Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park

What is it? Siam Tea Room has assembled a recreated royal spread of more than 20 side dishes. Glazed radish stir-fried to a lacquered sheen, luk kapi seasoned with shrimp paste pounded with wild ginger and palm sugar, stuffed shallots in their paper-thin egg batter casing, caramelised yison fish that practically dissolves on contact. Why we love it: The rice here comes as a choice: white Surin jasmine or butterfly-pea-tinted blue rice – the latter producing a deep cobalt colour, very visually arresting. The water, fragrant and cold, carries the weight of the composition.  Time Out tip: Marriott Bonvoy and Club Marriott members get a discount – worth logging in before you book. If you want the same spread with a river view, the Asiatique branch seats 270 and runs until midnight – a different mood entirely from the Sukhumvit original. Siam Tea Room. Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen's Park, Sukhumvit 22 (also at Asiatique The Riverfront). 11am-5pm daily until May 31.
