il Giardino Romantico

如果說，要列一個來清邁一定要做的事的清單，那這個蘭那風康托克帝王餐加上傳統舞蹈表演秀，肯定是被列入前十名的。前一陣子在亂搜尋的時候，看到有網友分享說「邊吃飯邊表演的秀絕對不要去看」。因為人家給你東西吃就是要你分心。你分心了自然也就不會太注意表演。不過這間可不一樣。七點入場，先將你餵飽，之後除了點心與飲料之外，正餐就會收走，不讓你在吃了！你也得專心看表演！

康托克帝王餐原是蘭那王朝宮廷用餐的形式。用著一種小圓桌擺著佳餚，用餐順便觀賞舞蹈。這是古代人拿來招待賓客的方式。今日成為觀光客眼中最不可錯過的清邁特色之一。

If I were to make a list of must-do's in Chiang Mai, Khantoke Dinner & Show would inevitably make it to the top ten! While I was reading other people's reviews about the khantoke dinner, I saw a blogger state that these shows that serve dinner are not worth watching, claiming that the dinner distracts you from enjoying the show, therefore the show's quality wouldn't be that great. But I have a different take on this. Here, dinner is served first. After you're done with dinner, they leave only a small snack and drinks. You wouldn't be able to eat much once the show begins. 

Khantoke dinner started out as a feast in the royal courts of ancient Lanna Kindgom. A small, wooden round table is used to place the food, and while eating, guests could enjoy dances and other shows. This was how guests were entertained. Today, it has become a must-do for tourists traveling to Chiang Mai! 



清邁有三間有提供這樣的表演，不過評價最好的還是這間Old Chiang Mai Cultural Center。雖然這天是坐戶內的（天仙認為在戶外看有不一樣的感受），建築也挺舊了，不過絲毫不影響當晚的體驗。天仙雖然看過很多次了，不過老公倒是覺得挺新鮮的。而且因為看過很多次，所以天仙就可以專心地亂拍一通～ 

There are three notable places that provide khantoke style dinners. Old Chiang Mai Cultural Center is among them, the oldest, with the best rating. Our seating was arranged indoors. Outdoor dinner + show has a vastly different atmostphere! Despite the place being a bit old, it did not diminish the joy of the experience at all. I have seen the show many times before, but it was a fresh experience for my husband. And since it was not my first time, I could use the opportunity to take all the photos I wanted! 



首先上場的是開胃小菜：炸南瓜。

First up was the appetizer - fried pumpkin. 



蔬菜湯。 Clear veggie soup.



白飯＆糯米飯。 Rice and sticky rice.

大部分的菜餚跟糯米飯（竹簍裡）比較搭。不過因為這幾天吃的都是糯米，想說還是點個一般米來交替的吃。

Most of the dishes go well with sticky rice, but since we had been eating sticky rice throughout our trip, we thought steamed rice would be a bit of a break for our tummies.



香茅茶 Lemongrass tea (ชาตะไคร้)



對了！忘了說：這裡的門票包含晚餐跟表演。最重要的是：晚餐，你看的見的，能吃進去的都是．吃．到．飽！！！無限量供應喔！

Oh, and I forgot to mention, that the most important thing is that the ticket price includes dinner and show, but that the dinner is ALL YOU CAN EAT!! 



炸麵條 Crispy fried noodles



炒青菜 Stir fried vegetables



豬肉咖哩 Pork curry (Gaeng Hang Lay แกงฮังเล)



剛才的炸南瓜 Deep fried pumpkin (Fak Thong Tod ฟักทองทอด)



番茄肉醬 Spicy red chilli, tomato, and minced pork dip (Nam Prik Ong น้ำพริกอ่อง)



辣椒醬 Green chilli dip (Nam Prik Num น้ำพริกหนุ่ม)



炸豬皮 Deep fried crispy pork skin (Khaep mu แคบหมู)

這個炸豬皮可以把它拿來當作勺子，用來挖前面兩種沾醬食用。再搭配糯米飯，把手上沾上的油脂用糯米飯去一去油。雖然大部分都建議搭配糯米飯食用（所以要用手），不過還是會附上叉子與湯匙，方便取用炒青菜、咖哩等。

You can use this crispy fried pork skin as a scoop and scoop the two dips above. Then, take some sticky rice with your hands to get rid of the grease. They still provide spoon and fork, since some of the other dishes require these utensils.



綜合生菜 Mixed raw veggies

上面提到的兩種沾醬，亦可以拿這些生菜沾來吃。

You can also dip these veggies in the two dips mentioned above.



炸雞 Fried chicken (ไก่ทอด)

這種炸雞，跟糯米飯一起食用是最搭配的了！

Fried chicken goes very well with sticky rice! 



座位就像這樣。當然也有一般的桌椅。不方便這樣坐的在訂位時可以跟先他們說。不然像老人家膝蓋不好就沒辦法這樣坐了。

This is what most seatings look like. If you don't feel comfortable sitting here, you could ask them for a table seat when you make a reservation, especially when you have an elderly companion with you. 



這天我們的位子就在舞台旁邊。雖然不是正前方，但至少這對想要拍照的我來說已經算是很方便了！

Our seating was located right next to the stage. Although not the best, it was still pretty good.



盡情享用餐點！全部都是吃到飽吃到吐喔！！

They'll come and refill whatever you'd like to eat more of! 



用餐的同時還沒表演可以看。先聽聽優美的傳統樂器演奏的旋律。

Before the show begins, you can enjoy the classical melody with these traditional instruments.



差不多快開始表演了，服務人員會過來詢問是否還有需要用什麼餐點。可以先幫你留起來。其實我們已經吃很飽了，所以就請他們全收。接下來就會上水果與點心。

Once the show is about to begin, they'll come around and ask if there are any dishes you'd like to have more of. Otherwise, they're ready to take away everything and start serving fruit and snack. 



 

讓你看表演時若嘴饞還是有東西可以吃～

This is the only thing you could nibble on during the show.

 

未完待續...

天仙念：以前小時候不敢吃辣，只能一直吃炸雞。現在回來吃吃這些，覺得以前不吃辣真的好可惜啊！錯過好多美味耶！
