Phuket Restaurant Directory, Dining and After Dinner Entertainment Guide

‘Modern Living Modern Eating’ is a slogan and concept that becomes an abbreviated version of a restaurant that embraces the notion of quality cuisine using the freshest of ingredients, set in a modern contemporary environment.

Comfortable couches, tables and chairs amid soft lighting set the scene for a relaxing meal at the chic MoMo restaurants at Courtyard by Marriott at Kamala Beach, MoMo Courtyard by Marriott at Surin Beach and the air conditioned restaurant in the Courtyard by Marriott at Patong Beach. All three restaurants feature an open kitchen where the curious can see the preparation of international and Asian dishes.

An ensemble of entrées that revealed not only the taste and texture of the food but also the presentation were suggested. Phad Thai Goong, or Fried Noodles with prawns, is a well-known and popular food amongst both Thais and foreigners. At the Courtyard by Marriott at Surin Beach, the chef prepares the dish with a twist, cooking it not with the prawns in it as is traditionally prepared but with the prawns grilled on a skewer on the side.

Western fare was the preference for the main course with the Roasted Half Chicken coated with spicy MoMo sauce with chips and Rocket salad and the Andaman Pizza with tomato sauce, Mozzarella cheese, pineapple and capsicum. Once again, deliciously spiced and well-presented dishes added to the enjoyment of the meal.

Wines and desserts were true complements to this meal. The Australian Little Yering Chardonnay, 2008 and the 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 first-rate meal with an ideal mix of international dishes and tantalizing local fare, try MoMo Café in the three Courtyard by Marriott resorts in Phuket. Couples and families will be happy they did.
