CHECKED IN: SAMUI<br />
TASTED: PO LAD BEACH<br />
BISTRO AT TONGSAI BAY<br />
RESORT<br />
Blessed with its own private beach and<br />
blissful waterside location, the Tongsai<br />
Bay Resort also plays host to the Po Lad<br />
Beach Bistro. While the chic all-day<br />
dining spot lies at the heart of the resort,<br />
the doors are open to any who wish to<br />
explore the recently recreated menu.<br />
What lends to the bistro’s uniqueness,<br />
and is certainly intriguing to a growing<br />
number of diners, is the extensive and<br />
original vegetarian menu. Meat dishes<br />
are also available for those carnivores;<br />
however the plant-based creations are<br />
without a doubt some of the best to be<br />
found in Koh Samui.<br />
Fitting for an all-day bistro, a vast<br />
array of more than 60 menu options<br />
are offered up ranging from the freshbaked<br />
signature pizza sporting thinly<br />
sliced salmon with zingy rocket and<br />
mozzarella, onion-ring-topped wagyu<br />
beef burgers from the grill, to the rich<br />
and tangy seafood niçoise salad with<br />
homemade dressing.<br />
The collection of obligatory, yet<br />
carefully concocted <strong>Thai</strong> dishes have<br />
origins spanning the country. Try the<br />
crowd-pleasing sweet and savoury<br />
khao soi gai curry from Chiang Mai in<br />
the north, the pan-fried egg noodles of<br />
phad mee sapam thalay born in Phuket<br />
in the south, and the sweet and sour<br />
goodness of tom yum goong with its<br />
roots in central <strong>Thai</strong>land.<br />
Looking back to the vegetarian<br />
menu you will find dynamic creations<br />
Clockwise from Top<br />
Look out for specials<br />
like this spicy shrimp<br />
wrap - an ideal<br />
lunch option.<br />
Everyone loves<br />
a good tom yum<br />
goong, especially<br />
when it’s made with<br />
the freshest and<br />
most tender prawns.<br />
With a location<br />
like this, there’s<br />
no reason to rush<br />
through a meal at<br />
Po Lad.<br />
If you’ve never tried<br />
khao soi gai, do<br />
yourself a favour<br />
and discover your<br />
new favourite.<br />
like the roasted pumpkin and rocket<br />
salad sprinkled with fresh parmesan and<br />
feta. The pumpkin gnocchi which blends<br />
traditional tomato sauce and phanaeng<br />
curry is symbolic of the unique offerings.<br />
In addition to the plethora of<br />
omnivorous, vegetarian, and gluten-free<br />
offerings, Po Lad sources their organic<br />
“birds claw” rice locally, which is chosen<br />
for its high nutritional content and<br />
nutty flavour.<br />
Feeling inspired by your meal at<br />
Po Lad? Tongsai Bay Resort not only<br />
offers <strong>Thai</strong> cooking classes, but they<br />
will take you to their off-site organic<br />
garden where you personally harvest<br />
the ingredients for your meals.<br />
