Manohra Chef’s Table Delights the Senses with a Floating Feast
By Lifestyle+Travel
Manohra Cruises at Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort invites anyone who loves a gourmet Thai meal accented with five-star service and unparalleled river views to the first Manohra Chef’s Table on 23 November 2019. Diners will be treated to culinary delights especially prepared for the evening by Anantara Riverside Executive Chef Phongthorn Hinracha.
The Chao Phraya is Thailand’s majestic waterway through which flows the Kingdom’s story. Discovering the sights of Thailand’s culture, history, and life today is a sheer pleasure on a luxury dinner cruise aboard Manorha Cruises’ lavishly restored antique teak rice barges. The skyline that unfolds from the Manohra pier at Anantara Riverside speaks to the resplendent past with the Grand Palace, Temple of Dawn, and Phra Sumen Fort, as well as to the nation’s modernity in the form of the Asiatique, Thammasart University, and Rama VII Bridge.
This first Manhora Chef’s Table will feature a menu highlighting Thai flavours with the unique flair that “Chef Phongthorn Hinracha” demonstrated to win the recent Asian Twist competition on Iron Chef Thailand. Dining in style on the Manohra Cruise with the meandering riverside skyline sparkling by to set the mood, guests will experience the award-winning flavours and innovative gastronomic vision of Chef Phongthorn with a four-course culinary journey, which begins with a refreshing Salmon & Hokkaido Scallop Carpaccio, followed by a Southern Thai Oxtail Consommé. Then diners can choose from a Charcoal-Grilled Snow Fish with Lemongrass Beurre Blanc or a Grilled Australian Darling Downs Wagyu with Panaeng Curry. A Mango Nitrogen Ice Cream with Ginger Crumbles and Wollongong Port Wine Compote makes the perfect finish. To enhance each course further, Chef Phongthorn paired each dish with selections from the Batasiolo Winery in Piedmont, Italy.
This unique journey of the senses begins at 7.00pm at Manohra Welcome Lounge on Saturday, 23 November 2019, for THB 3,200 net including wine pairing, with limited seating available, so advanced bookings are encouraged.

Sun-Kissed Cuisine
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++). Two mouth-watering main courses include Southern-style yellow curry with red snapper and cumin leaves (THB 480++), and Southern-style wagyu oxtail soup with Thai spices, onion, tomato, celery, and crispy shallots (THB 510++). Diners can end their Southern Thai epicurean adventure on a sweet note with a choice of two delectable desserts: khanom la – crispy rice pancake with honey-glazed finger banana and coconut ice cream (THB 190++), and Southern-style iced milk tea with whipped cream and sweet egg floss (THB 165++).
