We
are
glad
we
got
a
chance
to
dine
at
Takieng
Thai
Restaurant,
the
multi-award
Thai
winning
restaurant.
The
vibe
of
the
55
seater
restaurant
was
formal
yet
so
refreshing.
Calming
colour
scheme
with
beautiful
and
woody
interiors
and
decor
made
it
delightful.
One
cannot
miss
the
special
lampshades
made
in
cane,
they
looked
so
cute.
Takieng
means
'lantern'
in
Thai,
referring
to
the
local
fishermen’s
daily
routine
of
taking
the
longtail
boat
with
their
fishing
nets
and
lanterns
to
catch
fish
at
night
to
avoid
the
heat
from
the
day’s
sun.
The
restaurant
is
known
to
serve
classic
Thai
and
Phuket's
favourite
dishes
and
now
our
favourite
dishes
too.
Each
dish
at
Takieng
is
crafted
to
tribute
the
authenticity
of
Thai
flavours
using
the
finest
ingredients
from
both
the
sea
and
farm.
We
had
a
variety
of
dishes
at
the
fine
dining
restaurant
but
our
eternal
favourite
is
Vegetarian
Por
Pia
Sod.
The
rice
paper
rolls
with
fresh
vegetable
and
Thai
herbs
felt
as
if
we
were
eating
Salad
rolls…so
so
good!
The
other
dishes
we
tried
include
Vegetarian
Phad
Thai.
One
cannot
miss
Phad
Thai
while
in
Thailand
and
when
we
are
dining
at
the
best
restaurant
in
Thailand,
we
had
to
obviously
have
it.
It
was
yum
yum
yum!
Next
was
Vegetarian
Khao
Phad
Pak.
Served
with
veggies
and
salad,
it
was
delectable.
Gai
Phad
Med
Mamuang
which
was
Wok
fried
chicken
with
cashew
nuts
and
oyster
sauce
was
delicious
too.
We
had
such
a
great
time
dining
here.
The
colourful
mocktails
were
a
refresher
and
made
our
dinner
even
yummier.
Oh!
Did
we
miss
telling
you
about
Khao
Niew
Mamuang
(Mango
sticky
rice
with
coconut
ice
cream)
which
was
so
wonderful.
Its
again
a
Thailand
special
dish
and
having
it
at
a
fine
dine
makes
it
even
merrier.
We
also
tried
Kluay
Chuam
(Poached
banana
in
sugar
syrup
and
coconut
ice
cream)…
just
so
delicious.
We
could
not
leave
without
a
seasonal
fruit
platter.
There
is
something
special
about
fruits
in
Thailand.
So
flavourful,
juicy
and
nice.
Takieng
is
the
place
to
go
to
experience
traditional
Thai
dishes
and
flavours
prepared
with
locally
sourced
ingredients,
some
of
which
are
hyper-locally
sourced,
such
as
mole
crabs
and
Lin
Harn
leaves
that
can
be
found
exclusively
on
Mai
Khao
beach.
Takieng
does
make
Thailand
yummier
with
Chef
Tanasub
Trisub
(Tham)
amazing
dishes.
You
can
choose
to
sit
between
semi-indoor
+
outdoor
patio
in
the
55
seater
Beachfront
restaurant.
It
is
also
guaranteed
by
the
2022
Top
25
Restaurants
in
Phuket
Award
(rank
#12).
The
restaurant
overlooks
the
resort
swimming
pool
and
the
ocean,
with
an
epic
sunset
view
over
Mai
Khao
beach.
