Among the must-try highlights: a refreshing pomelo salad with Hokkaido scallops and a citrusy twist from ma-peed oranges, served elegantly on betel leaves. Equally tantalizing is the grilled chicken panang, made using Chef Pun’s secret curry paste recipe, and a decadent crab omelet drizzled with rich crab fat sauce. Seafood lovers will be captivated by the sea bass tom klong, paired ingeniously with crispy fried stingray, and the steamed sea bass sourced from the mineral-rich waters of Chachoengsao. Rounding out the seafood experience are the stir-fried tiger prawns with chili and salt.
