"This South Corbett Thai restaurant specializes in what’s known as “royal Thai cuisine,” which means (for instance) intricately folded dumplings and cracker cups filled with sauteed vegetables. Many dishes at Siam Umami are hard-to-find joints like ho muk pla, which is a mousse of three kinds of white fish mixed with egg, red curry paste, coconut cream, kaffir, and Thai basil leaves, all wrapped in cabbage. Other highlights include violet-hued chor muang (dumplings stuffed with ground pork and peanuts), and the coconut-water-braised pork belly, paired with a swirl of coconut-whipped potatoes."
