Phuket Restaurant Directory, Dining and After Dinner Entertainment Guide

‘Modern Living Modern Eating’ – a slogan and concept that becomes an abbreviated version of the name of a restaurant that embraces the notion of quality cuisine using the freshest of ingredients and is set in a modern contemporary environment. And this place to dine is kid friendly! Yes, kids can have a meal to their liking from their own menu and then enjoy themselves at the Kids World.

Comfortable couches and tables and chairs amid soft lighting set the scene for a relaxing meal at this chic air conditioned restaurant in the Courtyard by Marriott at Patong. Tastefully decorated, this place to dine features an open kitchen where the curious can see the preparation of the selection of International and Asian dishes.

Executive Chef Anusorn Janthamanee suggested an ensemble of starters and entrées that displayed not only the tastes and textures of the food but also the creativity of the dishes and their presentation.

The Kao Soi Gai, the Chiang Mai Noodle Curry with Chicken was an exquisite delight of sweet curry with noodles and toppings as was the Smoked Chicken and Mango Vietnamese Roll with spicy lime dipping sauce. The Pot Sticker Dumplings, which were pan-fried and fi lled with chives, pork and served with spicy soya dipping sauce and the Garlic Prawns in Cream Sauce served with herb bread were also a welcome and pleasing medley of sensations. The pizza was the Prosciutto Crudo of tomato sauce, Mozzarella cheese and mushrooms and with shaved prosciutto and Rocket leaves.

A Western fare was the preference for the main course with the Rotisserie 1/2 Chicken coated with spicy MoMo sauce with chips and Rocket salad and the Wood Roasted Rosemary Lamb Rack with zuchini, eggplant ragout and roasted potatoes being the recommended selection. Once again, deliciously spiced and well-presented dishes continued the enjoyment of the meal.

Wines and desserts are true complements to a meal. The white Australian Long Flat, Semillion-Sauvignon Blanc, 2006 and the red Australian The Little Penguin Cabernet, 2005, which won the Best Buy Wine Spectator Award, were ideal ‘wines by the glass’ for the meal. And to top things off , an apple pie and the Mövenpick ice cream Maple Walnut, were ideal sweet treats.

For a fi rst-rate meal of some favourite International dishes and tantalizing foods from Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam and the ‘MoMo Regional Cuisine’ (delights from Thailand) try MoMo Café. Couples and families will be happy they did!
