Tamarind Restaurant Phuket proudly unveils four innovative new menus, skillfully crafted by the celebrated Chef Nok. This latest culinary collection blends the depth of Thai culinary heritage with the sophistication of contemporary French gastronomy, promising guests a truly memorable dining journey. The menu highlights Chef Nok’s creative vision, using premium ingredients to reimagine classic dishes. Diners begin with the Spicy Seafood & Glass Noodle Salad, where fine glass noodles are elevated with wakame and nori, then paired with tender Hokkaido scallops, rock lobster, and fresh squid for a vibrant, zesty start. Next, the ‘Tom Yum’ Lobster Bisque presents a brilliant fusion of two beloved soups.
