| - We went on the 2nd night of the soft opening. Tldr: this unique Royal Thai cuisine experience makes me want to go to Thailand for real.
Starting from my drink, to the apps, then mains and lastly dessert, everything was special, beautiful, delicious and memorable. I did not want to finish my last bite.
My faves:
Pandan Thai iced tea - slightly sweetened, nice Pandan taste, fun colour visual. Great fun way to start the meal.
Khao Yum - rice in 3 colours with various herbs and tamarind soy sauce. I've never seen anything like it! I liked it the taste more with lime.
Braised beef short rib - so tender, and the gravy/curry-like sauce is something I could eat on its own with just rice.
Roy Thai - platter of 4 different style dumplings. Incredibly creative, nice play on visual and flavour. I had to share each bite but you won't want to share...
Fruit platter dessert - these fruits are imported from Thailand. Never have I tasted such ripe fruits from Thailand. The mango!! Ripe for 2 months of the year! It melts in your mouth!! This is like the Kobe beef of fruits!! Mangosteen - first time trying it. I'm definitely going to buy these at the grocery store now! I'm hooked! Pomelo and rambutan - ok, these were not as mind blowing as the first two fruits. We were pretty full after the mains but after tasting the fruits, we would have been able to keep going...
Can't wait to see their expanded and perfectly crafted menu in the future! Definitely coming back. Awesome job Kiin team, Chef Nuit and Jeff!
