KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 17 It is less than a week till Chinese New Year but everyone is already in the festive mood, or shall we say, the feasting mood. Time for some good eatin’.
I talk about Mahaniyom, a Thai restaurant that opened in Brookline shortly before the pandemic started, to anyone who will listen. From the soulful food to clever cocktails, they’ve become a go-to spot for me when I’m in search of truly excellent Thai food. I’m also a big gin and tonic fan, so Mahaniyom’s latest cocktail creation the Keg-Huay G&T is a bright spot at the end of this long, trying week. The canned drink is a collab with Nikka Coffey Gin and the Canned Cocktail Company, and features Chrysanthemum-infused gin and Fever Tree Tonic. They also just introduced the Mali Negroni, another canned cocktail using Nikka Coffey Gin, Avèze, vermouth, orange bitters, and jasmine. Grab ’em via takeout or delivery.
