Blue Elephant

Formerly home to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the restaurant is housed in a century old building where European architecture and style is exceptionally pronounced. The décor is exotically tropical, giving the feel of a colonial lifestyle.

The ground floor is sectioned with the right being traditional low Thai tables with cushions on the floor and to the left, Western style tables. The restaurant offers scrumptious Thai food and also has a cookery school.

The menu of the restaurant is a blend of tradition and novelties with a wide array of choices. The delicacies on offer are aplenty, we opted for two starters; ‘black pepper scallops’ and Thai fish cakes’, however, the set menu could be good for first timers to get a taste of various selections in tapas style portions. The traditional ‘massaman lamb curry’ served with New Zealand lamb in a medium spiced rich sauce is so tender that it falls apart in the mouth. For dessert try the ‘kluay khai cheuam’, banana in perfumed syrup served with coconut ice-cream.

A guaranteed soothing ambiance and delicious food awaits you at the Blue Elephant restaurant.
