Santiburi Koh Samui, the luxury retreat by S Hotels & Resorts, is ushering in the new season with a refreshed 100 Miles Dining Programme at its signature Sala Thai at Santiburi restaurant, a beloved culinary landmark for over 30 years. The five-course set continues to celebrate authentic Thai cuisine crafted exclusively from ingredients sourced within 100 miles of the resort, with the head chef personally handpicking fresh produce from local markets and the resort’s own organic garden, ensuring the highest quality and authenticity in every dish.

The flavourful journey begins with Hor Mok Talay, a delicate, spiced coconut custard infused with fresh Surat Thani seafood, artfully served in a mini coconut shell as a tribute to Samui’s most iconic fruit. Traditionally steamed in banana leaf cups, this classic Thai dish is reimagined by the chefs, who elevate its presentation while honouring the island’s celebrated coconut heritage. The shell not only enhances visual appeal but also offers a final touch: tender coconut flesh to enjoy afterwards, serving as a natural palate cleanser that gently softens the spice.

For the starter, Samui Lobster Carpaccio pairs the island’s sweet, meaty lobster with playful tom yum caviar and a crisp peanut cracker. The soup course, Tom Yam Goong, is reimagined with a fragrant coconut water broth, offering a lighter, more aromatic take on the classic. The main, Surf ’n’ Earth, pairs slow-cooked, grain-fed beef cheeks from a local farm in Nakhon Si Thammarat, certified by the Department of Livestock Development, with wild-caught Samui red snapper. The tender beef cheeks are slow cooked to perfection and paired with a stir-fried Malindjo leaf mousse and crispy egg, inspired by the Southern Thai favourite Bai Liang Pad Khai (Stir Fried Malindjo Leaves with Eggs), finished with a rich red curry sauce. The red snapper is complemented by local squash mousse and elevated with bold, house-made Surat-style yellow crab curry sauce.

To conclude the culinary journey, Chocolate Coconut Parfait with Raspberries pays homage to the coconut in both form and flavour, balancing creamy sweetness with a bright, tart berry accent. Inspired by the anatomy of a mature coconut, with its rich brown shell and pure white flesh, the dessert is artfully crafted as a half shell: a delicate chocolate exterior encasing a silky coconut parfait.

Every element celebrates the island’s most iconic fruit. The chocolate, supplied by a local Samui artisan, underscores Thailand’s rich terroir and dedication to homegrown ingredients. Finished with fresh raspberries, this playful yet sophisticated finale invites guests to savour the “whole coconut” in a beautifully reimagined, edible form.

The 100 Miles Dining Programme is available exclusively at Sala Thai and is priced at THB 2,900++ per person, with optional wine pairing at THB 1,250++. Guests can also enjoy the menu as part of a specially curated room package, priced from THB 8,850+++, which includes accommodation, daily breakfast for two, one “100 Miles Dining” experience at Sala Thai Restaurant for two for every two paid nights, and 20% off the à la carte menu at Sala Thai.

The Great House at Rosewood Luang Prabang is embarking on a significant culinary transformation, unveiling a new menu that bridges the history of French gastronomy with the essence of Lao culture. The new vision is an homage to a chapter of history reimagined by designer Bill Bensley: the lavish Franco-Lao banquets that French diplomat August Pavie might have hosted during his 19th century tenure in Luang Prabang, the very spirit that inspired the restaurant’s decor.

Launching on November 10, the new menu will feature revered French classics such as Tournedos Rossini, Buffalo Cheek Bourguignon, and Coq Au Vin, presented alongside Lao-inspired plates shaped by seasonal produce and partnerships with local artisans. From Pâté De Foie Gras and Salade Niçoise to Tarte Tatin and Crème Brûlée, each dish is a tribute to a profound culinary legacy.

A Season of Culinary Collaborations

To celebrate this evolution, The Great House will host a series of seasonal pop-up dining events, beginning on November 22, 2025, with a collaboration between the resort’s Chef Ice Lerttanapornsit and the internationally renowned, Michelin-starred French Chef Jeremy Gillon. For the first time in Luang Prabang, Chef Gillon will introduce his innovative, seasonal creations, showcasing his signature approach that harmonizes local terroir with modern technique — a philosophy rooted in his Normandy upbringing and deep appreciation for the art of French cooking.

The series continues from December 24 - 31, 2025, with a week-long guest chef residency featuring Chef Steve Lancaster, formerly of the Michelin-starred Singapore restaurant, Poise. With a career forged in the kitchens of world-renowned establishments like Midsummer House, The Fat Duck, and Oaxen Krog, Chef Lancaster brings his distinct culinary voice to Luang Prabang. His philosophy reinterprets classic combinations, showcasing sophisticated haute cuisine with a focus on purity, balance, and flavor.

A New Chapter in Mixology at Elephant Bridge Bar

Complementing the dining experience, the Elephant Bridge Bar introduces a new era of mixology with a signature cocktail collection inspired by the legends, landscapes, and hill-tribe cultures of Luang Prabang. Available from November 10, the collection features evocative creations like Hmong Migration, Lacquer Mist, and Scholar’s Crown. Each drink is a narrative in a glass, crafted using local spirits, wild herbs, and house infusions to tell the stories of this enchanting land.

Together, these new menus represent a bridge between history and innovation. This evolution solidifies The Great House and Elephant Bridge Bar as a destination for residents and travelers seeking place-driven gastronomy and mixology in Luang Prabang.
