Dusit Thani Manila’s Benjarong proudly introduces the 5th edition of its “Experience Menu,” unveiling a new chapter in Thai cuisine — one that reimagines heritage through evolving creativity.
For this edition, Chef Watcharaphon “Ja” Yongbanthom draws inspiration from Benjarong’s recent collaboration with Chef Pam of POTONG during the two-night “Manila Calls, Bangkok Answers” event held last September 2025. The result is a tasting journey that celebrates the essence of Thai flavors — familiar yet daring, timeless yet new.
The Experience Menu is available for both lunch and dinner, designed to be enjoyed solo or with company. Guests may choose between a Five-Course Menu (P3,500++) or an Eight-Course Menu (P5,500++) to indulge in, with wine pairings that can be added to further enhance the experience.
The Five-Course Menu includes Mieng Kham, prawns sautéed with shallots, ginger, and Thai lime, Tom Kha Hoi Shell, made with Hokkaido scallops, Khao Soy Pu, crab and caviar mixed in a Northern Thailand curry style, Hang Lay Nuea, a Northern Thailand-style beef dish, and finished with Ma Muang Ma Prao Aon, a dessert with coconut, mango compote, almond puffed rice, and sesame seed.
The Eight-Course Menu has all the dishes mentioned above, accompanied by Yum Pla Tuna, fresh tuna mixed in lime sauce, lemongrass, and chili, Ma Nao, a Thai lime sorbet on a sweet potato nest, and a Petit Four.
Having recently been included in the inaugural MICHELIN Guide Philippines 2026, Benjarong’s Experience Menu further showcases its commitment to serving world-class Thai cuisine in the country.
