Bangkok--9 Apr--Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel & Towers
As the scorching summer sun sends temperatures soaring, a traditional dish that is enjoyed this time of year is khao chae. Refreshing and healthy, khao chae is a chilled porridge made with cooked jasmine rice and floral-scented water. Like khao tom, bowls of khao chae are accompanied by a variety of savory side dishes and condiments, such as fermented shrimp paste (kapi), deep-fried shallots stuffed with fish and slivers of an aromatic rhizome (krachai), shredded and salted beef fried with palm sugar, white Chinese radish fried with egg, and chili peppers stuffed with seasoned minced pork wrapped in thin sheets of fried egg-white.
At the Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel & Towers, Chef Charoensri Vatanayut has prepared a special khao chae menu so you can try this wonderful dish for yourself. For a limited time only, from April 9-17, enjoy delicious khao chae at Thara Tong restaurant at only 450 Baht (price subjects to service charge and government tax). With traditional elegance and views of the Chao Phraya River, it’s a great way to beat the heat!
Thara Thong Royal Thai Cuisine is open for lunch from noon to 2:30 p.m. and dinner from 6:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. The venue offers comfortable floor-seating, either at low tables in an air-conditioned teak pavillion or patio dining outside, and both with mesmerizing views of the Chao Phraya River. In the evening, a professional musician performs classical Thai music. For more information or reservations, please call 02 266 9214 Or E-mail: [email protected]
