Taste @The Westin Grande Sukhumvit

Let’s face it, not every weekend you would find bar hopping is the best activity for your Friday night. There are nights you prefer satisfying dinner in relaxing restaurant. And when it comes to this time around, the end of the year, Our weekend are blessed with many dining promotions launched by gourmet oriented hotels all over Bangkok. 



Among those, I must say The Westin Grande Sukhumvit is offering a very attractive weekend dining experience on their International Buffet Restaurant, ‘Taste’.







On Friday and Saturday night, the price of international buffet is pinned down at regular price of 1,990B. The good news is it’s on 50% discount until 29 December 2012. (Reservation needed)




The highlight of the meal was premium ingredient freshly cook from grill bar. With mouth-watering treats like Australian Beef, Lamb, Rock lobster, foie gras and Snow fish   



Our meal began with classy seafood on Ice. Alaska King Crab, Shrimp, Rock Lobster and Oyster.





Charcuteries were in good quality. Also came with significant variety of cheese and cold cut. 



It left me a big impression that Sun Dried Tomato (my favourite) was at Salad Bar as well. I had plenty of these.


Roll Sushi  and Sashimi were freshly prepared by the chef at Sushi Counter.



Here come our first dish from Grill bar, Rock-lobster. The flesh was juicy. And the heads were packed with roe.



Another highlight was sauteed foie gras. Rich and creamy. The portion was generous.



My all time favorite meat treat, Lamb. This was thoroughly marinated and well seasoned. Even those who don’t enjoy lamb because of the smell would find this enjoyable.



And here come the star of Grill Bar. That makes it the star of our meal also. Snow fish. These were packed with juice and full flavor. The flesh was so tender that it could melt in your mouth. One of the best Snow fish in any buffet I ever encounter. I enjoyed it a lot. Can’t remember how many dishes of these I had all entire meal.



I was almost too full for dessert. But I couldn’t stop myself from over eating as the ice-cream is from Movenpick. Which can be another highlight of the meal.



Vanilla, Chocolate, Mocca Chocolate-chip, Tiramisu, Caramel, Raspberry, Rum Raisin and Passion fruit   8 Flavors of them. This ice cream booth alone almost worth the promotion price already.



As a plus, waffle to go with ice cream is freshly made. The waffle was very rich in flavor but light and crispy in texture.






Syrups and toppings for your ice cream. Among these, I found an interesting syrup. It was ‘Macaron’ flavor. (I tried a bit. It tastes like sweet almond)



I had 4 scoops of Movenpick ice cream. A very enjoyable after meal dessert indeed. I wish I could have more of these, but I was too full already. Blame their sublime grill bar for this. 



Dessert in buffet line overall wasn't too sweet. This is well considerate setting. As Movenpick Ice cream itself is a bit too sweet already.



I had a plate of self-arranged plate dessert. I found their Creme Brulee was very delectable. Also Chocolate were in very good quality. The chocolate from fountain was bitter dark and it suits my liking perfectly.

Overall, it was an enjoyable meal for Friday night. A very nice way to begin a sublime weekend. (Except the calories I will have to later burn out. As 1 scoop of Movenpick Ice cream gives 150kilo cals.) I must say the price after discount is very good offer. And as this promotion goes on until the end of the year, the place will be packed. Reservation should be made in advance.
