Follow on Google News | Hotel Restaurants at BangkokMany of Bangkok's luxury hotels provide memorable - if expensive - eating experiences.
By: frederic If you're on a budget, check to see if a lunch buffet is available on weekdays; these are usually the best deals, ranging from 300B to 600B per person. Dinner entrees do a quick ascent to 700B to 1500B for a main dish. Also check the Bangkok Post and the Nation for weekly specials presented by visiting chefs from far-flung corners of the globe — Morocco, Mexico City, Montreal, no matter how obscure, they' ve probably done the Bangkok hotel circuit. Lunch usually runs from 11.30am to 2pm, and dinner from 5pm to l0pm. Reser¬vations are recommended, and business casual (long sleeves, closed-toe shoes) will probably suffice, at least for daytime din¬ing. The lunch buffets are popular business rendezvous points where the Western-style suits outnumber the leisure set. The Oriental Hotel has six restaurants, all managed by world-class chefs, and buffet lunches are offered at several of these. The hotel's China, set in a charming restored private residence opposite the hotel's main wing, has one of the best Chinese kitchens in Bangkok, with an emphasis on Cantonese cooking. The lunch-time dim sum is superb and a bargain by luxury hotel standards. The Oriental's Lord Jim's is designed to imitate the interior of a 19th-century Asian steamer, with a view of the river; the menu focuses on seafood (lunch buffet available). Bai Yun , on the 60th floor of the Banyan Tree, specializes in nouvelle Cantonese —an East-West fusion.More: Chinatown, in Dusit Thani , focuses on Chao Zhou (Chiu Chau) cuisine as well as Cantonese. Dim sum, drunken chicken and shark's fin soup are just a few of the delicacies on the lunch-buffet menu. The Dusit also has the highly reputed Mayflower, with pricey Cantonese cuisine, and the Vietnamese Thien Duong. # # # Information and links to discounted travel guide includes airfares, hotels, cruises, tickets to major attractions and events for Thailand.
