The winding road leading into the small forest surrounding the resort is not long, but it gives the feeling of being in the remote provinces of Thailand. At the entrance to the restaurant, the sights and sounds of Pattaya are replaced by a small village with the resort's traditional teak buildings, flowing water and soothing music. Of course, the pool in the middle doesn't quite fit the theme, but it gives off a cool, pleasant feel.

On the contrary, the cuisine at Sugar Hut Restaurant is a prime example of rural Thailand and a small collection of Western dishes offers diners a delightful dining experience. Among the appetizers, the spicy bean salad with shrimp and pork (180 baht) is highly appreciated by diners, featuring a delicate blend of tamarind and tomato with a touch of spicy to bring it all together. typical taste of Thai cuisine.

In addition, main dishes such as Penang curry (180 baht) are also loved by diners. Prepared in the Northern Thai style, with a lot of fat left on the meat, it is stewed for a considerable time, absorbing great fresh water and making the meat exceptionally tender. The rich gravy and the subtlety of typical spices enhance the flavor.

Besides, the dessert that the restaurant's happy and friendly staff always wants to introduce to diners is Bou Loy (120 baht). Served in a coconut (as practically any coconut-related dish here), it consists of warm rice dumplings with sweet coconut milk.

While enjoying these traditional dishes in a traditional setting, diners have the feeling of being in a rural area of central Thailand. The elegant Sugar Hut restaurant, especially the small area, is reserved for people with joints flexible enough to sit cross-legged during their meals. Prices can also be higher than similar restaurants in remote villages in northeastern Thailand, but it's not too expensive.
