Smoking Doll
Smoking Doll will serve an oriental menu, with Thai and Vietnamese influences.
To start, diners can opt for dishes including the vegetable spring rolls, fish cakes served with a green mango salad and palm sugar dip, and the Pandan Leaf Chicken, with a portion of Thai pickles on the side.
Guests looking for a lighter option can select the Som Tam salad, a spicy mix of green papaya tossed with beans, tomato and chilli, or Bangkok Tom Yam soup, a traditional hot and sour creation comprising lemongrass and lime leaves, with dumplings on the side.
For the main course, the restaurant will serve Pad ki Mao, spicy noodles with chilli, holy basil, soy sauce and chicken.
