The Mango Tree group of restaurants in Bangkok represents the height of luxury and style, with a backbone of contemporary Thai plates and Western fare with strong Thai influences. Beautifully done up and boasting great views of the city, relax with one of the restaurant’s classic fruit-forward cocktails as you peruse its menu of Thai classics. Enjoy everything from courtly dishes and home-cooked fare to street-food and snacks in quiet sophistication. There’s an entire menu of spicy salads, from Sam Thum Thai, the formidable spicy papaya salad, to Larb Ped, a salad of spicy grilled duck. Mouth ablaze and appetite awoken, move on to meaty snacks like Gai Hor Bai Toey, deep fried chicken wrapped in fragrant pandan leaves, or Sai Krok E-Sarn, tender Northern-style sausage flavoured with savoury Thai herbs. For mains, perfect shared with friends over bowls of rice, there’s classic Thai stir-fries, like Phad Priew Wan Goong, bouncy shrimp tossed in a sweet & sour sauce, or Phad Kra Phrao Gai, chicken stir fried in a fiery mix of basil and bird’s eye chili. Curries and whole seafood round up the menu, think Choo Chee Goong Nang, massive river prawns in a piquant red curry, and Pla Kao Sam Rod, a whole garoupa fried to perfection then coated in a sticky tamarind sauce. All the pleasures of great Thai food in one swish, comfortable location. Mango Tree is your destination for that extra-sexy special dinner in the heart of Bangkok. (Jun 2017)
