Eat Me, for those who want a bit of the West.

Eat Me, for those who want a bit of the West.

Although I had a disappointing lunch at Paste, I was optimistic for dinner at Eat Me, a well-known establishment for cocktails and Western food in Bangkok.  While the venue has previously been included in Asia’s 50 Best, I can understand why it was not included […]

Paste,* #28 on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants.

Paste,* #28 on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants.

Although I’ve fallen off the wagon a bit in supporting women in the kitchen (bad Courtney!), with a late confirmation to Bangkok last week, I only had time for one planned meal.  Looking at what was walking distance from my hotel — the next level […]

The Siam: Modern luxury in BKK.

The Siam: Modern luxury in BKK.

While I certainly don’t mind a chain hotel (the Four Seasons Sayan is still my overall favorite property in the world), I think there’s also a time and place for a smaller, more intimate experience.  While our stay at the W was lovely (those beds!), […]

Gaggan, #23 World’s 50 Best Restaurants, #1 Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants.

Gaggan, #23 World’s 50 Best Restaurants, #1 Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants.

It was with a considerable amount of expectation that I went to Gaggan, the #1 restaurant in Asia’s Top 50 Restaurants for the third year in a row (and currently ranked #23 in the world).  Let me first mention that the entire service team brought […]

The Dining Room at The House on Sathorn: #36 Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants

The Dining Room at The House on Sathorn: #36 Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants

For our culinary adventure across Bangkok, this was what I would consider our most ‘casual’ experience.  To be fair, after as much as we had eaten, the venue was a blessing and the perfect final stop on our foodie tour of the city.  Deciding a […]

Sühring: #13 Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants.

Sühring: #13 Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants.

Where to begin?  As I’m sure you’ve gathered by now, in a city like Bangkok, visitors are absolutely spoiled for new, exciting and modern restaurants, from fine dining to street food (and just about everything in between).  Previous to dining at Sühring, I hadn’t heard […]

Le Du: #37 Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants

Le Du: #37 Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants

First of all, what does it mean? Le Du actually comes from a Thai word – “ฤดู”, a synonym for the word “season” in Thai.  The name reflects an emphasis on our culinary creations out of seasonal produce. Although technically not open for lunch, Le […]

Issaya Siamese Club, #21 Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants.

Issaya Siamese Club, #21 Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants.

It took until day four during my trip to Thailand to actually enjoy Thai food.  I was supposed to go to #5 ranked Nahm, but a wretched food poisoning attack sidelined me from going (and I never get sick like that).  Therefore, coming off of a […]
