HOT MAGAZINE RECOMMEND
Electric Mango
T
his month’s food review took
the Hot Magazine team to a
hidden food paradise, tucked
away off of Hua Hin’s Soi 112.
Electric Mango is a quiet venue in which
one can unwind and release the stress
accumulated across a hectic week, perfect
for a Friday night dinner – Particularly
if you enjoy steak. We walked in to
tranquil lounge music that very gently
eased into a soothing Bossanova guitar
and complemented the stylish décor of
cozy bungalows and comfortable almost
armchair-like seating. After letting us
enjoy the ambiance for some time, we
were greeted by Chef Nom, who became
in charge of delighting out palates for the
night.

We waited for our entrees by nibbling
on the complimentary bread and butter,
until we were presented with a plate of
deliciously confectioned nachos. These
were extremely crispy, well balanced
and presented a hint of smokiness,
smoothened by the sour cream. They had
a hint of spiciness and tasted extremely
fresh. We then tried the Salmon Tartar,
which was an enlightening dish because
of its distinct zesty taste. Sour and
slightly spicy, the taste of the fish truly
permeated across the mouth, with
a meaty flavour that complemented
freshness. The lobster and crab meat
soup was also something to indulge in:
it juggled a combination of seafood and
defining spice. It had a strong taste that
left a very delightful aroma in the mouth.
Once the entrees had been served, we
were presented with the main courses,
two beautiful prepared steaks, both of
which spoilt us for choice. The first one
was a classic American Rib Eye, medium
cooked it came with an option of sauces
and we chose their creamy pepper
sauce. The overall seasoning of this dish
combined with its tenderness proved
to be a highlight. The steak came with a
side dish and we chose bacon wrapped
asparagus and a baked potato with sour
cream. The former was simply presented
but elegant and flavourful, with a smoky
taste accompanying the distinct taste of
the asparagus. The latter was a perfect
complement to provide a plain balance
and did so very well.
