Saku 精品民宿

Tucked away in the creative hub of Lhong Him Kaw in San Khlang, Meena is a rustic countryside retreat just outside Chiang Mai. The restaurant is best known for its bright five-coloured rice, served with home-style Thai and Northern Thai dishes, including unique creations such as pork ribs with longan curry – a spicy, rich and subtly sweet dish. The open-air setting surrounded by greenery is conducive to slow, relaxed dining.

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.

A cosy spot in a charming old wooden house with a warm, down-to-earth feel; clay pots, textured walls and rustic furnishings lend regional charm. The unfussy vibe suits the menu of Thai dishes with a few Northern touches. The stir-fried and deep-fried dishes stand out, especially the addictive fried tiny shrimp with chilli and salt – light, crisp and well-seasoned. With quality ingredients and shareable portions, it is ideal for a laid-back meal.
