Klerm Description

Located in the space once occupied by Chiang Mai-style restaurant Cacha Cacha, Klerm has a lot in common with its predecessor – which makes sense considering half of the management team is the same. Like Cacha Cacha, Klerm eschews the traditional Thai aesthetic for a more ostentatiously hip look. We love the green curry with chicken (RMB78), the papaya salad (RMB57) and the Thai tea (RMB34). But what does 'klerm' mean? Despite sounding like the name of a cleaning product, we’re told on good authority (i.e. the restaurant owner and another Thai friend) that the word ‘klerm’ actually describes the happy feeling one has after ‘getting high.’ Indeed.
