Asset World Corporation Public Company Limited (AWC), a Thai real estate developer focused on comprehensive lifestyle solutions, has launched “Yue Restaurant and Bar,” a modern chic Chinese dining venue at Courtyard Marriott Phuket Town. This restaurant aims to provide a unique dining experience with a diverse menu, complemented by specially designed private dining spaces for parties, gatherings, and meetings, offering a distinctive culinary experience to both locals and tourists, while enhancing Phuket's tourism industry with a focus on world-class culinary cultural tourism.

Nawallapa Traisorat, CEO and Managing Director of AWC, stated, “AWC is committed to enhancing tourism potential and establishing Phuket as a global hub of happiness and deliciousness. We have launched 'Yue Restaurant and Bar' at Courtyard Marriott Phuket Town, managed by Marriott International, with a prime location in the heart of Phuket, surrounded by historical and cultural attractions, featuring local cuisine and popular dining spots. 'Yue Restaurant and Bar' will add a special culinary experience to Phuket through its atmosphere and diverse modern chic Chinese cuisine, available every day, with a special dim sum menu crafted from premium ingredients to support Phuket as a global destination.”

“Yue” 悅 (Yuè) in Chinese translates to “happiness and delightful joy,” reflecting the joy of dining experiences shared with loved ones, whether family, partners, or friends. The pleasure of dining is part of good health and happiness. The Chinese restaurant “Yue Restaurant and Bar” will offer a unique culinary experience with a modern chic atmosphere and menu, crafted by a team of chefs with over 10 years of experience, featuring high-quality ingredients sourced from the community to support sustainability and create value for society. Highlight dishes include Cantonese-style dim sum made fresh daily, Peking duck with crispy skin served with thin pancakes, condiments, and unique sauces, braised pork belly served with pickled mustard greens and steamed buns paired with a special sauce from the restaurant, and the must-try signature dish ‘Chinese Peach’, beautifully presented in pink to symbolize the peach blossom and peach of prosperity according to Chinese legend, along with herbal soup with thousand-mile peach blossoms, a healthful dish for glowing skin. Guests can also enjoy the ‘Tea Bar,’ featuring premium Chinese teas presented in a chic blooming tea style, enhancing the flavors of the dim sum.

The design of “Yue Restaurant and Bar” is inspired by the cultural and historical narratives of Phuket, shaped by Hokkien Chinese immigrants who arrived in southern Thailand since the 16th century, engaging in trade and bringing prosperity to Phuket. This inspiration is reflected in the interior decor of 'Yue Restaurant and Bar,' which prominently features dragon motifs, symbolizing the Chinese dragon dance culture, along with white woven fabrics hanging from the ceiling, combined with flowing decorative lines that reflect the powerful movement of dragons, enhanced by the harmonious use of gold and red colors, embodying the rich stories and memories of Chinese heritage passed down to the people of Phuket.

“AWC remains committed to developing projects that cater to lifestyle needs while creating unique experiences that reflect the values of art, culture, and Thai identity, alongside driving the country forward and supporting Thailand as a global tourist destination. 'Yue Restaurant and Bar' meets the dining preferences and lifestyle of Phuket residents who enjoy Chinese cuisine and is the fourth restaurant at Courtyard Marriott Phuket Town, where all dining venues within the hotel encompass various aspects of Phuket's culture, including Talung Lounge, Crocodile Pool Bar, and the Market Kitchen. Additionally, Courtyard Marriott Phuket Town offers a variety of well-equipped banquet rooms and a large ballroom with a special VIP area on the mezzanine that connects to the ballroom, making it suitable for hosting significant events such as conferences, activities, and weddings. AWC believes that the opening of 'Yue Restaurant and Bar' will further enhance the hotel's strengths, ready to accommodate international conferences with the uniqueness of Thai, Chinese, and Western cuisine, contributing to the strength of the food and beverage service and tourism business in Phuket, aiming to become a global food and beverage destination,” Nawallapa concluded.

The “Yue Restaurant and Bar” is located on the 2nd floor of Courtyard Marriott Phuket Town and is open daily from 07:00 AM to 10:30 AM for breakfast, 11:00 AM to 2:30 PM for lunch, and 6:30 PM to 10:30 PM for dinner.
