Colombo Thai Food📸

Tired from exploring Colombo’s Independence Square, I wandered into May’s Table around the corner—never expecting to fall for this little building. White walls and red windows peek through greenery; downstairs is the red-brick former Governor’s office, and the 2nd-floor terrace glimpses the square’s lawns and spires. Even locals love it for wedding photos. I planned to grab a quick Thai meal, but was wowed by the welcome drink and left with a phone full of “pretending to be in Bangkok” shots🇹🇭 🌿 Thai Charm by a Historic Building: Vibe Steals the Show The restaurant isn’t super visible, but follow the signs to “Independence Square” and look for the bungalow tangled with bougainvillea next to the “Former Governor’s Office” marker. The ground-floor courtyard has an old banyan tree, its branches sprawling wide. Light filters through leaves onto flagstones—wedding couples pose under it, white dresses against green shadows, looking straight out of a movie; The 2nd floor is prime viewing: rattan tables on the terrace, with views of Independence Square’s white monument and the old building’s red-tiled roofs. At dusk, sunlight gilds the tableware—sip a drink and zone out, more relaxing than sightseeing; Interior is minimalist Thai style, with Bangkok street art on walls. AC hits just right—step in after the square, and the heat melts away～ 🍹 Welcome Drink Wins First: Lemongrass Lime Refreshment A free welcome drink arrives as you sit—iced lemongrass lime in a little glass. Stick in a straw, and the faint lemongrass aroma hits first. Sour-sweet and crisp, it’s like sipping Southeast Asian breeze, instantly quenching post-walk thirst. This alone bumps up the restaurant’s rating👍 🌶️ Dishes: “Localized Thai” for Chinese Palates, Spice Adjustable The menu is in Chinese, English, and Thai—no confusion. Tried classics, and overall, it’s “safe but not stunning”: Chicken satay: Char-grilled chicken chunks on bamboo sticks, with thick, sweet peanut sauce. Tender meat, good plain or dipped—just portions are small; Beef curry: Yellow curry with rich coconut milk, beef stewed tender enough to chew easily. Potatoes soak up the sauce, creamy and flavorful. Minor flaw: slightly salty (likely localized), but pairs well with rice; Tom yum soup: Mild spice, great for non-spicy lovers. Shrimp, mushrooms, and kaffir lime in the broth—sour-spicy with coconut warmth. Shrimp aren’t huge, though; Staff say spice can be adjusted—ask for “more spicy” for authentic Thai heat. Watched locals order green papaya salad and pad thai—looked good, worth a try next time😉 📍 Practical Tips: Location: 5-minute walk from Independence Square. Search “May’s Table” on Google Maps—navigation works; Best time: After 4 PM to avoid midday heat and catch sunset on the 2nd floor; Cost: ¥60-100 per person, moderate for Colombo; Nearby: Post-meal, feed pigeons at Independence Square or walk 10 mins to the National Museum. Leaving, the wedding shoot ended, and the couple smiled goodbye. Glancing back at May’s Table’s 2nd floor, sunset gilded the roof. Suddenly, I thought: Sometimes a restaurant’s point isn’t just food—it’s a rest stop for tired travels, plus a few unexpectedly nice photos. Craving Thai near Independence Square? This one’s safe—at least the welcome drink and 2nd-floor view won’t let you down～✨ #Colombo #IndependenceSquare #ThaiFood #ColomboEats #SriLankaTravel
