Dickson's Fooday Mouthpiece Review #230 - Chiang Mai, Thailand Edition
🌟Michelin Spotting🌟 +1

This time, Dickson visits a Michelin restaurant in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
It's a bit far from the city center, but it's quite a well-known establishment.

The main offerings focus on creative Thai cuisine.
Additionally, the whole space has its own unique characteristics, featuring strange bear figures everywhere!

Since the restaurant is located in a more remote area, I recommend that anyone planning to go make a reservation in advance and leave early.

This Michelin restaurant doesn’t follow a typical commercial model, but I think the overall food is even better!
Moreover, there are quite a number of distinctive dishes on the menu.

However, before ordering, you should be aware that the menu is really extensive.
Although it is categorized into various types, the number of dishes in each category is still quite overwhelming.

For instance, they have curry that is divided into many types, such as yellow curry, green curry, and soup curry, with each type further classified with different ingredients.
So just trying to place an order can be quite a struggle for those who are indecisive 🤣🤣🤣.

Of course, you can do some research online beforehand to see which dishes have received the best reviews.

I remember seeing that the so-called watermelon dish was quite famous from my online research.
So we definitely had to order it on that day to give it a try!

The decor in the restaurant is quite unique.
As mentioned earlier, there are many strange bear dolls outside, and of course, there are also plenty inside the restaurant.
The overall style doesn't resemble traditional Thai ambiance at all!

In terms of the overall taste of the food,
I think it was the best among the few Michelin restaurants I visited during my stay in Chiang Mai, Thailand!

Therefore, if friends happen to be in the vicinity of Chiang Mai,
I highly recommend trying this place!

⭐️ Food Review
👉 Signature Watermelon Dish
This dish truly is the star of the restaurant!
Using watermelon in cooking is quite special,
and this watermelon dish is not just a simple fruit.
As you can see in the picture, there’s quite a lot of powder sprinkled on the watermelon,
and this powder complements the sweetness of the watermelon, creating a wonderful contrast!

If you visit this restaurant,
I highly recommend ordering this dish!

👉 Moon Shrimp Cakes
We often eat Thai-style moon shrimp cakes in Taiwan,
but of course, we had to try the authentic version here in Thailand!
The way the cake is made is quite different from Taiwan.
Some moon shrimp cakes in Taiwan have a crispy skin.

Here, the texture is quite soft,
paired with some special sauce in the middle,
making it taste quite rich!

👉 Meat Platter
I'm not quite sure what the full name of this dish is,
but it mainly consists of various meats and some small cucumbers and peppers on the side,
paired with some special sauce.
You can mix everything together to eat or just eat the meat slices alone.
You can also wrap it in vegetables to make a meat wrap.

I personally highly recommend this because
it has a lot of versatility.
The meat alone is already very delicious.
It’s not overly cooked, which makes it more tender and bouncy!

I suggest people who come here definitely try it!

👉 Lemon Sauerkraut Fish
This dish is quite different from the sauerkraut fish in Taiwan or China.
It has more of a sour and spicy flavor on top,
but here, it leans more towards a sweet and sour lemon taste.
And with the lemon combined with the sauce,
it tastes quite refreshing and balances the heat of Thailand’s weather!

I think the food at this restaurant is overall very special.
Several dishes even give you a surprising feeling,
like the watermelon dish mentioned earlier.
Why isn’t there a similar dish like this in Taiwan?

A Michelin-level restaurant really has its strengths!
Many dishes are above average and have a personal touch.

Therefore, I think the presentation, flavor, and experience of the food here are really excellent!

⭐️ Atmosphere Review
Although the restaurant is somewhat off the beaten path on a country road,
there are quite a few parking spaces if you arrive by car.

As mentioned earlier, there’s a distinctive bear wandering around the entire restaurant,
and just in the parking lot, you can see a headless bear figurine! 🤣🤣
The space inside the restaurant is actually quite spacious.
The dining area has a fantastic atmosphere.
On that day, since we had a larger group,
we were arranged in a more private dining area.

Inside the private room, there are many display cases.
We faced a display case filled with various Apple products,
which were quite a complete collection.

In addition to various iPhone models,
there were also iPads and long-lost retro products!
It’s truly creative and thoughtful.

Moreover, the different private rooms feature varying displays.
I can only say this Michelin restaurant really offers a variety of unique experiences!

The dining environment is also of high quality,
with stylish tables and chairs in the private room.

It’s perfect whether it’s a date or a gathering of several people visiting Chiang Mai!

⭐️ Service Review
I recall that the service staff weren’t particularly notable
because there are many tourists in Chiang Mai.
Most of the menu items are available in Chinese,
so there’s not much need for introductions.

However, if you have other questions,
the staff is very eager and will respond to you in English!

⭐️ Price Review
Likewise, this Michelin restaurant is really not expensive.
In Taiwan, the price would be like a typical casual restaurant meal.
But here in Thailand, you can enjoy such a high-end Michelin experience,
both in terms of food and the restaurant's atmosphere, which are quite superb.

So when in Chiang Mai,
I feel you should take the time to try several Michelin restaurants!

⭐️ In conclusion
I believe this Michelin restaurant is a must-visit when in Chiang Mai.
Except for the inconvenient transportation,
the quality of dishes and overall atmosphere are quite excellent.

But remember that if you plan to come here, you definitely need to make a reservation in advance.
Additionally, since the cost of living here is relatively low,
you don’t need to worry too much about prices!

Eating at a Michelin-star restaurant in Thailand is just amazing~~

🤪 Dickson’s Mouthpiece Area 🤪
If we go to Chiang Mai with the ladies,
there are various ways to enjoy the area.
You can choose to focus on historical temples,
go on outdoor jungle adventures,
or, like me, indulge in food and leisure.

Each type of itinerary should be quite different.
If you're into food and leisure,
follow me to explore various quirky cafes and Michelin restaurants!

This option is naturally more comfortable and enjoyable,
because it’s so hot in Thailand this month!
When you arrive in the vacation paradise of Chiang Mai,
of course, you should get massages and then enjoy a big feast to end a happy day.

Of course, I won’t mention any dark itineraries here,
like buying trouble or partying at nightclubs in Thailand, etc. 😍😍😍😍

🤪 We can talk about these troubles again when fate allows it! 🤪
