Upon stepping into Burapa Eastern Thai Cuisine & Bar By Sri Trat, guests are mesmerized by the dazzling and opulent open bar, a sparkling centrepiece setting the tone for a truly memorable dining experience. The bar exudes an irresistible allure, inviting patrons to indulge in an array of expertly crafted cocktails that perfectly complement the rich flavours of Eastern Thai cuisine.
Adding to the restaurant’s allure is a long communal table on the same floor, fostering a convivial atmosphere that encourages lively conversations and shared enjoyment of the delectable dishes under the natural sunlight.
Ascending to the second floor, diners are transported to an enchanting world reminiscent of an Eastern Train compartment, symbolizing the travel to and from Trat, where the cuisine of the restaurant originates from. The decor exudes a vintage charm, creating an ambience that is not only enthralling but also irresistibly Instagrammable, perfect for capturing cherished moments.
Beyond its captivating ambience, Burapa continues to impress with its exquisite Eastern Thai cuisine. Drawing inspiration from the unique flavours of the eastern region of Thailand, each dish is a harmonious symphony of bold spices and authentic ingredients, delighting the most discerning palates. Co-founded by the visionary Wongwich ‘Ack’ Sripinyo and his wife Nontawan ‘Taam’ Chitwattanagorn, Burapa is a true testament to their profound passion and dedication to Eastern Thai cuisine, evident in every meticulously crafted dish that captures the essence of the region’s culinary heritage.
An unmissable culinary experience lies in their meticulously curated curry offerings. Brimming with authenticity and tantalizing spiciness, every curry creation evokes the cherished flavours of Trat. What leaves a lasting impression is the accompanying sauce, a true testament to culinary finesse. Crafted in the most authentic manner, the seafood sauce – the very essence of Thai seafood delicacies – is meticulously pounded in the traditional mortar and pestle. Rejecting modern shortcuts, the process eschews blenders for the harmonious union of chillies, garlic, and lime juice. Unlike mechanically precision-cut alternatives, the sauce retains its original essence, embracing its coarse texture, and is aptly referred to by its elemental components – salt and chillies.
Burapa is an exceptional destination that elevates the dining experience to unparalleled heights. From the scintillating open bar to the inviting communal setting and the captivating Eastern Train compartment decor, the restaurant combines contemporary allure with nostalgic charm. With its extraordinary cocktails, convivial atmosphere, and delectable Eastern Thai cuisine, Burapa is a haven for food enthusiasts seeking an authentic and extraordinary taste of this lesser-known culinary treasure.
