FOOD

With an impressive menu selection of authentic Thai cuisine, Suan Thips is famous for its curries, Kaeng Born and Kaeng Kee Lek (yellow curry with Siamese cassia), prepared with salted dried Spanish mackerel and Thai mackerel. The curries are paired with side dishes that offset the intense flavors of the main dish; salted eggs or crispy small fish. Other favorites at Suan Thip include Miang, served with toasted coconut, lotus seeds, and lotus petal wraps sourced from the lotus flowers grown in the restaurant’s garden; and Nam Prik Nakhon Ban, a spicy relish cooked with hairy eggplant, Madan, and crispy snakehead fish. The a-la-carte menu features a vast choice of traditional Thai and international dishes, including appetizers, salads, soups, and main courses.
