The famous Polynesian-themed
restaurant, Trader Vic’s located at Anantara Bangkok Riverside Resort and Spa.
The restaurant offers agurably one of best international Sunday Brunch in town.
The price is pinned at 1,799B++(Including coacktails and renowned signature
Maitai) and 2,199B++ (including wine and sparkling wine).
We got to the restaurant
early and had time to take a tour. The place is decorated with unique
Polynesian-theme. As the place is by riverside, indoor seat were allowed to
appriciate a great view of Chaopraya river.
The food is prepared in
very wide range from Asain to European with decent quality ingredients. The
chioces are way too many that I think it’s impossible any individual would be
able to taste every dish in the restaurant in single visit.
Cold Cut and Terrine came
with many options. Duck/Salmon, Terrine, Parma Ham, Salami, Beef/Salmon carpaccio.
Also Tuna/Salmon tartare.
Japanese cuisine can be
found in many coner starting from the sushi bar from Benihana. Sashimi and Roll
sushi are available in wide range.
Also there is Teppanyaki
station for grilled dished lover.
Seafood on ice were in
great qualities with premuim choice ex: fine de cliare oyster, Lobster, Alaska
King Crab, Caviar, Salmon Egg Roe, etc.
Decent Oyster came with
choices of seasoning.

in sweet&sour sauce, Grilled prok collar or Spicy salad are available also.
Mediterranean dishes.

This station cook foie

Skewer station. All kind

The drink are available
inwdie range already with 1,799B++. Of course, Maitai, their original cocktail

These were combinations
of sorbet and liquor. Ex: Cola soebet with Jim Beam whisky. Toramisu sorbet

Last but not least,
Dessert. Dessert alone were in wide range that I didn’t where to begin.
Tropical fruits with
premium stuff like peach and fresh berries.
Cake, pies and Ice Cream.
I began my meal with cold
cuts. Cold cuts, Seafood on ice are all in good qualities. Terrine were smooth
and finely prepraed.
We had decent Japanese
treat from Benihana. Sashimi was in nice quality.
The tenderloin beef from
Teppanyaki Station was heavenly tender and aromatic. I had a few plates of
this.
Here come another star of
the meal. Thick cut sauteed Foie Gras. It’s as large as a halfed pear. And the
thickness was nearly 1 inch.
The Foie Gras was cooked
perfectly crispy outside and medium-rare inside. The best Foie Gras from any
Buffet ever.
Crispy duck’s skin
isn’t as crispy as common one from
Chinese Restaurant. The good thing is that this came with roasted duck meat
also. Not skin only.
Lobster bisque was in
average quality. I prefer a little bit thicker one.
Pasta were too good to be a dish in buffet line.
Meal won’t complete
without dessert. I also had a plate of peach, my favourite fruit.
With a nice cup of coffee,
I finally end my long and big meal at Trader Vic’s.
In both aspect of variety
and quality of food, this is one of the most worthwhile buffet in Bangkok. The
variety of food is so plenty that I felt like I did some bar hopping all
afternoon. The word one of the best Sunday Brunch in Bangkok is nothing but a
truthful fact indeed.
