Atlanta Dish Of The Week: Chai-Yo’s ‘Nam Prik Ong’

For this week’s AtlantaFi Dish of the Week, we travel to Asia and, well, not really. OK, Buckhead. That’s where you’ll find the newish Thai restaurant Chai-Yo.

The eatery has a lot of deliciousness, but they recently spotlighted the following:”Nam Prik Ong” – Roasted tomatoes, garlic, shallots, ground pork, touch of shrimp paste served with Lotus chips, pork cracklings, cucumber, and cabbage.

Atlanta Dish: Chai-Yo’s ‘Nam Prik Ong’

Looks good, doesn’t it? I recently tasted it. Words can’t really describe. So flavorful. So good.

The restaurant says that it brings a “chef-driven Thai concept featuring Chef DeeDee Niyomkul’s interpretation of traditional and old-world Thai recipes using new world techniques and inspiration. We agree whole-heartedly!
