Mei Jiang Address: The Peninsula Bangkok 333 Charoen Nakorn Road, Klongsan Bangkok 10600
Tel: 0-2861-2888
Teak wood panels and furniture, Thai silk decorations and seductive lighting give Mei Jiang a rich ambience and create an overall impression of class. When a restaurant’s décor sets such high standards there is always a chance the food won’t quite meet expectations. However, at Mei Jiang this is not the case. A complete menu of traditional dishes is complemented by a very comprehensive wine list. This is a great restaurant and well worth a visit. Like other Chinese restaurants attached to hotels, a meal here is a little more expensive than average.

Tel: 0-2254-1234 Ext 3070

The food is cooked by an expatriate Hong Kong chef and the menu includes dishes that represent the new directions Chinese food is taking at the moment. However, it also includes the traditional dishes regular customers to a Chinese restaurant might expect.
