W by Wanlamun Thai Fusion Restaurant and Bakery Shop on BumRes.com
The W by Wanlamun – in Thai, wanlamun means subtle sweetness. Speaking of this name, I have heard it for about two years (during the time the business started). But, I had missed this place every time I had gone to Chiang Mai. On this trip to Chiang Mai of spring 2012, I had to go there. And W by Wanlamun was the eighth restaurant review of the trip, which was the last one of my short three-day trip in Chiang Mai.
By hearing just the name, many of you may think that it is a bakery shop or a sweet tooth café but it isn’t. The W by Wanlamun serves a full meal, Thai fusion style cuisine with the lovely plate decorations to please the young Thais and foreign visitors. A kind of culinary creation that you will find there is something like the Pasta with Thai flavors. The W by Wanlamun serves lunch and dinner but if you want to go there for the easy tea sipping, you can go all day. Details of the menu at W by Wanlamun, I have written and posted to the tab menu for your viewing already. Please suit yourself.
I didn’t order many dishes since I was with my mom on this trip. We ordered four dishes, which were all recommended by the server. I can guarantee you that food servers were so well trained; good manner, polite, and attentive, like a five star service. The gal had a great sale character like she was the owner or perhaps she could earn commission. She was cheering me to order this and that but she was that pushy at all; her enthusiasm impressed me greatly. Well, let’s talk about the food. First dish was the Pomelo Salad for 140 baht. A interest fruit salad with natural sweet and tangy flavors from the Pomelo; a good start to build the appetite. Despite the taste, its charm was the presentation, W by Wanlamun made it look really attractive, especially with the carved quail eggs.
Second dish was the one – Spaghetti in shrimp paste for 190
baht. It was super delicious, perhaps
one of the best I ever had, Italian with oriental style. The pasta noodles were served al dante with
perfect texture. Thick savory sauce
soaked the spaghetti to the word – Awesome!
I didn’t know what to say because my mouth was full with saucy
noodles. Grilled shrimps were great
together, its contrasting colors to the yellow spaghetti was like a piece of
art. Every bit of this dish was just
amazing. I highly recommend it – A Must
Have Dish!
Third dish was the Fried rice with deep-fried sundried beef accompanied by Thai papaya salad for 130 baht. Eating the rice by itself, you will enjoy this menu a certain way but to enjoy the rice with the papaya salad, the experience was one of a kind – the tastiness of the two were complimenting each other to an increased level of pleasure. How did they come together? I don’t know. I only know that the fried rice and the papaya salad were destined to FIN.
Lastly, the fourth dish – a yummy Thai menu, Hot and Spicy stir-fried
beef with cumin leaves for 175 baht.
This menu reminded me of the Pad Kra Pow but with a load more aromatic
herbs. It even tasted exactly like the
typical Pad Kra Pow. However the scent
of Thai herbs altered the experience to a more appetizing dish. I also enjoyed it very much.
After four dishes, my mom and I were already quite stuffed. We had to think twice before we finally ordered the cake as a dessert. I didn’t know what it was exactly. The slightly sweet cream squeezed on top posed elegantly and eased out the crispiness of the bakery as well as adding a texture to the cream while sensing its prominent role.
The wonderful Thai fusion meal presented by the W by Wanlamun was unique and definitely enjoyable. I would like to suggest this fine restaurant to everyone who is visiting Chiang Mai. I loved every aspect about this place; the food, the service, the atmosphere, and the price.
