Our food is delicate, interesting, adventurous and above all, delicious.
The walls at Benjarong, (the best Thai restaurant on town- as we’ve been told by satisfied diners,) are hung with hand made golden embroidered banners, everywhere you look is beauty and excellence – even the crockery and condiment sets are handpainted in the traditional five different colours of Thai (Benjarong) pottery, traced in gold.
Dining at Benjarong is a joyous adventure/exploration into flavour and texture – Seafood mixed with lemongrass mushrooms and hint of chilli is Tom Yum Talay for example. It’s one of benjarong’s Tom-Yum soups.
There’s Pla Muek Yad Sai – an exciting combination of squid, prawn meat, pork, fish fresh herbs, chillies and garlic. Deep fried and served on a sizzling platter. It’s a chef’s speciality, and easy to see why. There’s Gai Ob Pu Kao Fai – described as Volcano sizzling whole chicken marinaded with Thai herbs, served with sweet chilli sauce which is a spectacular and often requested special.
