Three of Macau's best Thai restaurants
In a city packed with Thai restaurants, a handful of chefs stand out with traditional dishes, imported ingredients and home-style cooking
While not quite as ubiquitous as the casinos, there is no shortage of options when it comes to Thai restaurants in Macau. The problem is narrowing the choices down to just one.
A variation on traditional types of cuisine is common when the food is not local to the area. So a Thai establishment here might really be offering Macau-style Thai food that has been modified to better suit local tastes.
However, with Macau’s growing reputation as a world-class culinary destination, you can be sure to find something truly authentic too.
One restaurant that prides itself on offering authentic Thai cuisine is NAAM. A recent winner of the Thai Select Certificate - an award given as a seal of approval to providers of authentic Thai cuisine in Hong Kong and Macau - the eatery is located amid the Grand Lapa hotel’s swimming pool and tropical gardens.
The executive chef, Pairoj Kaoropwongchai, says: “I select the best ingredients, and most of the ingredients I import from Thailand. I make sure that NAAM continues to offer authentic Thai cuisine.”
