LawrenceChee Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Location - Across to the B2 hotel along the highway that hosted the recent scene condo launch. Leave it to the GPS experts to provide the google map links Went to this Thai restaurant with a friend last night and here's the review Ambience - Place is well planned like a Lanna House. Ample parking for cars / bikes and area is well planned like a sala style. Good tables size for big groups and intimate couple seats. Small air conditioned area also available although dining after 6.30 is cool with the fans discreetly placed in the trees They have a 3 piece band with the lady singing very impressively on old love and jazz songs with no Thai accented English Service was discreet and marshaled by a young Thai hi-so who was great with the order taking if you don't speak Thai fluently. Menus are available in Thai and English Food - we ordered the following and I give it an impressive 8/10 overall Shrimp in Popiah Skin - Crispy and very fresh shrimps used. Nice alternative to the usual crumbed style shrimps Omelet with pork - hard to get this Thai classic wrong so no further discussions Fried Rice Shrimps - besides the usual Thai style condiments, they used dried salted mackerel and shrimps bits in the rice making it a great flavorful difference Fried Sea Bass with Mint Leaves - Fish was fresh and all cut to bite size. The coriander and mint leaves combined well Seafood soup in laksa paste - this was a good local Singapore twist , mussels shrimps etc in the soup but the coconut milk taste really came true and I told the chef if he added noodles he has a nice straits dish for those who love the street food of Singapore and Malaysia The food portions were really good for 4 and we were just greedy and the final bill was 960 baht. Overall a winner and I will be back with friends 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelsLariat Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Not to get greedy, but there's more than one B2 hotel in Chiang Mai and more than one highway. Could you pin down the location of this restaurant with a little more precision? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anselpixel Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I think that would be Tubtim fish and Eric Clapton covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiangMai101 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 The food is great there. Quite a few of the dishes have a Balinese influence. Prices are on the expensive side but they do use quality ingredients and food presentation is top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
