It’s a hilltop palace. With a regal view above the world. And it can comfortably call itself by a grand name – without boasting. Because you really are treated like a king at Royal Siam.
Choose to sit in the bright and elegant 50-seat interior restaurant building with its luxurious padded chairs, or on the spacious 30-seat terra-cotta tiled terrace with the infinity swimming pool directly below, and the ornate plunge-pool with its trickling waterfalls to one side. From both locations you’ll be able to enjoy the view.
thai cuisineRoyal Thai Cuisine is served here, alongside a wide international selection. Recommended starters include: Khanom-pung Nar Koong – deep-fried shrimps on toast served with sweet and sour cucumber sauce; and Poo Jar – deep-fried stuffed crab-meat served with plum sauce. Both dishes are perfect examples of Royal Thai cuisine – delicious, and imaginatively presented too.
The Kaeng Khiew-warn Ped Yarng – roasted duck-meat green curry in a young coconut shell – shows how cooking Royal Thai-style changes the taste of a favourite Thai dish, with dramatic results. Marvellous!
And if you really want to experience extreme differences of the same dish, try Royal Siam’s Khao Pad Prik Kaeng Khiew Warn Gai – fried-rice with chicken in green curry served with salted-egg and Chinese sausage. The name is the same as what’s offered on streets and footpaths across the whole country – but that’s about the only similarity!
authentic thai cuisineIf you’re not feeling adventurous, and want to stay with international cuisine or seafood, no problem, there’s plenty for you to choose from. The Royal Prawn Cocktail with its huge king prawns, ample salad and special sauce on a large plate makes the tiny European versions back home of the same starter in a small glass look a bit sad. And it tastes great too. The Lobster Bisque is also highly recommended and will certainly prepare you for the main courses.
Both the Peninsula Steak and King Prawns with pepper sauce and baked potato, and the Grilled Chicken-breast with Neapolitan sauce and French fries come highly recommended – personally!
And if you want to mix eastern and western tastes in a single dish, there’s always the Pizza Royal Thai Village, which successfully Samui Dining Guideblends the two using chicken massaman curry, tomatoes and mozzarella cheese as its main ingredients.
In the wine department there are no compromises either, with every major wine-producing country of the world represented to complement the world-class cuisine on offer.
Royal Siam really does provide a special Royal Thai Cuisine experience – in royal style!
