Redesigned and relocated to the ground floor, Benjarong at Dusit Thani Makati is the newest, most exciting Thai dining hotspot to rediscover in Manila. I got the chance to taste the upgraded Royal Thai cuisine, and here’s what’s new at Benjarong.

Benjarong’s literal meaning ‘five colors’ pertains to a unique kind of Thai porcelain embedded with stunning intricate patterns, which the restaurant displays in both its interiors and exteriors. The new Benjarong really did it for me as I felt the royal experience right upon entering the restaurant. It has a fresh and warm ambiance that really makes the dining experience extra classy!
