My Thai Lounge looks across Queenstown Bay from the first floor of the Bay Centre, pairing a broad lake-and-mountain outlook with contemporary Thai cooking. The restaurant has pursued its approach since 2009: New Zealand ingredients are handled with traditional Thai techniques, then nudged in a modern direction rather than stripped of their original character. Lunch and dinner can be taken at a table overlooking the water, while takeaway and delivery offer the same cooking beyond the dining room.

The starter list moves comfortably between Bangkok street-food cues and more composed plates. Grilled skewers can be combined with sticky rice and green papaya salad, while prawn doughnuts arrive crisp with plum sauce. Som tum brings dried shrimp, peanut, tamarind, chilli and lime to shredded papaya and vegetables; coconut tempeh takes a sweeter route through cashew, shallot, tamarind and palm sugar. Spicy herb larb, pork-and-prawn dumplings and hot-and-sour soups make it easy to assemble a shared first course with contrasting textures and levels of heat.

Curries and wok dishes show the kitchen's range beyond the familiar standards. Roasted duck sits in red curry with pineapple, grapes and basil, while the vegan jungle curry omits coconut milk and keeps a deliberately hotter profile. Classic red, yellow and green curries remain available for diners who want a more recognisable route. Soft-shell crab is stirred through the restaurant's scrambled curry, pork belly can be paired with soybean or chilli-jam sauce, and seasonal greens are wok-fried with garlic, with plant-based adaptations marked across several dishes.

Rice and noodles carry some of the menu's most distinctive combinations. My Thai fried rice layers chilli jam with garlic chicken, tempura prawn, omelette, green apple, cucumber and fresh herbs; prawns khao soi sets egg noodles and tempura seafood against yellow curry and pickled condiments. Railway fried rice and slow-cooked beef massaman offer two more substantial directions. For dessert, condensed-milk roti, warm tapioca pudding with coconut milk and mango ice cream with coconut sticky rice keep the final course closely tied to the restaurant's Thai vocabulary.
