The Beer Singha (THB ฿100) is brewed by Boon Rawd Brewery as a 100% barley malt beer. With a clear straw golden colour, aroma of grains and rice, and a medium-thin, carbonated body that is crisp. Taste is light, with notes of bread, metal, and malts, goes down easily. Pairs well with spicy food!

The Khao Tom Moo / Boiled Rice And Pork (THB ฿165) rendition is incredibly fragrant with fried garlic chips. The boiled jasmine white rice has a loose fluffy texture with grainy earthy sweet flavour, and the minced pork has a tender bouncy texture with meaty salty savoury sweet flavour. Bits of crisp parsley lend colour, and vegetal bitter herbal flavour. Pure comfort dish. Highly recommended!
