Re: Eating in Bangkok
 

Central Department Store's 7th floor Food Loft!

Re: Eating in Bangkok
 

For Japanese Food, there is a restaurant call Fuji on level 6th ( if I am not wrong ) of MBK.

There is another 1 at siam square which offer eat all you can buffet for 500 baht.

As for chinese food, you should go to Yaowala. The shark's fins and Bird nest are quite solid !!!

Re: Eating in Bangkok
 

em... i have been to a restaurant in bangkok. cheap n nice food and very very nice ambience. it is not a tourist restaurant and mostly ppl who goes there are thais or tourist brought by local thais. This restaurant is right next to chao phraya river and the Rama VIII brigde. Bros who have seen the Rama VIII brigde at nite should know that it is very beautifully lighted at nite.

just imagine.... dining by the river with the wind breeze, having a huge and very nicely lighted brigde that is hanging across the river as a back view. slow n soft live music played by a 2 piece band singing to your meal. really nice ambience. but.. it is a open concept restaurant (i prefer cause i smoke) so dun expect air-con. it is the kind of place where u will still hang around after meal for a drink and to listen to the live music. i think u can ask your thai friends, maybe they know this place. i think also, there are a few more restaurant with the same concept in that area. so maybe u can go to this Rama VIII brigde area to look around.

Re: Eating in Bangkok
 

Hi, for thai seafood, u can try Soi Nathong or Ahhang Nathong, is near the Carribean at See Yak Meng Chai, Ratchada. The Price is cheap and the food here is delicious. I think this is the biggest restaurant in BKK.
For Chinese food, either u can go the Yawarat, Bangkok's chinatown or maybe along Rachada City Hotel in Rachada's Meng Chai, along there, there are many small shop selling chinese food, like chinese's gwee type, they have soya bean drink or beancurd, fried flour type like Youtiao, the fried butterfly, and other chinese types. All the prices is only few bahts only onward.
For Jap's food, u can either try their Zen Jap's Restaurant and Fuji Jap's Restuarant. At the World Trade centre, MBK and Siam Centre and Siam Discovery Centre, you can find these 2 Jap's Restaurant Branch. Price wise is cheap and taste wise is solid.
For Western Food, u can try 13 coins Hotel at Rachada Soi 18, the steak is very nick and popular. Actually, this is a budget type of hotel, at the 2nd level, it is a coffee house. Over here, the Gravy type of Kuai Teow Nalah is nice, the kuai Teow Pa sei Yew (fried black soya sauce of kuai Teow or noodle), they put lots of different type of seafoods on it. The portion is very big,can cater for 2 person although is for 1 person. It is about 100 to 120 bahts only, very big plate and very delicious. Their famous dish is besides these and the popular Steak. The owner went to Sweden to learn all the skills while he work there and come back to BKK to settle up his own. The coffee here is also quite nice. The price is quite nice.
Opposite this hotel, there is a small lane, during the daytime, from 7am to 4pm, the Duck's noodle is very very nice and only 30 to 40 bahts only. It closed on Sunday. But avoid 12noon to 2pm, u can't find seat at all on weekdays because lots of working ppls nearby come to eat here for their lunch.
Chicken rice and local dry and soup noodles are also quite cheap n nice at Rachada Hwai Kwang, here open daily from about 5pm till next morning about 4am.
Hope this can help u.

Re: Eating in Bangkok
 

Yummy, this are some must try local food. I used to lived in Hwai Kwang and it really remind me of the good old days. :D

Re: Eating in Bangkok
 

compare to restaurant, i always prefer street food. its the best in thailand no matter which provinces.

cheers

Re: Eating in Bangkok
 

Hway Kwang market--street food HEAVEN!!!


try the Khao Kha Muu ( Pork leg rice) a favourite spot for off duty WLs and pooying spotting. The shop is approx 70m from the Junction of with Somboon/Emmaneulle. There's also a BBQ Pork seller, A favourite with a certain group of my old samster friends.

Re: Eating in Bangkok
 

Tried the curry noodles and porridge at Hway Kwang market at my last visit, total cost for the 2 dishes only around 60 baht including drinks, real value. The curry noodles is something like Curry Laksa but you can choose your type of noodles and they give you a basket of vegetables for you to add into the soup. Real hot and spicy stuff but damn syok. As for the porridge I think they put chicken inside and also break open a raw egg on the porridge as it is steaming. An added attraction will be the hundreds of girls working around the nearby massage parlours and ktvs which will walk pass during their break time ;) I've read somewhere that if you can speak thai you can possibly try to pick them up, but too bad I still got a long way to go to learn thai.

Re: Eating in Bangkok
 

Seafood - Go to "Somboon" Seafood Resturant Silom Branch. A lot of people will asked why Silom? Becos the chef is among the best of all in the whole organisation. Even the Japanese PM also patronise the Silom Outlet when he was here can see his family photo hanging around the resturant.

Western Food - If you're not afraid of hot, will recommand you to go to "Sam Yaang" Market. It's an old market like Sg hawker centre style but the food there is cheap and good. During over weekends, you can also catch EPL action live while dining and also there's also seafood available as well. After your food, you can also go across the road to "Wat Hua Lumphong" (Temple)to pray and "Tam Boon"(Charity).

Thai Food - If can take traditional thai food, I recommand you to go to "Sabai Jai Kai Yaang" at Ekkamai. This resturant is special for their roasted thai chicken and Som Tam.

Chinese Food - Not sure where's the best but can try the shops situated in "Yaowarat"(China Town).

Japanese Food - If you a big eater, I will recommand you to to "Oiishi" Buffet Resturant as it's good. Or "Fuji" is another good alternative around in town. But top traditional Japanese resturant are parked at Sukhumvit Soi 33 near to Emporium where all the Japs hang around.

Re: Eating in Bangkok
 

Hi BKK master,

Wat Hua Lumphong, is it the temple that looks very much like those chinese temple in sg and there is a 'tiger lord' deity inside? you can go there to pray and also donate $ for coffin right? cause my X-tirak brought me there a few time and it opened until very late right? im trying to find the name of this wat. thanks

cheers

Re: Eating in Bangkok
 

yes, thats the one... after donation, they will give u a paper to write ur name.. then u paste it on the "coffin". I think its open 24 hours...
Its Wat Hua Lumphong....
Its along Ranma 4 road. Quite near Surawong Road. At a junction there... Actually, If u come out from MBK, facing Siam Square, turn to ur right.... go down that direction (take cab, ok?), pass Chulalongkorn U, u'll reach 1 big 4 way junction... the temple is jus at corner of the junction.

:)

Re: Eating in Bangkok
 

For a very nice local upmarket restauraunt but still reasonable pricing and great ambiance and location, try out The Good View Bar and Restaurant. Lots of non-Bar/HC regular girls too.... location 2525 Charoen Krung Rd, Bang Kho Laem (02-6891393-7) next to Krung Tep Bridge at Chao Phya River off Rama III

The original one was in Chiang Mai...... this one in Bangkok is very classy too

Dinner for 3 pax including drinks approximately 800-1500B............. depending on what you order

www.goodview.co.th

Another favorite is Tawandang but I'm sure most of you seasoned Bkk travellers know where that is already
enjoy

Re: Eating in Bangkok
 

I like the Good View in Chiang Mai... nice restaurant. Never tried the 1 in Bkk though. I think there's 1 in Samutprakan too.
Tawandang? I never heard before. Please introduce. :)
Lots of nice restaurants in Kasert Nganwongmin too... but my fav still "Ruk En" at Plachacheong cos always alot of pretty ladies. :D

Re: Eating in Bangkok
 

The Good View in Bangkok is very different setting......right alongside the Chao Phaya river and extremely nice and happening

Tawandang is located at address below.....mostly Thai place with great floor shows and comedy. They have their own micro-brewery on premise and you can have a mini barrell at your table.

Last time need 1 week advance booking to get a table there. But nowadays 1 day advance or same day is possible. BUT try not to show up without a reservation or else you likely to end up with a table far far away from the stage

Hi Bro,

So the picture hanging was from the SILOM Branch, no wonder the setting looks different. Anyway, there is also one at the SIAM Square which is diagonally across Novotel. The restaurant is at the corner with western deco that looks like a english PUB. Sorry, forgot the name. The food there quite good & cheap though inside was not brightly lit. Too dim for my liking.

The MK restaurant over there & MBK also serves good roast duck & roast meat. Although they are very "fatty".

The best is still Somboon. Nathong not as good unless you want some atmosphere (live singing & floating restaurant).

BTW, any restaurant in Singapore serves Chilli Crab like they do in Thailand? Their Chilli Crab is simply fabulous (those orange coloured gravy one).

Cheers,
:D

Re: Eating in Bangkok
 

thanks for info.. will check it out next time. :)

btw, now is the start of "kin jei" (eat vegeterian) in Thailand... some kinda buddha festival.... for 10 days.... any recommendations on vegeterian restaurants?

:)

Re: Eating in Bangkok
 

Actually MK is very very popular in Thailand.. every major shopping center also got MK. The roast duck is popular... tim sum are nice too...

Thai style Chilli crab? Have u tried Sembawang Shopping Center? There's a famous Thai restaurant there... boss likes to give discount... but not sure if the taste is same as in Thailand... cos most of the times Thai restaurants in S'pore will cook to suit S'poreans' taste buds....

Or else I guess next best bet will be any restaurants in Golden Mile......

:)

Hi Bro,

I had tried the one at Sembawang Shopping Centre. Last time, it used to be at the basement. The food was OK but not now or should i say, since moving upstairs, it has got from good to lousy. Sorry to say that. The food they serve are not hot & are mass produced. The crab are no where near the Thai standard. I think thay still attracts people was that it is still very cheap.

Think about it, y must they insist us to order food first before we got the seat?

Sorry, a bit off topic here. And lastly, I didn't know that thailand do not serve alcohol during 2 to 5pm. Cos was turned down last time at MK. They say it's the law. Is it true. But I got it from other hotel lounge.

Cheers. :D

Re: Eating in Bangkok
 

thank bro for info on Wat Hua Lumphong.

for me, i love the beef kway tiao at golden mile, the 1st stall next to the lift of the office upstairs. u can choose if u want to have thai kway tiao or sg kway tiao. its really good and cheap, $3. taste and style really like those in thailand.... bring back memories hahahaha. any bro like this stall also?

cheers
fleaz

Re: Eating in Bangkok
 

Yes, there's such law now... I think 7-11 and convenient stores also not allowed to sell alcohol during certain hours... but very funny wan lah... some places sell, some places don't! I think depends on the staffs whether they wanna close 1 eye or not...
Buddha days and certain major holidays they also don't sell alcohol.. but then i was told by some that they'll still serve, but in plastic cup or something and they won't publicly show the alcohol bottle... very funny one... ppl know but they jus keep queit...

jus like prostitution... how many actually know that prostitution is illegal in Thailand? :)

Re: Eating in Bangkok
 

We always go there to eat after our Cheonging session or disco session. Our favourite place for supper. Here can eat and can see see look look.

Re: Eating in Bangkok
 

Now that year end is approaching and the weather becomes cooler in the evenings, if you like to dine by the river, a nice suggestion would be Baan Klangnam. It is a converted old bungalow; nice rustic setting and the prices are reasonable. Another riverside suggestion would be Bua Restaurant at SV City. If you are in Bangkok on New Year''s Eve, try to have dinner at one of the riverside restaurants near the Big 4 Hotels ( Oriental, Shangrila, Sheraton and Marriott ) because they have a 20 minute fireworks display at midnite. This is an annual affair, except for last year when the display was cancelled out of respect for the victims of the Tsunami.

If you are on a corporate account and don't mind paying for the ambience plus good Thai food, one suggestion would be Baan Kanitha at Ruam Ru Di Road near Sukhumvit.

Have fun. :D

Re: Eating in Bangkok
 

Pop by in the afternoon to one of the restaurant in Yaowarat and heard from a local that night time is probably the best time to walk around, as there are many roadside food stores that opens for business at night when the general stores like Jewellery shops closes.

In the end, ordered 1 suckling pig, 1 shark fin soup + other stuff. Charges is 900 baht for the suckling pig. Wonder if it is expensive, even it is considered cheaper than what is offered in Singapore?

But other than that, what can I say, the suckling pig taste wonderful. :p

Re: Eating in Bangkok
 

very good sharks fin and bird's nest AND some of the best Oh-Luat (fried oysters with egg) I have tried is at Nam Seng chinese restraunt on Soi Texas off Yaowarat

You can order birds' nest soup and they will pack it into a thermal container for you to bring back to hotel/singapore

price is good and service is quick

Re: Eating in Bangkok
 

oh! i remember there is a very nice Oh-luat street food stall in hwai kwang. that stall is the 1st time u ate thai Oh-luat. i would say i prefer more than sg style. thinner and more crisy. duno if it is stll there.

cheers
