The chefs honour the rich heritage of Thai cooking while incorporating techniques and ingredients from around the globe, resulting in dishes that surprise and delight even the most discerning palates.

Must-Try Dishes That Define Excellence

The Michelin Guide Phuket specifically highlights several standout dishes that exemplify Talung Thai’s culinary prowess.

• Thai Mixed Canapés 

Serving as an introduction to traditional flavours with contemporary presentation, which represent our chef’s mastery. The Canapes include: Foie gras stuffed crispy chicken wing, Larb diced salmon salad served in a garden leaf, Fried ‘sarong’ shrimp, and Tiger prawn money bags wrapped in chicken skin. Each canapé offers a different taste sensation, from the delicate sweetness of palm sugar to the fiery kick of bird’s eye chilli.

• Kung Mangkon Pad Sabat Cho

Kung Mangkon Pad Sabat Cho, or stir-fried Phuket lobster, is our main course that stands as a signature offering that captures the essence of southern Thai cuisine. The fragrant dish features succulent lobster meat wok-tossed with aromatic herbs. The dish is served with som tum and steamed jasmine rice, creating a harmony of savoury and spicy flavours.

• Paresa’s Crystal Diamond

A Thai-style dessert that is the perfect finale of your meal. This artistic creation combines Thai sweets such as Dragon fruit egg custard, gold leaf, coconut jelly, citrus caviar, and mango sorbet, served elegantly with beautiful plating techniques, offering a sweet conclusion that’s as beautiful to look at as it is delicious to eat.

While the Michelin-recommended dishes rightfully command attention, the full menu reveals even more culinary treasures. The Larb Salmon offers an innovative twist on the classic Thai salad, substituting traditional minced meat with diced salmon. 

The Yum Som-O (pomelo salad) exemplifies the restaurant’s commitment to authentic flavours. Grilled jumbo tiger prawns crown a bed of fresh pomelo segments, dried shrimp, peanuts, shallots, and lime leaves, all tossed in a tangy Thai dressing.

For those seeking international options, menus such as the Char-Grilled Grain-Fed Rib Eye and Seared Pepper Crusted Yellow Fin Tuna with Nicoise Salad won’t disappoint.
