The restaurant, The Sala Phuket, Mai Khao, Phuket Thailand

It's been 2 years I haven't been back to this place. I do miss the restaurant of this place. Thanks to Pixmation for the driving, we came to this place again at a peaceful evening. The design of this place is quite controversial. Some may like it a lot but some may find it too hip. Or if some may not like dim places, definitely this is not a pleasant place.
1. the lobby area at night and this photo was taken by Pixmation and he did hold his camera quite steady for this shot. 2. the walk way to the beach/restaurant. 3. See how Pixmation carries 1 DSLR camera and a medium format Mamiya camera. This is the walkway in the spa. 4. In order to attract more tourists, here came some classic Thai dance. I somehow miss the Bossa Nova music they used to play at night time. The rest are the Thai dinner set. Fortunately the food is still maintained at a professional standard and it's in a very big portion. Hope I can try their breakfast soon.

wow it has everything in a TH meal - a Thai salad, a stir-fried, a deep-fried, a steam dish, a curry, and a dessert

the fish curry souffle (hor-mok) looks nice

how much is each set, can around THB 1,000 settle?

Mickey, you are very good at guessing the price. It's THB2,200 for 2, i.e. 1,100 for 1. Need to mention that they put some lobster, scallop and big prawn in all these dishes. Yes, the fish curry souffle is very good though it's quite hot and spicy. Very smooth and tender. My friends like it a lot and I explained to them it's a steamed fish/egg patty. Thanks for pointing it to souffle which is a more proper term. :) BTW, the deep fried cat fish (on the right of the 2nd photo of the food series part is very nice, and there is a bed of green mango salad. Then on the 7th photo, the soft shell crab is very fresh with a mix of tamarind zesty sauce.

1100 Baht each is worth it for this feast.
Soft shell crab is expensive dish too; also my favorite.

As when we were thinking what to get, and this sparkling price for a set got us make the decision. :)
