Welcome back to Koh Phangan Island News, the one and only online news magazine offering fresh, latest and hottest news about the island of lunacy, called Koh Phangan Paradise.

Menu Phangan Opening Party – Contemporary Dining and Modern European Cuisine. We invite you to join us and celebrate the opening of Menu Phangan, a new exciting dining experience on Koh Phangan Island. There will be a selection of food and beverages from 7pm until late, free of charge! We do hope that you can take the time and spend it with us at Menu Phangan. We look forward to seeing you then …

Well … that was the invitation flyer Becki received a couple of weeks ago. Becki is normally not a big friend of any opening parties or other social activities as I prefer keeping a very low profile here on the island of madness. But Becki’s Cheap Charlie alert system detected those words FREE OF CHARGE printed on that flyer and that’s of course always a reason to change your social attitude, isn’t it?

The main issue then is to immediately stop eating any solid food for at least 2 days before the opening event so we can then all massively fill up our poor and empty stomachs with that free selection of food and beverages offered by our friendly hosts Nick & Ann from Menu Phangan, the new exciting dining experience.

Becki was stunned how many starving island associates and cheap charlies showed up that night looking forward to fill their stomachs with that FREE selection of food and beverages. There must have been at least over a hundred island agents throughout the night at the Menu Phangan opening event. And to be honest, Becki also sort of likes these social activities as it gives you a brief insight of who is shaking hands with whom … who is doing business with whom … it provides you with a detailed status about current island politics.

However … where’s the free buffet? That was the main question whispered throughout the night by most of those empty growling stomachs looking for a fast, massive & delightful relief. Sadly … there was no such thing as a free buffet! Instead you had these waitresses and waiters running around with those tiny plates of appetizers, snacks and whatsoever. Which were quite tasteful by the way, but of course not big enough to keep your growling stomach quiet for a while.

At that point you have to be very diplomatic and smart. So sitting at the end of the restaurant won’t do the trick as most appetizer plates arrive there pretty empty. Though, you could still nibble off some tiny pieces of pork from the left over satay sticks if you like. Becki tried but it is really hard work … others look at you like you’re a pig or another kind of bizarre animal … so not that satisfying after all.

Therefore Becki recommends a very strategic move by re-positioning your empty stomach into the bar area which is glad fully located next to the main kitchen access door. That’s your point of interest … that’s where the food comes out.

Well … it worked for a while … but Becki has to admit that there were indeed some more bright brainiacs that night and it didn’t take very long until the bar & lounge area was filled up with a bunch of growling stomachs.

FOR STAFF ONLY! It said on the kitchen door. So my next point of interest was established. And under the disguise of being the island newspaper paparazzi who only wants to take some nice pictures of the chef Nick at work, Becki finally was granted main access to the exciting Menu Phangan dining experience. Great! And suddenly … there it was … smoked salmon … pizza … appetizers … snacks … pork satay … and many other delightful mouth watering some things. AWESOME 😉

The rest of the night Becki spend most of his time with his free friend Heineken and a couple of red wine glasses from far away Chile, which were very tasteful by the way. Then the usual chatting and small talk with the island’s usual suspects and after all Becki has to say it was a great & funny night at the opening party of Menu Phangan. Please also go and have a look in the Menu Phangan picture gallery for further investigations – thank you!

    Just a few nights ago, I was in Menu and had a suberb meal, the squid entree and beef main course were especially great, that coupled with a hot chocolate fondant dessert and two bottles of Rioja, made our night special, thanks to you at Nick & Ann at Menu.

  • Have been for a few meals at MeNu….every one a highly memorable experience! Nick and Ann have created a very special ambience, space and a delightful garden. The food is to die for…perfectly served and presented and the wine list extensive. Anyone who feels they deserve a really special treat and enjoys fine dining should go and sample the delights of MeNu
