Craving an unforgettable journey into the heart of Southern Thai cuisine? Cast your net towards Ta Khai Restaurant, the flagship dining experience at Rosewood Phuket, where “fishing net” (the meaning of Ta Khai) translates into an exquisite catch of authentic flavors and seaside ambiance.
Nestled towards the serene end of Tri Trang Beach in southern Patong, Ta Khai offers an escape within an escape. Accessible via a dedicated entrance and private parking lot just off the main road, you step into a world defined by nature. Lush tropical vegetation envelops the space, creating an atmosphere that’s effortlessly elegant and deeply connected to Phuket’s natural beauty.
The Heart of the Experience: Freshness & Tradition
The soul of Ta Khai lies in its commitment to freshness and heritage:
- The Fresh Catch Pond: True to its name, greet your dinner at the entrance! Choose your preferred live seafood straight from the pond – lobster, crab, fish, or prawns – and the skilled chefs at the open kitchen will prepare it precisely to your liking.
- Culinary Heritage: Behind the vibrant menu are the legendary Chefs Uncle Nun and Aunt Yai. Their deep knowledge of time-honored Southern Thai recipes and passion for aromatic, bold flavors infuses every dish. Watching them work their magic from the open kitchen or the nearby bar counter adds a captivating layer to the dining theatre.
A Symphony of Southern Thai Flavors
Ta Khai’s menu is a love letter to Southern Thailand. While the à la carte offers well-crafted breadth, the tasting menus (starting at THB 1,820++ per person) are highly recommended to truly immerse yourself in the region’s complex flavor profile. Standout dishes that captivated our team include:
- Moo Hong: Sublime soy-braised pork belly, rich with black pepper and garlic – a melt-in-your-mouth contender for dish of the night.
- Massaman Curry: Aromatic and deeply satisfying, featuring tender beef cheeks, potatoes, onions, peanuts, and cumin.
- Hor Mok Yang Pla Kapong: Sensational grilled marinated seabass, infused with fragrant Thai herbs and steamed in banana leaves.
- Crab Curry with Betel Leaves: A unique and flavorful celebration of fresh crab, elevated by the distinctive note of betel leaves.
