As we were staying at the Banyan Tree, it only made sense that one of our meals were allocated to their Thai restaurant Saffron. They had two menus available that evening, a special menu for their hotpot and their normal a la carte menu. Not really in the mood for hotpot that night (now finished), we decided to stick to a la carte.Amuse Bouche to start, pleasantly surprised they offered this in a Thai restaurant.Fried rice cracker on top of a prawn cracker with an assortment of dips.

Amuse Bouche to start, pleasantly surprised they offered this in a Thai restaurant.
Fried rice cracker on top of a prawn cracker with an assortment of dips. Green was a spicy eggplant, red was minced pork and the creamy looking one was made with coconut milk. Tasted like a Chinese version of 'wor bar'.
I love grilled pork neck and this version was a little more special. Charred and then placed on a smoker so when you eat the pork the smoky flavour is intensified. The sticky, sour sauce worked in perfect harmony.
Green papaya salad. Crunchy strips of julienned carrots and green papaya tossed in a sweet and sour dressing. A little spicy kick in the aftertaste awakes the palate.
Tom yum goong. Loved the spicy, sour flavours with a generous serve of four big, fresh prawns. It would have tasted even better if the temperature had been hotter as when it reached us it was already lukewarm.
Saffron is open all day for lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and during the morning hotel guests have their buffet breakfast here.
