Wine Connection Patong

D

International Tel: 0 7651 0622

escribed as the “leading chain of wine shops and wine-themed restaurants in Southeast Asia�, Wine Connection now boasts more than twenty bistros.

There are no fewer than five in Phuket. Their runaway success? Testament to the vision of their French founder. His formula? Open an up-market wine retail outlet and combine it with a restaurant, so customers can take their purchase away, or even better, and at little extra cost, enjoy the bottle with a quality meal.

6

www.wheretoeat-phuket.com

Wine Connection in Patong enjoys a prime position, perched above the bustle of beachside Banana Walk. Eat inside in airconditioned bliss or outside – as we do – close to the action and the elements.

We start with Spanish style Gambas, plump prawns cooked in an aromatic garlic, paprika and olive oil sauce.

A Mediterranean classic that does not disappoint. Other starters include Nachos with beef sauce, tomato salsa, cheese and sour cream (a dish that looks divine), crispy Calamari or layered Eggplant. Platters offer hand-picked cheeses or cold cuts. A tasty Italian presence is ensured by six salads, seven pastas and eight pizzas. And not just your conventional offerings: you can explore a Smoked chili pasta or sample a Brie and Speck ham pizza.

While fish dishes includes sea bass and salmon, Wine Connection is justly celebrated for its beef: my partner has for years enthused about the Boeuf bourguignon. She cannot resist having it again, chunks of slow braised Australian beef in rich gravy with fettuccine pasta. Eaten to whoops of delight. I opt, more soberly, for the Oz Tenderloin, served with pepper sauce (my choice) and roasted vegetables.

Succulent and cooked to perfection.

And the wine? I almost forgot. A glass or two of a predictably splendid Negro Amaro Barrique. Most customers choose a bottle… And why not! The choice is impressively wide – from Italy, Spain, France, Chile, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Complemented by reasonable prices and friendly service. Some bistro…

osmo offers a unique gastronomic experience in a paradisal setting. The flagship restaurant of the iconic Nai Harn, it occupies one of Phuket’s most coveted locations, a promontory flanking Nai Harn Bay. Featuring grey furnishings and geometric white dÊcor, the dining area exudes space and airiness. Immediately below us, the sandy beach is framed by jagged rocks.

Executive Chef Mark Jones carefully explains the new menu.

Recently appointed and with an impressive CV in high-end catering, he is rightly enthusiastic about a cuisine which

8

SEE PROFILE PAGE 36

reflects his passion both for global travel and culinary innovation. We begin in Northern Japan. Mark’s choice of appetiser is pan-fried Hokkaido scallops with apple ginger, and crispy coppa ham. The juicy shellfish are lightly seared, their succulence complemented by a delicate echo of apple. The main course, again ocean inspired, accentuates the Andaman Sea: moist White snapper steak, and matching croquette.

Other chef’s recommendations reveal a capacity for adventurous combinations. Marinated raw sea bass comes with pomelo, coriander, chili lemon, ginger and lotus root; Seared yellow fin tuna with greens, avocado, watermelon and ponzu citrus dressing. A Mixed grill of Andaman seafood includes the local catch of the day. Char-grilled cauliflower provides an inventive vegetarian option. For carnivores, Australian rib-eye steak with rissole potatoes and oyster mushrooms, rocket, asparagus, garlic and Béarnaise sauce admirably fits the bill. There are artisanal ice creams inspired by local fruits, and crisp organic salads.

The attention to detail is exceptional. Nothing is too much trouble. Every dish is accompanied by exquisitely chosen vegetables and herbs with matching sauces BOOK NOW and dips. Ingredients are ultra-fresh. Most of ONLINE the seafood is purchased twice daily from Rawai fish market, and there is a stress on local, organic produce. The wide-ranging meats are created in the resort’s own charcuterie, even down to regional sausages.

he Nai Harn has undergone many transformations over the years. Nowadays, Rock Salt, a pebble’s throw from the waves lapping Nai Harn Bay, is perfect for a pre-prandial cocktail. Relax to funky music, admire the roseate sunset, and peruse the list of ‘Tribute and Signature Cocktails’ created by Salim Khoury. Awarded the accolade of UK ‘Bartender of the Year’ in 1992, and famous for his stewardship of the London Savoy’s American Bar, he has long been associated with The Nai Harn.

Little wonder the cocktails are so memorable. My partner has a Nai Harn Sunset, a deep pink confection made with Balls gin, fresh water melon, basil, lime and Prosecco. Mine, a Nai Harn Cooler, is a luscious offering: Kristall gin combined with zesty orange marmalade and the juice of lime, orange and pineapple. Also on the list are: Rumble, Blushing Monarch – featuring gin and Campari and, of course, Lady Nai Harn.

For a main course, a must-try is the ‘piece de resistance’, the Andaman Platter, a comprehensive sea-food offering for two, which pays homage to the very essence of Phuket’s marine heritage. Sea shrimps, tiger prawns, Fine de Claire oysters, steamed Rawai clams in chili, ginger, coriander and coconut milk, served with all the trimmings. Less demanding on pocket and palate, sample Mediterranean inspired flavours: Souvlaki – barbequed pork kebabs with grilled peppers – or the Italian-inspired Blue Mushroom Pizza.

Dessert was a Coconut Pannacotta (with fruit salad and homemade passion fruit ice cream) that looked good and tasted divine. My partner’s reluctance gave way and an order for one became two. It was just too hard to resist.

To top it all, there’s a DJ playing every Friday from 4 pm -10 pm. Daily Happy Hour ‘Buy 1 Get 1 Free’ from 5.30 - 6.30 pm.

Rock Salt, despite its alfresco, dramatic beach setting, is cosy and intimate. The funky music, alcoves and different levels add to its charm.

Comfortable sofas, attentive but unfussy service and valet parking, make the whole experience a relaxed, and pleasurable one.

The Boathouse

Thai Steaks & Grills Tel: 0 7633 0015-7

Restaurant he Boathouse is a legendary boutique hotel and restaurant, one of the first in Phuket and now the beneficiary of a most imaginative refurbishment. Sip your cocktail in a bar area with blue and white nautical motifs, then dine al fresco amid venerable trees and wooden decking in an atmosphere of rustic grace and charm. Beyond is the sea, now silvered by moonlight, with black silhouettes of late bathers, and revellers launching illuminated lanterns into the tropic night. Magical.

There is, of course, an air-conditioned option, still with the sea view.

We begin with drinks – a classy Oz chardonnay available by the glass – then adjourn to the spacious restaurant where the cool sounds from a trio playing jazz standards, filter through. From a selection of 14 starters, all living up to their stated claim to be “fresh and delicate”, I opt for the King Prawn Salad, a crunchy, spicy amalgam of sliced baby eggplant, lemongrass, lime, mint and chili paste, the perfect green complement to massive grilled prawns. My partner’s seared marinated scallops, on a bed of asparagus and fresh leaves, are succulent and enhanced by an intense chili-garlic sauce.

The ‘new’ Boathouse is already celebrated for two iconic dishes: the slow-cooked Duck Confit in “tangy” tamarind sauce and the Lamb Shank Massaman. The restaurant’s most popular offering, this southern Thai curry featuring lamb on the bone is served in a delectable and aromatic sauce with sweet potatoes. Massaman like you have never experienced it. Sensational. The Gaeng Kathi Neua Poo, yellow crab meat curry in coconut milk with betel leaves, is densely flavoured and creamy. Also recommended are Grouper Fillet, Razor Clams with Cashews and Okra, and Smoked Roasted Pork Neck in Green Banana Curry.

BOOK NOW The wine list is legendary. Everything up ONLINE to Chateau Petrus. I settle for an Australian Shiraz, the perfect partner for a sumptuous repast. The Boathouse has everything: history, attentive service, a unique setting, a romantic ambience and above all, ambrosial food. Do go… You will not be disappointed.

a Khai nestles alongside renowned Tri Trang beach.

We descend from the road above to set foot in what feels like an enchanting film-set: wooden decking walkways lit by traditional lanterns, that lead past lily ponds and airy, rustic pavilions ready to welcome diners. Beyond, ancient trees, a verdant screen of sea-lettuce, and the lights of Kamala winking across the deep sweep of Patong Bay. We dine, literally, at the ocean’s edge.

The menu features traditional south Thai cuisine – both chefs, Uncle Nun and Aunt Yai, honed their considerable culinary skills for thirty years. Unsurprisingly, their menu – a roll-call of authentic Thai classics – features an extraordinary range of dishes, all prepared from superfine ingredients.

Home-grown herbs complement “catch of the day” seafood harvested by local fishermen. Little wonder that the Thai name means “fishing net”.

Warned by our attentive waiter that the portions are uber-generous, we begin with a shared gaeng poo, Nun’s “favourite” yellow curry with a creamy, tangy sauce and huge chunks of succulent crab. Unbeatable. For our main course, we order from the “The Pond”: steamed grouper served with a delectable chili and lime dressing. The flesh is firm and redolent of the sea, a reminder that such authentic fish is becoming more difficult to source. We conclude with a classic mango and coconut milk rice, surmounted by mango ice cream.

Everything is perfect, but the menu is vast and we have only scratched the ‘à la carte’ surface. The attention to detail at Ta Khai is breathtaking: for example, “bite-sized dishes” range from miang kham with no fewer than six herbs, to buea tod with native water grass and prawns. “Wok-fried” fish offers a choice of seven different sauces. Lavish set menus are keenly priced.

Inventive cocktails feature local produce – galangal, basil, papaya – re-emphasising the Thai experience. So too the wine list. It seems only appropriate to sample a Thai wine, a Chateau de Loei Chenin Blanc, so crisp and aromatic, I opt for a second glass.

E

stablished 24 years ago, Banyan Tree was then the only resort on Bang Tao Beach. Now joined by many others, it remains an international symbol of luxury living. The refurbished The Watercourt is part of its ceaseless striving for excellence. Service, ambience and food are impeccable.

The menu is comprehensive, while the wine list (equally wide-ranging) boasts, for instance, more than 50 reds, including classics such as Chateau Latour. As an aperitif, I choose a white Thai wine, a Gran Monte sauvignon blanc, which is pale and citrusy with the food, a full-bodied Delicato cabernet sauvignon from California.

The open kitchen is next to a welcoming dining area with mirrored columns and picture windows. The whole culinary process can be observed on a huge television screen.

The emphasis is on widely sourced fish and seafood. An international cuisine, with some genuflections to Europe; Fruits of the Sea features oysters from France, California and Ireland. My friend chooses Salade Niçoise, a delicious confection with seared yellow fin tuna, potatoes, quails eggs, lettuce and cherry tomatoes. The dressing is a tangy red berry vinaigrette. Keeping to the Spanish theme, my selection from Starter Plates (six of them seafood specials, including Prawns Pil Pil and Seafood Croquettes with Aioli) is Mallorca Seafood Zarzuela, a thick stew served with prawns, snapper, mussels, squid and a hint of saffron. The zesty, reduced broth is poured from a jug.

For main course, my partner selects Linguine Vongole, pasta and clams with a splash of white wine and tomatoes. Rich and satisfying. I try the Seafood Market Selection, comprising seven different fish: cod, Dover sole, hake, John Dory, salmon, tuna and white snapper. Guests can choose both the cooking method and the side order. My hake, a huge chunk of fish, separates into flakes of succulent white flesh and is ideally complemented by buttery VISIT US mashed potato, asparagus and broccoli. To ONLINE finish, a perfect Crème Brûlée.

Oh, and by the way, The Watercourt offers one of the island’s best Sunday Seafood brunch experiences. Something worthy to try…
