The Market @Anantara Bangkok Riverside Resort & Spa

How much a meal prepared by the famous Iron Chef could cost? No such absolute answer to this question, I guess. It depends on so many factors. What kind of food you order, How big your stomach can be or What kind of restaurant you stepped in to. 

Soon  that I realized, at a curtain restaurant, The Market @Anantara Bangkok Riverside Resort & Spa, my guessing was proven wrong. 

One of the Iron Chef Thailand, Chef Chumpol has joined the hotel as the person in charge behind Thai Cuisine of the entire Anantara group. And the dishes created by Iron Chef himself are also available in Buffet. 

The offer is pinned at 1400B++  (No Alcohol.) and  1800B++ (Including beer and wine).The Market serves 100 menu of tradditional and modern Thai food arranged by The Iron Chef of Thai Cuisine, Chef Chumpol. 

Along with buffet lovers' most favourtie choice such as; Fresh Oyster and Alaska King Crab. Also grilled seafood from the hot station was packed with big prawn, squid ans oyster.  

Tradditoinal treats like Thai style grilled beef or spiced pork sausage are upgraded to premuim version. Charcoal broiled beef is made by Wagyu Beef. And spiced pork sausage are prepared by Kurobuta.

One thing I found impressive about this buffet is that it's not being too premium-stuff-oriented. Good old peasant treats, my favourite, are not forgortten. The restaurant gives a fancy touch to peasant food like tradditional Thai chilles paste or Curry. 

I couldn't believe my eyes when I spotted a rare shirmp chilles paste called Seangwa or tradditional Northern Thai curry called Kengboon in the buffet line. And again these were made by finest qualities of ingredients.

Audiences of Iron Chef cooking showdown surely wish they could have taste thoes dishes the Iron Chef cooked in the show. And at The Market, this is the place where the dream comes true. The restaurant serves those dishes the chef created in the battle Chef Chumpol won. This is the most significant meaning of having the Iron Chef himself behind the kitchen. 

There was 2 dishes of them on the day of my visit. The first oneThai Anchivy in white sauce topped with cheese, baked. Anchovy’s flavor was not too strong. It only add some zest in to the creamy white sauce.

And the other one was Tomyam Prawn Bisque soup. Rich Bisque soup is season with refrshing Thai herb; Lemonglass and Leech Lime. A refined dish with Thai heritage indeed.

Savoury alone is more than worthwhile paying the bill already, frankly speaking I didn't expect much from dessert. Yet, again I was wrong. The dessert line was HUGE and wide in variety that I didn't know where to begin. Both Thai and Western dessert were plentiful accompanied with fresh fruits.

As expected from a Thai restarant, Sticky Rice with Mango was there. Unexpected, the mango is freshly peeled right before our eyes. Also the other fruits were freshly peel. This is a big effort that help improving the quality greatly.

It was another amazing dining experience with the view of Chapraya River side panorama. With attentive and friendly service, our 3 hours long Sunday Brunch were considerable too short. That should express well how much we enjoyed the meal.
