Bangkok, Thailand, April 14, 2023 / TRAVELINDEX / The Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen's Park and Asset World Corp Public Company Limited (AWC) have announced the opening of The Siam Tea Room, a unique new restaurant, bakery and café at Asiatique The Riverfront, which will showcase Thailand's rich culinary traditions in a vibrant waterfront setting, right next to Bangkok's legendary Chao Phraya River.

Inspired by the country's cultural heritage, the Siam Tea Room is housed in an elegant two-story wooden building with indoor and outdoor seating areas, a banquet hall, a private dining room, and river views. In this atmospheric setting, talented Thai chefs—under the direction of Chef Aunkool "Aony" Poolpipat—create traditional Thai dishes using recipes passed down from Chef Aony's grandmother.

Using fresh, regional, and seasonal ingredients, this delectable menu takes guests on a gastronomic journey through history to "Old Siam." Guests can discover specialties such as tangy orange salad with crispy fried gourami and sweet pork; grilled free-range pork ribs marinated overnight in tamarind sauce and served with toasted rice, fried chilies, and kaffir lime leaves; and crab curry with betel leaves, the house recipe featuring the finest local crab in a spicy, homemade yellow curry sauce, served with rice noodles.

These delicious dishes are complemented by a selection of sweet treats, including Thailand's national dessert, Mango Sticky Rice. This is made with large, ripe, locally grown mangoes, high-quality sticky rice, and sweet, fragrant coconut milk. True to the Siam Tea Room concept, the Thai restaurant is operated alongside a cozy café and a bakery offering freshly baked bread, pastries, and other delicacies daily, as well as premium teas and coffees, including varieties from the hills of northern Thailand.

This new restaurant is the third location of the Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen's Park and AWC at Asiatique The Riverfront, the riverfront shopping and lifestyle center. It joins Sirimahannop, the converted tall ship that sailed between Thailand and the world in the early 20th century, and The Crystal Grill House, a glamorous steak and seafood restaurant that evokes the spirit of a captivating era.

The new Siam Tea Room is easily accessible by road and water, including a shuttle boat from the pier next to the Saphan Taksin BTS Skytrain station. The Siam Tea Room is open daily from 10:00 AM to midnight (orders accepted until 10:00 PM). Reservations are recommended.
