The World & Ginger @Centara Grand. CTW

I have to admit every time I have a meal at hotel buffet, The thing that draw my attention the most is beef dish. Steak, Roasted beef and whatsoever cooked nicely medium-rare and juice from a nice piece of beef.

When I heard that The World & Ginger restaurant in Centara Grand (CTW) is holding a buffet dinner with theme 'Argentine BBQ', I didn't hesitate to try out.





The price is pinned at 1590THB++ with free flow Argentine wine. Quite a reasonable for fine quality beef cooked properly and well selected wine.

Finely selected Argentine beef, the star of the meal.










Regular menu from most of BKK premuim hotel buffet, freash oyster, Alaska King crab and prosciutto with melon. Assorted cheeses were in fine quaity as well.






Desserts were huge range of selection. We had trouble deciding what to pick as we were almost full from savoury, not much space left in our stomach.




Overall, it was a very impressive meal, especially if you are a bee lover, this is a must for you to try out.

Chef Bar

Thanks to Trip Advisor the rumor of one of the newest Western Food joints in Bangkok, Chef Bar spreaded out quickly. Last wekend my friends and I decided to give Chef Bar a visit and our trip to Chef Bar was proven worthy.


Steak, Burger, Salad and Pie. Easy treats can be found on menu, what bugged me most would be the seasonal menu in the A4 paper attached to the Kitchen Counter. There was even a dish made from Kangaoo meat with Thai style garlic chillies sauce We didn't hestitate to try out this playful dish from the chef.



Wagyu Buger, Thick and juicy piece of beef patty. The fries were surpriingly nice, this is the authentic Belgium Frites, I must say.


Marinated Kangaroo couldn't be any more tender than this. Nicely marinated, finely cooked. Seasoned with Thai infused garlic and chillies sauce, this was definitely the star of our meal.


I found Steak and Smoked Kidney Pie wasn't as smoky as I expected. Anyway, this was satisfying.



The last savory of the meal, Smoke Salmon on Lebanese Pita with Salmon caviar. I enjoyed this a lot. The ingredients were in fine quality.


We had a dessert to share. White chocolate Tart with pickle grave and ice cream.


I could feel the passion for food from every menu. No wonder Chef Bar climbed to the top rank of Bangkok restaurants in no time.

Tan Yakiniku

Tan isone of the most authentic Yakiniku (Japanese beef BBQ) places in town. Recently for the first time, Buffet plan has been added in to their Ekamai Parklane Branch. The price is pinned at 499B+.

I am a big fan of Tan Yakiniku myself, I didn't hestitate to try out. What I had at Tan for buffet dinner was beyond expectation. I must say this is one of the finest Yakiniku Buffet in town.


Wagyu Karubi.

 

Wagyu Rosu.


Tongue



Wagyu Katabara


The beef quality was more than satisfying overall. Seriouly 499B+ is even cheap for this grade of beef. They also have 5% discount by citibank credit card payment. We paid 507B nett for each person. By all means, this is a must for beef lover.

Uomasa @Sukhumvit39

One of my favourite place for Japanese Lunch set, Uomasa.


四色まぐろ丼 - Yoshoku Maguro don. (4 kinds of Tuna rice bowl.)



4kinds of Tuna = 1. Sashimi (Raw fish sliced) 2. Seared 3. Marinated in soy sauce 4.Minced and seasoned with Korean sweet&sour sauce.






Complimentary Hot Soba in Lunch Set.




My brother's 4 kinds salmon on rice.






Mostly the same with my Tuna rice bowl. Only that this is salmon. Mine was Tuna.






The Ramen place next to this Japanese Restaurant is also managed by the same owner. We can order noodles from the Ramen shop next door called 'Menya Kouji' to dine in Uomasa as well.




Al dente chewy noodles. (a bit less chewy than Fujiyama55's IMHO)




Thick concentrated soup.
Less concentrated than Fujiyama55's. I would say Menya Kouji's soup is at the right thivkness tha anyone can enjoy.


A satisfying lunch set over all. Price range is 250-300B which is totally reasonable. A good choice for Japanese lunch set in Sukhumvit area.

Le Beaulieu

Le Beaulieu can be literally translated 'a beautiful place'. Anyhow, I would like to add 'a beautiful meal' to this fine dining French restaurant. After my first trying out I have no doubt why Le Beaulieu is said to be one of the best French restaurant in Bangkok.


Complimentary croissants.




Burrata D.O.C, Heirloom Tomatoes, Citrus Vinaigrette

Rich and creammy. Very enjoyable.


Alaskan Crab Risotto, Saffron Sauce Perfect al dente. Shell fishes sure add fantastic smell to the dish.



Terrine of Foie Gras Soulard, Apple Chutney Packed with flavor. Good texture with chucky pieces of Foie gras. One of the best I ever had so far.

Dover Sole, Meuniere SauceNever had a Dover Sole this good. Flesh was firm and sweet.



Scottish Salmon Fillet, Lentils Stew, Bearnaise SauceCreatively arranged with separately seared skin.



Duck Leg Confit, Roasted Potatoes


Angus Tenderloin, Shallots Red Wine Reduction A very satisfying juicy piece of meat.





Perfect meduim rare as ordered.





Australian Lamb Rack, Garden Beans The most impressive dish of all entire meal. Neatly sous vided. Very juicy and tender.
I even wanna revisit this place just for this Rack of Lamb.




Millefeuille, Tahitian Vanilla Ice Cream




Hazelnat Soufflé, Raspberry SorbetFull flavor with perfect texuture. Another the star of our meal.
