Building on his Sava Dining experience, feted fashion designer Polpat Asavaprapha has teamed up with Nara Thai Cuisine to launch elevated street food eatery Co
Nestled on the first floor of Langsuan’s brand new community complex, Velaa Sindhorn Village, Co Limited serves Thai street food favourites but with beef as the star ingredient. “When I first visited the compound, I found the project really interesting and was particularly drawn into this beautiful space overlooking the venue’s lush garden,” says Polpat Asavaprapha. “I thought about branching out Sava Dining (his first restaurant concept), but in the end I felt it was more appropriate to do something a little bit more fun and vibrant here.”
Polpat explains that he wants the restaurant to serve what he calls ‘approachable food’, elevated Thai comfort fare that is at the same time novel. “The local restaurant scene is quite saturated right now and it is essential to offer points of differentiation,” he states. “We looked into a wide range of ingredients and felt that there was room in the market for Thai-style steak places. Consequently, beef became our highlight ingredient. As for the restaurant’s name, a meal for Thai people is all about co-eating, or spending relaxed quality time together over food, so we wanted to create an ambience for co-hanging out. Good food is best enjoyed in good company.”
