Six of us shared these sumptuous Thai dishes 😄

I took this picture right from where I was seated, looking out of the window. Savoey is located inside Terminal 21 Asok shopping mall which is at the doorstep of Asok (E4) BTS station. Get the seats along the large windows for grand Bangkok city views like this from the restaurant 😄

Savoey serves traditional Thai cuisine in a clean, spacious and convenient location. The murals tell me that Savoey is family friendly and emphasises fresh local ingredients. Savoey grew from a humble mom and pop eatery in Patong, Phuket (south Thailand) in 1972 to nine locations throughout Bangkok (and Pattaya) today.

First up, Savoey's popular stir fried mud crab in yellow curry sauce. This is one of Savoey's signature dishes from south Thailand. The thick yellow curry smothering the crab was sweetish with mild chili heat, rich with herb and spice flavours and aromas.

The crab meat was uber fresh with its natural, delicate crustacean sweetness shielded from the curry by the shell.

Steamed giant river prawn with garlic. The mildly spicy chopped garlic and drippy savoury sauce brought out the natural crustacean sweetness from the giant river prawn's thick, springy, crunchy white flesh.

Steamed giant river prawn in fresh milk. Yet another way to enjoy Thailand's legendary giant river prawns. The milky sweetness of fresh milk layered on the delicate crustacean sweetness of the giant river prawn.

Mixed seafood “Tom Yum Soup”. Umami savoury, sourish, spicy hot soup with prawn, squid, fish meat, etc.

Deep fried sea bass with fish sauce and mango salsa. Thais have a way to deep fry fresh fish without batter till the outside is crisp golden brown while the white flesh inside is tender and moist. Paired with umami savoury fish sauce and sweet-sour mango salsa to bring out the natural sweetness of sea bass with every mouthful.

Sizzling oyster omelette (menu says Braised Oyster Omelette 🤔). Soft succulent oysters embedded in a crisp, chewy pan cake of savoury eggy batter.

Grilled chicken and sticky rice. Savoury sweet grilled chicken with sweet chewy sticky rice.

Thai green curry with pork. Sweetish curry packed full of sweetness and spice and herb flavours with soft fresh pork slices.

Deep fried crab meat. I love this meaty crab dumpling with savoury and natural crustacean sweet flavours. I enjoyed its mix of soft and crisp textures too.

Deep fried pan cake with sea prawns (menu says Moon style deep fried spring roll 🤔 ).

Refreshing Pandanus Kale smoothie, one of Savoey's signature drinks.

Good place for authentic Thai cuisine, especially for families and groups. Prices are reasonable for the quality ingredients, expert cooking, superb location, friendly service, clean and comfortable environment, and great city views. Savoey have promotion sets regularly which make ordering easy and are good value for money too.

Terminal 21 Asok has nine floors of designer brands, niche local labels, international cuisine, Thai cuisine (e.g. Savoey), a gourmet supermarket, boutique shops, a street cuisine food court and more. Each floor is decorated based on a "world's best-known shopping streets" theme like Paris, Tokyo, San Francisco, etc.

Savoey has nine outlets in Bangkok and Pattaya. This is the riverside Tha Maharaj outlet:
