This restaurant just opened today, 2nd May 2024, and it was a wonderful experience to try their food, which focuses on Southern Thai cuisine.
I liked the ambience of the interior decor and its vibe. The seating is cozy and elegant, with a nice blend of wood and brick. Very classy.
The food was flavourful and the standout for me was the Pla Yadsai (stuffed fish with mackerel) and the Khao Chae (which is this plate of savory assortments paired with a bowl of rice in fragrant water). The bowl of rice in fragrant flower water was a delightful balance to the savory assortment.
I was told this rice in fragrant jasmine water is a dish that originated from the Royal Thai palace. I was also informed that preparation involved more effort than most people realize. And I’m inclined to believe this as the taste was light yet distinct. And I was also told that this dish was served mainly during the hot summers with its cooling effect. (Oh yes, the fragrant jasmine water which the rice is soaked in has a cooler temperature, and is refreshing to the taste).
I hope they serve the Khao Chae all year round at this restaurant because Songkhla feels warm all year round so this would be delightful anytime when eaten in Songkhla! Also, this dish would certainly be a highlight at this restaurant! And every great restaurant has at least a few signature dishes that become famous through word-of-mouth recommendations by delighted patrons, thereby getting new customers coming just to try those special dishes!
I certainly hope Khao Chae is served here all year round; I’m sure this restaurant would be known for this. Highly...
