Siam Tea Room at Asiatique Bangkok
/
Set against the glittering backdrop of the Chao Phraya River, Siam Tea Room at Asiatique The Riverfront offers more than just a meal – it’s a warm and authentic introduction to Thailand’s rich gastronomic heritage. Housed in an elegant two-storey wooden building, complete with indoor and alfresco seating, the restaurant blends old-world charm with the vibrant energy of Bangkok’s famed night bazaar. Under the guidance of Chef Aunkool “Aony” Poolpipat, whose passion for food was shaped by recipes passed down from her grandmother, diners are invited to experience authentic Thai flavours elevated by modern presentation and premium, locally sourced ingredients.
The menu here is a journey through regional traditions, starting with fresh and vibrant appetisers. A standout is Grandma’s recipe spicy and sour pomelo salad with mango, fluffy crispy fish and sweet pork – a dish that balances tang, heat and delicate sweetness in every bite. Another favourite is fresh spring rolls wrapped around plump sea prawns, edible flowers, herbs and crisp lettuce, served with a fragrant spicy peanut and sesame sauce that’s impossible to resist.
For those craving comfort, the creamy, spicy tom yum soup with succulent sea prawns and roasted chilli paste delivers a rich, aromatic warmth that captures the soul of Thai home cooking. Seafood lovers will also delight in stir-fried soft-shell crab coated in velvety yellow curry sauce, a dish as indulgent as it is satisfying. Meat enthusiasts are not forgotten, with BBQ free-range pork ribs glazed with a spicy tamarind sauce and sprinkled with roasted rice offering a smoky, sticky-sweet hit.
No Thai feast is complete without a nod to the country’s beloved mango sticky rice, and Siam Tea Room’s take is pure artistry. The butterfly pea sweet sticky rice with juicy mango, sweet caviar and creamy young coconut ice cream is a refreshing finale that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.
Whether you’re here for a romantic riverside dinner, a leisurely family gathering or a quick stop between exploring Asiatique’s bustling lanes, Siam Tea Room is a place where time slows, flavours shine, and tradition is served with pride. As the lights of Bangkok shimmer on the water, you’ll find yourself lingering over every last bite – and already planning your return.
