Siam Elephant

[Sarisin]

I like discovering new restaurants, especially Thai restaurants. Usually

 

when I hear about one, I like to stop by and check it out. Recently, I

 

visited Siam Elephant with one of my straight Thai girls - with her very

 

attractive cousin in tow.

 

 

 

Siam Elephant is located on Soi 1 (actually the corner of Soi 1 and Soi

 

Nantar). South Sathorn Road - not very far from the Rama IV/Sathorn Road

 

intersection.

 

 

 

The restaurant is rather small (12 tables inside the air-conditioned

 

restaurant) and 4 outside next to a very nice garden and fountain.

 

 

 

The entire menu consists of popular Thai dishes with a slant towards healthy

 

fare. It reminded me a bit of the Whole Earth Restaurant on Soi Lang Suan.

 

They do have a vegetarian menu. Their desserts, for example, were very

 

interesting. We tried three different ice cream flavors - lemongrass,

 

mulberry leaves, and coconut. All were good.

 

 

 

The prices were not cheap, but you would not break the bank eating here. For

 

example, soft-shell crab dishes (popular and very good here) were around 120

 

baht each.

 

 

 

My two female companions really loved the place and asked me when I would be

 

taking them back again. I enjoyed the food too. They are having a 20% off

 

lunch promotion now, but I'm not sure how long that might last.

Great review. Would win 2,000 Baht as nobody else has yet posted anything near a rerview in August. But you are too rich.......!!!!!

 

Mind you somebody else has got a day to write a review.

aldente thanks for your comment, but not about the being rich part.

 

 

 

Actually, this is easy for me because I probably hit a dozen or so different restaurants each month, and I like to try out the new ones as they open.

 

 

 

BTW, any money won by me goes to the Khun Sanuk Server Fund.

 

 

 

When I have the time, the enjoyment I get out of writing is enough for me.

 

 

 

Oops, I hope KS doesn't read this or my paysite 'salary' will disappear.

DID I WIN? DID I WIN?

 

 

 

C'mon, Mr. Al 'firm, but not tough' Dente. Who won the big prize for August?

 

 

 

If I did indeed win, please forward the princely sum of 2,000 B to the Khun Sanuk Server Fund as I mentioned previously.

 

 

 

And, please, don't be buying me any more of that sickly, sweet cherry juice at Angelwitch. Ptah!
