Tucked into the rocks above Kata Point, Kata Rock’s Restaurant and Bar is Phuket’s newest and finest culinary experience, making it the top sunset venue for drinking and dining.
The restaurant uses the freshest produce available and the menu is an enticing mix of modern Mediterranean with a hint of Thai flavours and local spice.
I recently attended the launch of their weekly Sunday Chill poolside brunch. We started off with some refreshing drinks by the pool and some delightful canapés. Grilled sourdough crusty bread, with a layer of Joselito Iberico ham and shaved parmesan cheese. Simple yet divine.
After a few glasses of bubbles, we were taken to our table which was beautifully presented. A selection of Mediterranean antipasto platters, seafood, charcuterie and dips were brought out and we really were spoilt for choice.
Marinated olives; stuffed mushrooms with a crispy coating; tasty hummus flat breads; potato tortilla topped with roasted garlic, aioli and Italian sausage; grilled polenta cake; and antipasto vegetables, were just a few of the choices on offer.
Just when I thought we were finished, they brought out even more scrumptious plates. The sweetcorn pancakes, prosciutto and asparagus tomato jam were delicious, with each mouthful even tastier than the last.
There was also lamb, mint and spinach salad with grilled pork belly as well as scrambled eggs and bacon served on sourdough bread.
Now, onto my favourite part of the day. The desserts. A large cone of chocolate profiteroles stuffed with whipped cream was the star of the day. The delicate combination of chocolate and rich cream melts in your mouth and was made to perfection.
As if that wasn’t enough, we were also offered sponge cake filled with softly whipped cream and caramel, topped with a selection of tasty nuts.
Afterwards, we relaxed with a few more cocktails by the beautiful infinity pool, accompanied by the house DJ playing some chilled out beats. It was the perfect way to digest and finish off the day!
Overall the brunch was truly fantastic and the selection of mouthwatering tapas dishes were exceptional.
