Modern Thai dishes surprise curry lovers at Aaharn

Located in the two-storey Armoury Building in Tai Kwun, there is a bar on the ground floor and fine Thai cuisine upstairs, which David Thompson is famous for. The dimly lit colonial-style dining room has high ceilings with colourful modern artworks illuminated by spotlights. There is plenty of natural wood, from the floorboards and beams to the tables. A balcony overlooks the former parade ground. For dinner, there is à la carte or a set menu with dishes such as yellow red snapper curry with green papaya, Chiang Mai pork and tomato relish served with crispy pork crackling, and vegan options such as coconut wafers with five-spice bean curd, bean sprouts and shallots. We recommend wine pairing.
