Supatra River House

SETTING

Situated by the Chao Phraya River with views of the Grand Palace and Wat Arun, Supatra River House offers a picturesque dining experience. Diners can opt to eat al fresco or in airconditioned comfort in a traditional Thai house.

FOOD

The emphasis at Supatra is Thai and seafood and the scene is set with hors d’oeuvre Supatra River House, with deep-fried shrimp wrapped in rice noodle, tuna in crispy cup and vegetarian spring rolls. Traditional Thai salads and soups are all available but Supatra comes into its own with the selection of fish on offer. An absolute winner is steamed sea bass in soy or spicy lemon sauce, the freshness of the sea bass complemented by the delicate sauces. The house speciality of deep-fried garoupa with chilli sauce should not be missed. Spicy fried pla khang with kaffir lime leaves, sweet basil, young peppercorn and galangal is also memorable. Fans of hot soups and curries will not be disappointed, a stand-out item being pineapple curry with prawns or green mussels served in a pineapple shell. Deep-fried prawn tempura and mixed vegetable is perfectly executed, the quality of the ingredients justifying the simplicity of the treatment. A limited selection of desserts is offered for those of a sweet-tooth disposition.
