RICE
T
he third day of this trip was started at Rice, a part of Baan Yin Dee Boutique Resort. The restaurant presents Thai interior design and a fusion of Thai and International food. We had an opportunity to talk to the chef about one of special recipes she created – Spicy Beef Salad. The food intentionally delivers authentic Thai flavor while guests can choose a level of spiciness. The meat is mostly imported from Australia and New Zealand.
Guests still have a variety of culinary options, ranging from Duck Breast with Tamarind Sauce and Beef Steak (served with salsa) to Pad Thai and Soft Crab (fried with garlic). The best time to come here is around 7 PM – 10.30 PM because a professional musician plays live piano music to completing your lovely, warm dinner.

RATRI ITALIAN BAR & GRILL
T
he first impression we got from here is the unique ceiling lanterns made of dark wood. The interior features warm color tone that contributes to a good appetite. There is also a second floor where you can have an absolutely private dinner or party with closed friends. Tonight the chef presented us with Baked Oyster, Cold Cuts Tenderloin with Mash Potato, and Chocolate Cake. Most of raw materials are truly imported from Italy in order to allow visitors to experience an authentic taste of Italian dining cuisine. You can just come up the hill to see a wonderful panorama of Phuket City. A professional bartender will give you a good suggestion of what to drink for your intimate evening. There are so many cocktails you should try, including Italian Mojito, Sunflower of Andaman and Minti Matini Cocktail. Address Patak Road, Karon Phone: +66 (0)76333538 www.ratrijazztaurant.com

TRISARA BAR
W
e experienced a very warm welcome from Trisara during our visit for its Sunday Jazz Brunch between 11.30 AM and 3.30 PM. The price is reasonable due to a high quality of fresh ingredients. While sitting at the beachfront bar, we also picked up a variety of tapas and orderd Tatar cuisine, including imported fresh seafood like lobsters and oysters, and basic Italian pasta at the live cooking stations. The perfect taste of imported white wines and champagnes was delivered besides the food. You might be jealous of us as here we could listen to the wonderful jazz band and went down to swim on this sunny day afterwards. At the end, you found that every element surrounded by Trisara Bar also encouraged us to have bon appetite, complemented with very attentive and excellent service of its every staff.
