About Malai Restaurant

Inside Sathorn’s retro Malaysia Hotel, Malai Restaurant runs around the clock as Bangkok's unpretentious culinary safe zone. Night owls settle in for classic khao tom alongside steaming bowls of boiled rice tinted with pandan or butterfly pea. Regulars round out the table with savory plates of minced pork with Chinese black olives, wok-charred greens, and crisp fried salted fish patties squeezed with lime and sliced shallots. Service is brisk, prices stay grounded, and designated hotel parking takes the sting out of late-night arrivals.

  • Round-the-Clock Dining: Operates 24/7 inside the Malaysia Hotel, serving hot boiled rice and savory side dishes at any hour.
  • Distinct Porridge Options: Bowls of boiled rice come tinted naturally with pandan, butterfly pea, or red brown rice.
  • Heritage Side Dishes: Wok-fired comfort standards include minced pork with Chinese black olives and fried salted fish patties.
  • Dedicated Hotel Parking: Designated on-site parking at the hotel eliminates the hassle of narrow Sathorn side streets.

  • Nostalgic 1990s Hotel Diner Atmosphere

    Retaining its mid-to-late 20th-century hotel diner character, the venue channels old-school Bangkok nostalgia supported by veteran culinary recipes passed down from historic city establishments.

    This restaurant has a nostalgic ‘90s vibe. The congee menu is a great choice, and the side dishes are quite tasty.
