桑通度假村

A 10-minute drive is all it takes to escape the city for heartening Italian food, surrounded by plenty of greenery. Despite its industrial design, it’s a casual setting with an expansive view of the garden. The pizza dough, gnocchi and fettucine are all homemade. The squid fettuccine has an enlivening ponzu dressing; and the baked snow fish in a buttery fish broth beats all expectations with large, slow-cooked pieces that are meltingly soft in a sweet, homemade broth.

Chum serves Northern Thai cuisine cooked from the recipes of the family's grandmother. The colourful restaurant is simply decorated with red and yellow walls and brightly coloured parasols of Northern Thai design hanging from the ceilings. The stir-fried pork and liver is well cooked, and packed with Thai herbs, wild pepper and coriander. The mixed Northern Thai starter uses a tasty young chili relish with the scent of green chili that isn’t too spicy.

This charming restaurant by the Ping River blends traditional and modern design, with warm wooden decor, brick walls and high ceilings. Woven crafts add a Northern Thai touch. Passionate about Western cuisine, the owner-chef fuses Thai ingredients with European techniques. Standouts include penne with Thai sour pork sausage in pesto and red curry with crispy duck confit and lychee. For an optimum experience, sit out on the riverside terrace and take in the view.

This popular open-air eatery serves well-sized northern Thai favourites at fair prices. Kang Liang, the peppery curry paste in spicy mixed vegetables goes well with the prawns’ natural sweetness; while the local fish marinated in herbs and spices is grilled in a bamboo tube until soft, with a smoky aroma. Do check the blackboard for specials of the day, which often focus on seasonal dishes.
