Our take: Belmont Heights’ passport to Bangkok: Real Thai keeps it authentically spicy. Bring a Singha six-pack and prepare for a full-contact flavor experience.
Wine Pairing: For authentic Thai, bring an off-dry Riesling or a aromatic Gewürztraminer. A New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc also cuts through spicy dishes.
Beer Pairing: Singha is the classic Thai beer pairing. For a craft option, try Half Acre's Daisy Cutter Pale Ale to cut through spice.
Spirits Pairing: Bring a bottle of Mekhong, Thailand's spirit, for authentic cocktails. For a twist, try a bottle of Plantation Pineapple Rum.
