CERAMIC KITCHEN THALANG
Ceramic Kitchen is set in a huge building that is full of surprises. Once inside you are in a beautiful garden style setting with water features, fish ponds, lovely chunky wood furniture, colorful ceramic pieces and clay statues.
This place is very quirky, all of the ceramics are for sale and there is a shop at the back with reasonable prices.
You are spoilt for choice here as there are two huge menus, one Thai and one European and prices are extremely reasonable. Ceramic Kitchen is very popular with Thai people and is fantastic for parties or groups, there is a 2 piece band playing every night who enjoy people singing along with them or having a go at Karaoke.
Our last visit to Ceramic Kitchen was not a good experience, 2 Duck dishes were ordered, one was good, the other was totally raw.
I ordered a Smoked Salmon Grilled Pizzetta, they bought out a Salmon Salad, when I told them it was wrong they said this is what you ordered. I then showed them the item in the menu. A few minutes later they bought out my dinner and it was clear to everyone that the salad they had taken away had just been tipped onto the Pizza base.
Needless to say I did not eat it nor pay for it.
Two friends also ordered the Smoked Pork Knuckle and said it was very fatty, not much meat and inedible crackling so it was a very disappointing experience for quite a few of our group.
Due to this we did not go back to Ceramic Kitchen for many months, so now it is time to try again. so, the same 6 of us went back and we were all happy to say our meals were delicious, however service is still very hit and miss.
If only they could train their staff a bit better, but they seem more interested in talking and playing on their phones.
Ceramic Kitchen Bar and Restaurant is about a half hour drive from Patong Beach on Srisoonthorn Rd Thalang not far from Laguna heading towards the Heroines Monument.
