Situated on the hotel’s 31st floor and dominated by soaring windows giving way to spectacular views of Bangkok, The Kites Eatery is adorned with abstract artwork of kites - a reference to the popular pastime of kite flying in state park Sanum Luang.
Fashioned by executive chef Katisak “Note” Pinkaew and his team, the new menu is served a la minute using quality ingredients from local farms. The menu is made up of six sections - “Yum”, “Kub-Khao”, “Jan-Deaw”, “Kin-Len”, “Ping-Yang” and “Khong-Wanh”.
Thai salads are known as “yum”, which means “mix”. “Yum Woonsen Boran - Rustic recipe glass noodle salad with minced pork and dried shrimps” and “Yum Nuea Yang - Spicy grilled grass-fed Australian beef salad” are among highlights of the menu’s Yum offerings. Meaning “eat and play”, Kin-Len’s appetisers include “Thod Mun Mhuk - Bite size spicy squid cake with cucumber relish” and “Lookchin Plakray - Slow poached leatherback fish ball with Chef s recipe sauce”.
“Our new menu draws on our inspiration to offer all sorts of surprises as we take diners on a culinary pilgrimage of Thailand,” said Pinkaew.
Kub-Khao, which translates to “with rice”, features options served with a choice of jasmine rice or brown rice. Kub-Khao dishes range from “Phed Palow rice field duck stew in herbal soya sauce served with egg” to ‘Talay Phad Phong Karee - Stir fried catch of the day seafood with smooth yellow curry sauce’”. Meaning “grilled”, Ping-Yang’s options such as “Mhuk Yang - Yaowarat’s style grilled squid tubes
Goong Phao - Grilled Samut Songkhram’s tiger prawns with chili lime sauce” are also accompanied by rice.
Jan-Deaw, a.k.a “a la carte”, affords the likes of “Khaw Soi Nuea - Chiang Mai curry noodle with tender grass-fed beef” and “Khaw Nha Gai - Bangkok China town chicken rice stew with chili and chive”. Mango sticky rice and coconut ice cream are among Khong-Wahn’s “sweet things”.
Open from 6.30am-11pm, The Kites Eatery’s chefs serve a healthy buffet breakfast and a la carte menu from noon, as well as customised lunches and banquets for meetings and events.
