sri Trat he sticks to the classics, serving dozens of recipes he learned from his mother Srirat. (A mural depicting Srirat in her beauty queen days watches over the dining room.) Look for rare dishes like a massaman curry with green durian or chicken cooked with chilli and cardamom shoots, an ingredient that most Thai people have never heard of. Lon, a coconut crab dip made with roe, is one of the best versions of the dish you’ll find anywhere. Note that Sri Trat is particularly proud of its homemade desserts. Save room for them! —Vincent Vichit-Vadakan
