Montien Hotel Surawong Bangkok makes a come-back after 18 months of renovation, from old school to retro chic, foodies can now indulge at Ruenton Restaurant with a revamped version of the famous Chicken and Rice.

Originated in Singapore, this comforting dish only has two essential components: poached chicken and a herb and spice infused white rice served with chilli garlic dipping sauce. The uncomplicated nature of the dish inspires many home chefs to create their own recipes, making Chicken and Rice one of the most popular dishes in Thailand. the dish is relatively easy to find wherever you go in Thailand, it’s been said that you won’t find one that tastes quite like the legendary Chicken and Rice at Montien Hotel Surawong Bangkok.

With the reopening of Ruenton, the hotel’s main restaurant, Bangkok’s foodies can now enjoy the original taste of their famous Chicken and Rice in a new contemporary setting. After 18 months of renovation, the restaurant has turned over a new leaf to reveal a modern retro interior design inspired by classic Thai hues, complete with a private collection of Chinese pottery and antiques from the owner’s private collection. “We are extremely proud to mark this exciting new chapter in Ruenton’s history as we welcome back regular customers together with a new generation of diners to celebrate this amazing transformation,” said Montien Hotel’s Executive Director, Mr Montien Tantakit. The new ‘retro chic’ setting makes an incredible backdrop for those wanting to dust-off their vintage finds and don their flared jeans and plaid shirts, just like the good ol’ days.

It wasn’t an easy feat making an ordinary dish memorable. Before Montien’s Chicken and Rice became legendary, Executive Chef Amnuay Aneksuwan, who has been with the Montien Hotel’s restaurant for over 19 years and counting, the team studied the dish and created thousands of recipes for the hotel’s chairman to sample. “He asked them to make this dish for him to try every day. Their experiments must have taken thousands of chickens and countless bags of rice before they could finally perfect this much-loved dish as we know it today.” Not a bad position to be in, we think.
