Description
Named after Bangkok’s historic 18th-century Elephant Pier, the kitchen is led by Executive Chef Ekapol “Top” Aranyawikul. The menu highlights regional specialties and coastal flavors, from fried branzino in Southern coconut red curry to spicy Tom Yum fried rice loaded with mussels, giant prawn, and squid. Other staples include crispy pork belly stir-fried with holy basil from the chef's family recipe, rich Khao Soi with tender duck, creative Thai tea, and mango sticky rice finished with a little blue elephant.
