Benjarong

You’ll want to get dressed up for this elegant dining room, named for the exquisite five-color pottery once reserved exclusively for the royal family. Benjarong’s fine Thai cuisine focuses on the five basic flavors of Thai cooking (salty, bitter, hot, sweet, and sour) in traditional “royal” dishes. While their a la carte menu is extensive, the most popular dishes are the sweet red curry crab claws and the exotic grilled fish with black beans in banana leaves. The illustrated menu will help you navigate your way through the choices and whet your appetite. For after-dinner treats, the kong wan is an ornate selection of typical Thai desserts — distinctive, light, and not too sweet.
