Casablanca, Morrocan Restaurant

This restaurant is very nice and is in the Morrocan resort we have been to.

1/2. all the decorations here are all imported.

3. Mango/orange shake - pretty nice. 4. the table

5. a small appetizer - watermelon with balsamic vinegar. 6. Nice tomato dipping.

7. White truffle scallop soup - very nice and it's THB450. 8. Seafood Cousous - a typical Moroccan main course for 2 persons.

9. Guess how much for that Cousous - THB1,800. Some may find it expensive but considering the eating environment and the import seafood, it's quite a reasonable price. 10. a cute tooth picks container.

Yes this retaurant is quite expensive for Thailand standard but it is still cheaper than in HK.

Someone at my home asked me how come they put the toothpicks in the shoe?

I can't tell much from this one. I think I tried only twice for this interesting mini-rice-like food. From the texture of it, I can tell it's quite difficult to cook to a soft but not hard and not too mashy. SS, I have no idea why they put the toothpicks in that mini shoe. Just a decoration thing, I guess.

Stumbled into your blog while surfing for hotels in Thailand. Where is this resort, by the way? Was working in BKK last time, and your blog was very informative and allowed me to keep in touch with the Food scene in BKK.

If you don't mind, I have linked you to my blog. Thanks.

Dear Android, thanks for the comments. Not sure if you would like to know about this restaurant or the other one as I didn't tell the others. Your blog is also interesting. Anyway, if you wanna know more nice restaurants and eating reference, you can go browse thaisclub.blogspot.com which is more comprehensive. Cheers.

Thanks being so kind as to provide me the link to Thailand Club's blog. Looking at the pics in your blogs make me so, so very hungry. I miss the little soi restaurants in Bangkok. Thai Food in Malaysia generally is not up to par. Sigh.....

I gather from your blog that you must be from HK, another foodie's paradise. :D

Yes Sea's blog is very informative as it introduces good food and good resorts in Thailand, as well as in HK and Taiwan and other places in the world. Whereas Thaisclub concentrates all the good foods in Thailand, mainly in BKK. Both blogs are my must read routine daily. Thank you both for the good food, good menu, good photos, good hotels, and good tours free of charge. You are better the Travel and Leisure Megazine.

Android, not only Thai food is good in Bangkok, but also other cuisines are good. I read your section about Crystal Jade next to Lot 10 in KL. Perhaps you may wish to try the Crystal Jade Bangkok, especially the restaurant in Siam Paragon. Crystal Jade's Chinese ramen is not that impressive with that Lot 10 outlet. However, Dragon I (not sure the exact spelling - Chinese as 龍的傳人, meaning the descendants of Dragon) in various malls (the one I tried in the Mid Valley Mall where the Boulevard Hotel is. I think I should re-post that one here. Their Tan Tan Mien is excellent and I think it's even better than those I tried in China.

I must try that Tan Tan Mien thingy at Dragon I then. Was in Bangkok for about 8 years, and had a big ball there. Thai food, Italian food and Frenchie food. Did not blog then, what a waste. Somehow or another, Chinese food has always been neglected during my foodie binges.

I can only speak Cantonese and Hokkien, can't speak Mandarin, and can't read Chinese. Real Ma-lai-chai because I grew up in a Malay village. Had a tough time in China with the menus, so had a lot of hotel food there, unfortunately.

HK was not to bad, at least I speak Malaysian Cantonese, which drew some stares and laughter as well.

Will do a Tan Tan Mien post as soon as possible! Ciao!

That Dragon I has several outlets in KL. The one I tried is next to a hotel in Mid Valley - the other one on another opposite end to Boulevard. Qien Cha Qien Cha you can speak Cantonese in HK. I noted that some older word/idioms are still practised in the Cantonese dialect in KL. Look forward to your comments on Dragon I. Hope they keep in good condition as I haven't been there for 2 years.
