One of the greatest things about Thai food is its diversity of flavours, especially the cuisine from the South of Thailand, where spices combine perfectly with a variety of fresh ingredients from the sea. The Siam Tea Room at Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park is taking us on a gastronomic journey to the sun-soaked shores of Southern Thailand this October and November, with a new promotion that celebrates the time-honoured culinary traditions of this tropical region. With its long coastlines, exotic ingredients, and rich cultural influences, Thailand’s southern provinces have developed a highly distinctive style of cuisine that is different from other parts of the kingdom. Now, Siam Tea Room’s talented Thai chefs will showcase these unique flavours with a special menu of eight highly authentic Southern Thai dishes. Diners can treat their taste buds to a choice of enticing appetizers, including chili shrimp paste with fried mackerel, vegetables, and soft-boiled egg (THB 310++), and Southern-style herbal rice salad with fresh tender leaves, fluffy fish, and fermented fish dressing (THB 350++). Two sublime stir-fried dishes are also on offer: stir-fried prawns with sato, chili, garlic, and shrimp paste (THB 410++), and stir-fried malindjo leaves with egg and banana shrimp (THB 410++).
