I had the Braised River Prawn last weekend, and it was totally worth the price!
Really? THB 2,088++ for a single dish is outrageous! You could get the same thing at a local market for half the price.
You’re paying for the experience and quality, not just the food. Chef Tan is renowned for a reason.
Exactly, Michael! The flavors and presentation were impeccable. It’s not just a meal; it’s an experience.
I really want to try the Wok-Fried River Prawn with Madras Curry Paste. Sounds divine!
It is! Chef Tan’s use of fresh herbs really elevates the dish. You won’t be disappointed.
But what about the spice level? Is it overwhelming?
No, it’s perfectly balanced. It’s spicy but not overbearing. Just the right kick!
I can’t justify spending that much on seafood, even if it’s ‘premium’.
Is it kid-friendly? I’d love to bring my family, but my kids are picky eaters.
I took my kids, and they loved the crispy egg noodles! Just ask for milder dishes.
If your kids are picky, maybe this isn’t the best choice. Too expensive for them to not enjoy it.
The fusion of traditional and innovative flavors sounds intriguing. Can’t wait to try it!
Tried all four dishes on the menu. Honestly, the Slow-Cooked River Prawn with Mung Bean Noodles was the best. Unmissable!
Was it too oily? I’ve had mixed experiences with slow-cooked dishes being greasy.
Not at all! Chef Tan nailed the balance. It was rich but not greasy.
THB 2,088++ per dish is a bit much for me. Are there any discounts or deals?
You might find some deals through hotel booking websites or membership promos.
I hope they offer wine pairings. Anyone knows?
Yes, they do! The sommelier can recommend excellent pairings to complement the dishes.
Great! That definitely adds value for me. Thanks!
Are the prawns sustainably sourced?
They are! Shangri-La has a strong commitment to sustainable sourcing for their seafood.
Doesn’t change the fact that this is all way overpriced.
Can’t wait to try this. Chef Tan always delivers amazing dishes!
River prawns? Sounds like a gimmick. Just get some regular prawns and save your money.
River prawns have a distinctive flavor and texture. Absolutely worth it if you’re a seafood lover.
I had a meal there last year, and it’s definitely a high-end experience. You get what you pay for.
Does anyone know if you need to make a reservation well in advance?
I recommend booking at least a week ahead. They tend to get fully booked quickly.
