The fact that you often need to wait to be seated in this 100-cover plus restaurant tells you something. Once you are given a chair, the first thing you notice is the central stage. Upon it are Thai musicians and dancers, who serve up a series of traditional performances.
The menu is exclusively Thai, with a hint of Chinese influence. Most dishes are around 120B with 7 per cent tax added at the end. We went for the standard Pad Thai with prawns, baked mussels and the more unusual Hong Kong-style beef.
The Pad Thai was good, but lacked a little freshness, although the prawns were larger than you normally get. The mussels were great - very meaty and with a fiery dip, while the beef dish was plentiful, and came with a tangy sauce.
If you have friends in town, then the cultural show on offer makes it a great dining choice for Pattaya, while the food serves as a good introduction to Thai cuisine. The restaurant is on Second Road, almost opposite the Royal Garden Plaza, and has its own parking.

With their very own 'Tina Turner' strutting across the stage, the Malibu bar on Second Road is one of the liveliest bars in town. This ladyboy cabaret bar puts on a show featuring English, Russian and Chinese songs, all performed by hugely entertaining, lip-synching entertainers.
