Hi TB,

 

Thanks for all these nice reviews :bow:

 

I was looking for a place where they serve green lobster and found Paris Bangkok Co.,Ltd

120 Soi Saladang 1/1

Silom Bangrak 10500

 

But now you mention the Peninsula at 1800 and Next2 at the Shangri-La where I see green lobster turned red after grilling at xxxxpp? (pic 41)

 

I love smoked salmon, but that should not be an issue at any of these places isn't?

 

My GF must try real lobster, I'll be in Montreal in May to fill my belly with lobster but can't imagine bringing some over :shocked:

 

I only have 2 nights stay in Bangkok, so my choices are limited, what (buffet) would you recommend? Money is not an issue.

 

And I saw this strange tripadvisor review of the Peninsula dated 24 March 2011:

 

All together, a very excellent, comfortable establishment. The catering arrangements however were very disappointing for a hotel of this standard. The buffet style breakfast with choice of individually cooked dishes was very good. Facilities and the offerings for light snacks during the day were poor. The Thai and Chinese restaurants were good with excellent food and attentive service but should you prefer 'international' or 'western' food and wine in quality surroundings, that's too bad as the Peninsular's beautiful 'international' restaurant is unfortunately no more. Today, one has to make do either with a few tables around the edge of an over-chilled room housing vast buffet spreads of (uncovered) salads, meats and seafoods or resort to the River Bar outside where a very limited number of western dishes are offered accompanied by river noise and unwanted piped music.

 

Incidentally, has anyone stayed/tried the buffet at Pullman Khon Kaen lately? Rooms reasonably priced at 2600THB

 

Thanks

 

 

The Mandarin Oriental is just a perfect place for that special dinner/Lunch ..we are going there again tonight...

 

Read the dress code ...shirts with collars and long trousers a must ...for the men that is ;)
