Crispy Red Tilapia with Betel Leaves
Suan Bua, Centara Grand at Central Plaza Ladprao Bangkok
The traditional Thai dish of meang kum is a social culinary concept that involves filling betel leaves with a selection of condiments, to create delicious bite-sized parcels that have a delightful blend of flavours and textures.
This version features red tilapia, an exquisite freshwater fish which is deep-fried to give it a wonderfully crispy skin while leaving the meat soft and succulent, then accompanied with peanuts, roasted coconut, dried shrimp, lime, chili, ginger, shallots and a delicious dipping sauce.

Spicy Green Curry with Braised Kamphaeng Saen Beef at Ventisi, Centara Grand at CentralWorld
Thai green curry is one of the world’s most desired dishes. At Ventisi, the vibrant all-day restaurant at Centara Grand at CentralWorld, this colourful curry is given even greater depth by using locally-sourced beef shank from Kamphaeng Saen, in the lush countryside northwest of Bangkok, which is braised until it falls off the bone.
Blended with the exquisite Thai flavours of lemongrass, tamarind, turmeric, coconut and kaffir lime, this is a light yet wonderfully rich curry.
