Dishes follow, with special mention to the superb and delicious khao soi, a curry made with chicken and egg noodles. The shrimp fried rice, with crab paste, may be less visually impressive, but its charms are revealed on the taste buds.

These three courses are just a small sample of the extensive evening menu, which also includes a host of starters, salads, noodle dishes and stir-fries, for example. To make a change from the pad thai and to explore a little, you will want to be advised by the well-informed service staff.
Pamika is open seven evenings and five lunchtimes (Monday to Friday).
