Bangkok restaurants
I was really disappointed that Harmonique was not open when I was in Bangkok -- was really looking forward to eating there. I gather the owners often close around the holidays so they can travel themselves.
I already wrote about Bed Supper Club which was the high point of our dining this trip. Really terrific.
Our second best meal was at the recently redone Lord Jim at the Oriental. The new decor is absolutely fabulous -- gorgeous, creative. "sexy" and very "modern" without being cold. The food is also signficantly better than in the past. I had the best salmon I have ever had. Beautifully and creatively prepared. I highly recommend this restaurant now -- in the past I only recommended it for the buffet lunch.
Liked Dalat Indochine and had a pleasant lunch at Lemon Grass.
We loved the new restaurant at the Jim Thompson House. Decor is really lovely and the food was very good and surprisingly inexpensive.
Actually ate out less than in the past. Two cocktail parties for returning guests at the Oriental where they serve more than enough food for dinner meant there were two nights we did not go out -- or just had a snack later on. And then there was New Year's Eve and Christmas Eve both of which we also spent at the hotel.
We did manage to have our Peking Duck at China House -- an absolute must and one of the first things I do when I get to Bangkok. Only wish we had had time to do it twice!!!
