2,400 baht for a buffet is insane! Is it really worth the price for a glorified all-you-can-eat?
If you consider the quality and variety of seafood and meats, absolutely. You can’t put a price on culinary excellence!
Fair point, but I’d still rather support local eateries with more affordable options.
This sounds like a dream come true for foodies. I’d love to try their Tomahawk steak someday.
Agreed! The mix of marinades with the Tomahawk steak sounds mouthwatering. Where else can you eat Thai and Argentine flavors in one dish?
I wonder if the seafood is sustainably sourced. It’s important these days to be conscious of the ocean’s resources.
True, though top hotels usually ensure their supplies are sustainably sourced. They’re aware eco-conscious diners are a lot more common now.
The setting is great, but dining there doesn’t really capture the true essence of Bangkok cuisine.
Right, street food is the soul of Bangkok, not expensive buffets. But sometimes it’s nice to splurge and enjoy the view.
That’s true. I guess it just depends what you’re looking for in a dining experience!
I tried it last weekend. The Smoked Texas-Style Brisket was phenomenal. Highly recommend it!
I’m salivating just reading your comment! Can you elaborate more on the soda pop chicken? Sounds unique!
The texture was perfect, juicy with a hint of sweetness. It was like a burst of flavors in every bite.
Sure, it’s expensive, but sometimes you have to pay a premium for the experience and ambiance. Not everything needs to be budget-friendly.
Has anyone experienced the distinct flavor of their maple miso roasted cod? I’m curious how the sweet and savory balance works.
I haven’t, but that combination sounds divine. It’s like East meets West in a single dish. Such innovative cooking piques my interest.
Chilli-citrus marinade on grilled prawns? That’s the kind of fusion I’m into! Sounds spicy yet refreshing!
The children’s discount is a nice touch. Encourages family outings without breaking the bank too much.
Completely agree, it’s nice to see places that remember not everyone is dining solo or as a couple.
Do you think it’s necessary to book ahead, or can you just show up on any given weekend?
I’d say reservations are a must, especially for such a sought-after spot. Better be safe than sorry!
I love the idea of trying different marine bounties from Canadian Lobsters to Alaskan King Crab Legs all in one sitting!
Any chance there are vegetarian options, or is this strictly a carnivores’ feast?
From the sounds of it, it’s pretty heavy on meats and seafood. Probably not much for vegetarians unfortunately.
