Chef Chompon "Boong" Boonnak, co-owner of Mahaniyom and Merai Bar, shows what to eat at his Thai tapas bar in Brookline, Boston. He starts with a pineapple-infused gin dirty martini, then works through the fan favorites: a southern Thai-style crab curry with vermicelli, bean sprouts, and Thai basil in a house-made curry, and crispy fried chicken skin that regulars always order. There's also a spicy, refreshing pomelo salad, a smoked mushroom salad, and a whole branzino topped with fresh herbs. If you're wondering where to eat in Boston or looking for the best food spots for your next foodie night out, these chef-approved bites make this one of the Boston restaurants worth a visit. #foodtour #foodguide #thaifood #boston #bostonrestaurants
