Visiting NAPHA at Dusit Central Park with Family
During our recent trip to Bangkok, we stayed at the Dusit Thani Bangkok. I had heard many positive things about NAPHA, so we decided to visit the branch located at Central Park G Floor. Since it is directly connected to the hotel, it was incredibly convenient for us to travel with our child and explore the shopping mall afterward.
Booking Strategy: Using Hungry Hub
To make our dining experience more cost-effective, we used the Hungry Hub platform to book a 6-menu package. Our selection included 1 item from Group B, 2 from Group C, and 3 from Group D. Booking through Hungry Hub is estimated to be about 20-30% cheaper than ordering a la carte, and it allowed us to enjoy a variety of dishes together rather than just ordering individual plates.
Menu Highlights
Our 6-course selection provided a great balance for our family:
- Marinated Picanha Steak with Jaew Sauce: The steak was familiar and easy for our child to enjoy, while the Jaew sauce added a nice local touch for us.
- Fried Sea Bass with Garlic: This was a standout dish. The fish was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a mild flavor that our child enjoyed.
- Pork Neck Steak with Jaew Sauce: Another meat dish that was very approachable, especially when paired with the sauce.
- Stir Fried Flat Noodles with Mixed Mushrooms: We chose this to add a noodle dish to our meal; it was light and not overly seasoned.
- Stir Fried Baby Bok Choi with Shrimp: This provided a fresh, crunchy contrast to the heavier meat and fish dishes.
- Thai Papaya Salad with Edamame: A unique twist on the classic Som Tum. The addition of edamame was interesting, and it served as a refreshing palate cleanser.
Family Dining Experience
NAPHA offers a sophisticated take on Thai cuisine, but it remains very accessible for families. While some Thai dishes can be spicy or heavy on aromatics, the menu includes plenty of options like steaks and fried fish that are perfect for sharing with children. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable, making it a great spot for a family meal.
Conclusion
We were very satisfied with our visit to NAPHA. The combination of high-quality food, the convenience of its location for Dusit Thani guests, and the value provided by the Hungry Hub package made it a highlight of our trip. If you are staying in the area, it is a dining option worth considering for a stress-free and enjoyable meal.
