Mahanaga Restaurant Bangkok

FOOD:

The cuisine is Thai fusion with the emphasis on stylish presentation. As a starter, kung sarong, or crispy, fried shrimp wrapped in golden noodles, is perfectly cooked and the sweet lemon dip gives it a nice punch. Lemongrass salad with river prawns and cashew nut is spicy but not too hot and goes very well with a white wine. For the main course try one of the many freshly prepared curries. Mahanaga's secret recipe, marinated grilled chicken panaeng with sweet lychee, is maybe too mild and sweet for some but the curry goes well with wok-fried mixed mushrooms, cashews and dried chilli. For dessert, both mango and sticky rice and khao mawe (deep-fried banana with vanilla ice cream) are fusion based and may disappoint die-hard fans of the originals. 2 Sukhumvit

SETTINGS:

Set over three buildings surrounding a treecovered courtyard, the evening ambience makes this an ideal place to introduce foreign guests to Thai cuisine. The bar area and upstairs private room have a cosy retro atmosphere.
