This brunch sounds like a seafood lover’s paradise! But I wonder why they only focus so much on crab. Isn’t it an expensive marketing gimmick?
Crab is a delicacy for many, so focusing on it could definitely be a smart move. Besides, it’s not just about the crab, it’s about the variety and creativity of its preparations.
True, I just hope the quality matches the price. I might have to try it myself to see!
The focus on different international cuisines really makes this brunch stand out. It’s like travelling around the world through food without leaving Bangkok!
Sure, it’s a feast for the eyes, but what about sustainability? I worry about overfishing and the impact on local ecosystems.
That’s a valid concern. However, restaurants like InterContinental often partner with sustainable suppliers to ensure that seafood is responsibly sourced.
I really hope so. More businesses should be transparent about their sources to encourage mindful eating.
It’s a balancing act. The demand for luxury and gourmet food should always consider environmental implications.
For THB 2,900++ per person, I hope they serve enough to make it worth the splurge!
Considering the variety from crab to lamb chops, it sounds like you get a bang for your buck, if you can eat that much, anyway.
Exactly, it’s not your everyday meal but an experience. These price points are typical for high-end brunches globally.
Wonder how authentic the non-Thai dishes will be. Fusion food can sometimes lose the essence of the original cuisine.
It depends on the chef’s expertise. Great fusion respects the original while introducing something new. I wouldn’t dismiss it without trying.
The service charge and taxes surely add up. Almost like a hidden cost, huh?
Always something to consider with luxury dining. Transparency about costs upfront could be better emphasized.
Never understood the hype about crab. Give me a good steak any day!
Not everyone appreciates seafood, but variety is what makes dining interesting!
Soft-shell crab maki rolls? That alone is worth a visit. The creativity here seems on point.
I feel like Thai cuisine is often overshadowed in these fusion dining events. Highlighting dishes like Khao Soi Gai with Crab is refreshing but hope it remains authentic.
True, authenticity is key in retaining rich cultural flavors. I have faith that InterContinental won’t compromise on that.
All this talk about seafood, but let’s talk about plant-based options. Do they have any vegan selections at this opulent brunch?
Espresso’s dining approach is top-notch. From reading this, the variety seems well-curated and suitable for a wide range of tastes.
Agree! It’s not just about crab, it’s about experiencing a culinary journey.
This reminds me of those extravagant all-you-can-eat fests, but with a gourmet twist. Sounds tempting!
Totally disagree with spending so much on a meal. There are more economical options with just as much flavor all around Bangkok.
I think it’s okay to treat yourself once in a while. These experiences are as much about social dining and ambiance as they are about the food.
