MUST TRY

The Plara Pasta is one of our most meaningful signature dishes, inspired by the depth and complexity of Thai fermented fish flavours.

The ingredient is reinterpreted into a contemporary pasta dish, balancing umami, aroma, and refinement while preserving its Thai identity.

Thai Herb Pesto Pasta with Salmon Confit, Salted Egg Carbonara with Crispy Calamari, and Thai Tea Tiramisu. These dishes best represent Sanitwong’s Progressive Thai–Mediterranean cuisine, where familiar Thai flavours are reinterpreted through refined techniques, quality ingredients, and a creative contemporary approach.

To end the meal, the Thai Tea Tiramisu offers a playful yet elegant interpretation of a classic dessert with a distinctly Thai character.

Together, these dishes represent Sanitwong’s Progressive Thai–Mediterranean cuisine, where local Thai ingredients, regional wisdom, and familiar flavours are thoughtfully transformed through refined techniques and creative presentation.

FOOD

Sanitwong Bites & Brews serves Progressive Thai–Mediterranean cuisine that celebrates Thai identity, local ingredients, and seasonal produce through a contemporary approach. Our menu is inspired by familiar Thai flavours and regional ingredients, reinterpreted with Mediterranean techniques, refined presentation, and a strong sense of storytelling.

Beyond our signature dishes, the menu features creative items such as Bangkok Crudo, Chicken Confit with Laab Sauce, Jasmine Rice Arancini and Ajad Salad, and Thai Artichoke Salad.

Bangkok Crudo is our Thai-inspired interpretation of a Mediterranean crudo. The dish highlights fresh seafood paired with a Thai nam pla wan sauce, traditionally known for its sweet, savoury, and aromatic depth. We reinterpret this familiar Thai flavour profile in a lighter, more refined Mediterranean style, creating a dish that is fresh, vibrant, and distinctly rooted in Bangkok.

The Chicken Confit with Laab Sauce presents tender slow-cooked chicken with the bold, aromatic flavours of Thai laab. It is served with jasmine rice arancini, transforming Thailand’s iconic jasmine rice into a Mediterranean-inspired crispy rice element, alongside a refreshing ajad salad that brings acidity, brightness, and balance to the dish.

Our Thai Artichoke Salad reflects our philosophy of using Thai ingredients creatively. Instead of imported artichoke, we use Thai banana blossom as the main ingredient, presenting it with the inspiration of a Mediterranean artichoke salad. The result is a dish that feels elegant and familiar at the same time, connecting local Thai produce with a contemporary international perspective.

Together, these dishes represent the heart of Sanitwong: thoughtful, ingredient-driven cuisine that bridges Thai culinary wisdom with Mediterranean inspiration, offering guests a dining experience that is creative, sincere, and deeply connected to place.
