Frommer's Review

The theatrical decor reflects the name: Burlap spice sacks, ceramic pots, and glass jars set in dark-wood cabinets around the dining area playfully re-create the mercantile feel of a traditional Thai shop house. The food is artfully presented, authentically spiced, and extraordinarily delicious, with featured regional specialties for a great way to sample dishes from places you may or may not be traveling to in the kingdom. House specialties include a tasty Miengkham appetizer of coconut, dried shrimp, nuts, and chilis that you assemble yourself, rolling ingredients in a leaf for a tasty little treat. For entrees, try the poo nim phad prig (soft-shell crab deep-fried with chili and peppercorn) or siew ngap (red curry with roasted duck in coconut milk). The menu's "chili rating" guarantees that spices are tempered to your palate. Sunday brunches here and at the Four Seasons' other fine dining outlets are quite popular.
