Review

The Fable Feast can be found in the lush grounds of the Hotel Labaris. The interior is strikingly spacious, with rustic furnishings completing the farmhouse barn ambiance. Chef Songphol “Ohm” Sittisorn leads the kitchen and his a la carte menu contains a mix of international with subtle twists and Thai favourites, and it is the former, where this restaurant shines. Begin with double-fried chicken wings with gochujang sauce, crunchy spicy lip-smacking goodness. Follow with what the duck salad, topped with a gooey runny duck egg or a satisfying slightly crusty oven-baked rich spaghetti pomodoro with seafood. There is a wide range of steaks on the menu. Select from grain or grass-fed, Mandolong or Bindaree, ribeye, striploin, tenderloin or oyster blade, wagyu or not, according to your preference. If with friends, share an exclusive 2GR wagyu tomahawk, and when celebrating add lobster for an unforgettable combination. Sauces range from classic Béarnaise to house signatures of Khao Yai basil chimichurri and whisky parmesan peppercorn. Outside of beef there are equally many choices: lamb cutlets, BBQ spare ribs, smoked Kurobuta pork chop, or fresh seabass. Desserts are decadent creations featuring chocolate, caramel, and honey toast, all recommended for the sweet-toothed diner or end with a platter of seasonal fruits. A concise wine list offers sufficient matches.
