If you are looking for Thai 🇹🇭 fine-dining, here is your best choice. The only Michelin-starred🌟Thai restaurant in Hong Kong. I had it during the dinner ban but their lunch set menu is just superb enough to fix my Thai food crave.“𝕄𝕒 ℍ𝕠𝕣”This amuse bouche is called “Ma Hor” and probably the most signature dish that Chef brought from Nahm (a familiar name of the Asia’s Best 50).

This amuse bouche is called “Ma Hor” and probably the most signature dish that Chef brought from Nahm (a familiar name of the Asia’s Best 50). The chunk of pineapple 🍍is topped with simmered chicken, shallots and peanuts in palm sugar🌴 It is a perfect triangle of sweetness, spice and savoury that showcases Chef’s style and guarantees you a perfect meal ahead.

The meat is incredibly succulent and tender with a hint of spice. Dipping the chicken to the fish sauce would give you a completely different taste and I cannot tell which style I love better!

The another appetiser is beyond imagination: quail egg with Chiang Mai chilli relish🌶 on pig scratching (豬皮). The seasoning and the texture are amazing. If you ever throw a party, this will be the first canapé being cleared.
The mains in Aaharn go for the “kub khao” style meaning “served with rice” 🍚to keep the traditional Thai culture and to make you feel home. They would also serve you a mushroom soup 🍄which is like a vegan version of “tom yum soup” - clear but full of flavours.

The first main is a warm Thai salad🥗which is my favourite dish here. I guess to many Hong Kong people, we put an equal between Thai salad and papaya salad. But this is actually wrong. Thai salad features mainly cooked foods and usually serves as a main with rice🍚instead of appetizer.
As you can see a tower of salad, there are few prawns buried below. They are cooked medium to keeps its sweetness to balance with the herbs. The cowslip pea flower is absolutely delightful. I didn’t have much experience with this vege but its texture is perfect💯 Chewy and crunchy. And its special shape holds loads of sauce that makes it perfect as a salad green💚
If you haven’t tried a more traditional and authentic Thai salad, this is probably your best choice given travel is banned right now. And I highly recommend you to give it a try when you visit👍🏼 Btw, the stairway to the restaurant is so instagramable and like an exotic dimension that transport you to Bangkok in 5 second✈️

The is crispy perch with tamarind, chilli and holy basil. I love the aroma that holy basil gives a lot. The sauce is sweeter than I imagined but this is just alright as the other dishes fixed my chilli craving🥵in a very large extent😂

The next one is Jungle curry of chicken🐔with green peppercorn. I love this this style a lot. The main characteristic of jungle curry (kaeng pa) is its focus on natural ingredients available in the woods and this is why it does not contain coconut milk 🥥which is artificial indeed. Chef uses lots of Thai herbs that I can’t even name and makes the taste ultra unique.
Btw for my first bite, I accidentally ate two peppercorns as I thought those were green peas... then a bottle of water was chugged☠️☠️☠️☠️
How can a meal called perfect before you have dessert? Aaharn offers super high quality desserts to conclude my meal in a high note. Just look🥺 at the plate and the presentation. It immediately pleases you without the need of tasting🥰

The house-made pandan noodle and black sticky rice in smoked coconut milk 🥥and shaved ice 🧊is the best Thai dessert I ever had🥇The hint of smoke is just on point to offer you an unique experience. The pandan noodle, more like rice, is very aromatic and together with some black sticky rice, the chewiness is 💯 If you ever have the chance to visit Aaharn, promote me you would order this no matter what.

The another one is a typical Thai dessert. Of course, a Michelin chef🎖would not leave it without a surprise. They careful source the best mango from Thailand called “Nam Dok Mai”🥭to make this dessert. And they add some fried rice for extra crunchiness. A remarkable traditional dessert enhancement.
