Thai Palace in the Gulf Hotel

This restaurant is inside the Gulf Hotel which has 18 restaurants in it. The hotel is beautiful and one of Bahrain's oldest. This Thai restaurant lets you pick out your own fish and cooking methods if that's what you choose to order. We had stuffed soft shell crabs and vegetable spring rolls for appetizers (pictured), followed by pad thai and coconut spiced shrimps. The desserts were delicious. We had a mango creme brulee and stuffed pumpkin with egg custard. This was the first place that actually had creme de menthe on the dessert beverage menu so of course I had to get it. I had a half bottle of Portuguese rose wine that was wonderful (pictured). To get to the restaurant you get to walk outside the hotel and down a few stairs that look like they were made out of bamboo. They really tried to create an authentic dining expeprience here. Next weekend we're dining at the first fine dining Mexican restaurant. I can't wait, it's been a while since I've had a margarita!
