A Prawn Tom Yum soup is an appetizing way to begin your experience, paired with the Crystal Prawn Dumplings. Then there are Shrimp Cigars and Crab Claws, besides a range of choices from Red Snapper, Grouper, Pomfret and Sea Bass. Start the mains with the all-time favorite Braised Seer, a tangy, dish that goes well with Crab meat Fried Rice. Those who like things spicy must not miss the Thai Curry. One dish curated to make seafood lovers go gaga is the Standing Pomfret, topped with the popular Phuket sauce.
