Xin Tian Di 新天地 Crowne Plaza Bangkok

Finally we could try this restaurant. The must-try dish is their Peking duck. It's roasted so nice and aromatic and yet it's thinly sliced without a thick layer of fat. Somehow in Bangkok the Beijing scallion 京蔥 can't be found. Otherwise, it would be much better to my personal favourite. Another highlight is their tofu dishes (photo 6) and this one reminds me of the one 老皮嫩肉 made by Kiki 老媽 in Taiwan - deep fried tofu first and then soaked in a sweet soy sauce, but this one is with some seaweed to absorb the sauce. Overall, it's good to have a nice Chinese restaurant in Silom area.

yes its Peking duck may be the best of Bangkok! deep-fried home-made tofu is also arguably the best in town!

Peking Duck is my favorite.
I eat this dish 2 times a month in average.
Now in LA lots of restaurants offer $9.99 for a good one.

Har... even Peking duck at 9.99, is it a sizzling duck by the Sizzler's?

The $9.99 Peking Duck is surprisingly good. Very thin and crispy skin with no oil. It is better than those at regular price average around $20 US. Next time I take picture to show you. I went there the first time with Chef Lily in June when they are first opened and she is thrilled. We ordered 10 dishes total $116US.(Her treat and she said too cheap.)
This is a new place called Atlantic Seafood Restaurant located at 500 N. Atlantic Boulevard, Monterey Park, CA 91754. You can tell your friend to try.
Peking Duck and lobster 2 lb is $9.99 promotion price. If you want to enjoy both promo need to order 8 dishes. If just enjoy one promo then order 3 dishes. I went to eat there 6 times already with different groups of friends as i want to show them the good and cheap food. I will treat you here for sure if you come to LA.

Seems like you are really into Peking duck. Mmh.. if I am in LA again, I would like to try Italian or Mexican food.

I have good Italian place to bring you for sure. Good food and good price. Lily Mo and her French husband are thrilled.
Also Mexican food is good here.
OK, this shall be our next project.
