Ashvarin Hotel's Buffet Serves Signature Lotus Bud Salad
Ashvarin Grand Convention Hotel's Saraswadi Restaurant offers a premium international buffet at under 800 baht, featuring signature lotus bud salad made with fresh, pesticide-free ingredients sourced from the owner's private farm in Phetcha
Unbelievable: a five-star hotel buffet under 1,000 baht really exists.
At just over 700 baht, there are no hidden charges, plus complimentary desserts, tea, coffee, and cold drinks.
It's Saraswadi Restaurant at Ashvarin Grand Convention Hotel, offering international buffet cuisine loved by food enthusiasts.
Importantly, they maintain this price consistently, with even better deals on special family days.
The newly renovated spacious dining room offers full Thai, Chinese, Western, Japanese, and freshly made street food lines.
Despite the low price, the food quality is premium, featuring Peking duck, dim sum, sushi, sashimi, seafood, and aromatic Thai curries.
Customers are plentiful and mostly regulars, so the menu rotates regularly to avoid monotony.
However, signature dishes remain constant, including the restaurant's signature 'miang kham glib bua,' the restaurant's flagship dish.
The special feature is the 'nam miang kham' sauce, with a balanced, non-cloying taste and aromatic spices. The fresh vegetables and accompaniments emphasize healthy, chemical-free ingredients.
Executive Sous Chef Jirawat Sithnityadetch (Chef Gee) and Chef Kanokwan Kongtrut (Khun Nuch), the Thai kitchen chef, revealed the secrets behind the dishes' deliciousness:
Nam miang kham is a royal palace recipe refined into the restaurant's own version based on customer feedback, made with meticulous steps.
The accompaniments use only premium, fresh ingredients. Dried shrimp uses large glass shrimp, soaked until desalted, then crisped by frying. Roasted coconut is made in-house, roasted slowly with careful attention.
Miang leaves include not just lotus petals but also peppery leaves and Hong Kong Chinese kale, selected one leaf at a time, taking only young, edible leaves.
Chilies, ginger, lemongrass, lime, and various fresh vegetables are sourced directly from a pesticide-free agricultural garden at Khao Khapong in Phetchaburi Province, owned by Dr. Aswin Ingkakul, chairman of the Miracle hotel group, who invested in growing vegetables himself to ensure customers only get the best.
Wow—enjoy your meal with a happy heart. Let's make nam miang kham this meal's MVP.
The buffet opens in two seatings: 11:30 a.m.–2:30 p.m. at 790 baht and 5:00 p.m.–10:00 p.m. at 890 baht, higher because of added raw seafood.
But here's the catch: Mondays feature promotions at 700 baht for lunch and 800 baht for dinner, with no drop in food quality or quantity.
