Fine Cantonese dining in Bangkok comes most stylishly at Mei Jiang, a tranquil and elegant restaurant with a resident Chinese chef who has devised banquets for royalty and heads of state. The interiors of Mei Jiang are reminiscent of an exquisite Chinese teak box. Sliding lattice panels on the windows open to reveal a tranquil pool, a surprise element reflecting the strong role of water in Thai culture. The walls are paneled in rich teak wood and most of the furniture is also teak with Thai silk upholstery. Grand chandeliers provide the lighting. A pool and landscaped garden are on view outside. Specialties include the Hot and Sour Soup, Duck Smoked with Tea, and the Grouper with Soy Sauce. If you like to sip wine with your meal, there is a long list to choose from. Colors emphasize organic, earth tones, with blues and greens transposing the lush landscape and surrounding waters that can be viewed from the restaurant. An adjacent area may be converted into five private dining rooms. Mei Jiang is located on the ground floor. Mei Jiang is ideal for anyone who enjoys Cantonese cuisine with an innovative twist in light contemporary setting. A part of the new generation of Chinese restaurants in Bangkok, it is fresh, youthful and exciting.
