1. the entrance - kind of classy! 2. inside you will see the waiter putting on a local "western" style of uniform.
3. this appetizer dip is awesome. the sauce in the middle is very nice. I crushed the salty egg york in the a little hot sauce (sweet, a bit sour and salty too with the dried shrimp taste). 2. deep fried fish - if you would recall, I often don't like Thai fried fish. However, this one totally changed my view. Even after the fish got cool for a while, the outside is still very crispy and moist inside. So this tells how the chef controls the various stages of oil temperature.
5. stir fried bitter gourd leaves - really good skill quick stir fry at high heat. So the veggie wouldn't be too soft but just done to the right texture. I also found out quite many royal cuisine or high society cuisine are not that salty as compared to those local taste. The local taste tends to be more salty because in the old time the working class people needed to sweat more and accordingly needs more salty food. 6. Kaang Lieng (Kaang means soup or curry type food) - made of pumpkin, gourd and babycorn, mushroom, shrimp, basil, shallot, galingale (南薑), lemongrass. Actually half of the ingredients are quite close to Tom Yum Gong (except Kaffir leave and lime...etc.). Must try!
7. eggplant salad - also a must try! First the eggplant was grilled and then tossed in a vinegar sauce with baby onion (very baby) and shallot. I don't like eggplant much but after grill the strange smell of eggplant was taken away. 8. salim in coconut sweet - can't comment on it as I didn't taste it. Personally I don't like Thai sweet much.

This restaurant looks so grand and the good looks good; it must be expensive.
Who brought you here? This really looks so royal.
How much is the average dish?
Not that expensive. I think we paid around B1,200 for all these dishes. Of course, it's TC who brought me there. Must try!
By the way, they do cook some nice rice!
i don't usually bring friends there though not difficult to go but bad traffic jam to get there
it is near the demonstration (protest) site, just 100 meters away, but to be frank, we just feel nothing unusual there, very safe roaming around, we walk from the pier, through the sanam laung to the restaurant; if we listen to those stupid media we will think bangkok is a war zone, but most stupid is the donald duck government issues a travel warning against thailand, well who say a duck can manage a city, it is the human job isn't it!

Yes, i don't feel anything unusual from my last trip a few weeks ago. The news sometimes is too much on the report. It's not the first time they did that.
Man
So Man you are frequent flyer to BKK too huh. Lucky you.
I remember when the Northridge (in Los Angeles) Quake took place on 17th January, 1994, my HK friend faxed me those newspaper headline saying "Los Angeles became a hell of life". I then told my friend though there were around hundreds of casualties, in general LA is a big land and there are other places which were not seriously affected.
