About Khing
Khing is a Thai restaurant named for the Thai word for ginger, open from 7 pm to 9.30 pm and closed on Tuesday and Saturday. Island-grown herbs go into the cooking, and the dress code is elegant resort-wear. The decor uses dark teak, silk tapestries and blue-and-white Siam ceramic tableware.
Dishes include pork ribs glazed in sweet hoisin, crispy Thai shrimp toast, wok-seared pork belly with yellow Thai curry, a red seafood curry simmered in coconut milk, and a whole steamed fish with garlic, celery, red chilli, coriander and lime. Dessert is mango sticky rice or house-made taro ice cream, and the sommelier has chosen wines to go with the menu.
Named for the Thai word for ginger, Khing balances tradition and creativity in a soulful, memorable Thai dining experience. Fragrant curries, fresh herbs and bold, balanced flavours are served in a relaxed island setting.
