BANGKOK AMAZING GOURMET

Green Bamboo House 綠竹館
A specialty of Chinese provincial cuisine, Green Bamboo House is one of very few quality mainland-Chinese-immigrant-run Chinese restaurants present in Bangkok.
Green Bamboo House dishes are authentic, no trace of any Thai-Chinese recipes! Arguably it is one of the best family-run Chinese restaurant in Bangkok.
Green Bamboo House also offers Chinese provincial mutton hot pot. Chinese (authentic) hot pot focus on the ingredients, say fresh and live ingredients. Unlike Thai-Chinese hot pot joints, Green Bamboo House doesn't serve frozen seafood.

Green bamboo at Chongnonsi/silom. Await your updates. :)
Glad to see something new again.
Stay tuned.
Though the name of the restaurant is with "Taiwan" but the food looks from Northern to Southern Chinese... Interesting place.
because, the original owner is a Taiwanese lor!
so this Green Bamboo place is quite Taiwanese style CN northern provincial cuisine, just fit my tongue and taste buds :)
Yes this gorgeous hot pot restaurant is very authentic Taiwanese. The dishes here have lots of varieties and they look so fresh.
I cannot believe you have live frog too. Live frog in hot pot rice is my favorite here in LA(of course it is frozen frog).
Live frog is good for people who sweat at night, particularly the sweat with no salty taste type(tam hong). However, don't over eat frogs as there are many parasites in frogs. Twice a month is ok la.
Good if it's Taiwanese because the real Sichuan or mainland hot pot tends to be quite oily.
I did see some frogs in some shops but not on the table. Now it's good to get some. Also drunken prawn!
right, Taiwan style CN northern cuisine is considered the refine one, use of better ingredients, less oily, and more tasty :)
You guys are right. I hate those hot pot from Mainland China such as the "Little Fat Sheep", a famous brand name hot pot chain from Beijing.
The food is so oily and the herb smell is so strong.
Oh.. SS, don't know there is one "Little Fat Sheep" shop in LA. Their soup base is awful. They only know "garlic". Last time I dug out almost 1 catty of garlic from the pot and I told my friends too much garlic would be too hot in character. I really don't like that shop at all. What I guess why they use a lot of garlic may be it's to cover up the smelly food which are not fresh enough.
not only those mainland chefs use too much cooking oil, but also exceed use of salt and msg, when spicy is about the dish, they use cheap cheap chili oil
Conrad Bangkok has mainland chefs in the CN outlet, not only i couldn't eat, but also (all) my Thai friends; what we found in the dish was strong msg, heavy seasoning but no culinary skill at all
Mmmh.. msg in the 60/70's chefs culinary class means "master"; so that's the way they got taught. Msg was invented in the 60/70's and if you would notice most old chefs before or after the period wouldn't rely too much on msg. BTW, there are 2 types of msg. One is made in natural way by taking some essence from cane and Aji Nomoto is the one. The other one is the artificial one and very chemical. The former one has been proved to be good for brain, but of course, not in a big amount. So some natural msg is good.
The cooking oil is very important. We can order some deep fried food to see how good the restaurant is and if they use some nice cooking oil.
I am surprised that Conrad hired such a chef in ruining their name. Quite disappointing.
maybe those farang f&b and gm think Chinese kitchen shall run by real Chinese from the Mainland!
Correct but only if they can hire those skillful chefs leaving the Mainland for Taiwan and Hong Kong in the late 40's to 60's/70's or their descendants.
