The Oriental Shops in downtown shopping malls are the delightful alternatives away from the Mandarin Oriental Hotel on Charoenkrung Road. There we found aromatic bakery items and cakes, gourmet sandwiches and salad, premium chocolates, daily home-made ice cream, the Oriental goodies and the hotel's exclusive Mariage Freres teas from Paris.

Oh here comes my favorite MO Shop and Cafe.
Would like to go to the Wed Author's Lounge choco in August.
Wow wow wow wow wow (5 star wow!). Their iced fruit tea is superb, besides my favourite ice cream, tea, coffee, sandwich, cookies, cakes, breads, pate, salad, lemon grass, room fragrance.... Share with you a longevity secret. Their sugar coated almonds is so good and refined that my sister got a very nice facial complexion (light pink red inside) after eating those almonds. However, the sugar coating also got her some weight; so she stopped. Anyway, now that almond is not easy to find.
i know both of u will be excited when seeing the MO Shop post .. so i shall postpone the Author's Lounge post in order to save u from a possible saliva-falling symptom :-)
Yes my friends, MO is the best. Author's Lounge has the best high tea choco buffet I had ever had.
Thank you both for introducing MO and its restaurants. Mo is like opium to me now.
P.S. I need that sugar coated almond too. (No wonder my face is not pinky la.)
You must have been to Author's lounge lately... :)
Stella, re their almond, actually it's not just sugar. It's kind of a brown caramelised sugar. Very good but now quite difficult to find. BTW, their brownie loaf is good too. Mmh.. a long list to name.
Stella, u still haven't tried that China House's dimsum .. otherwise ha ha ha ..
I tried the China House dim sum already. It is only ok considered the price is high.
Classic and not exaggerating. Just to the point, The photos make me feel like I am there. :)
BTW, the 2nd and 3rd soaking of Mariage Ferres tea are even better than the 1st round. :)
Sea, did u bring Stella to China House without my present as she said she did eat their dimsum, or she did it in her dream?
also, China House and Shang Palace (Shangri-la) dimsum price is same
China House even offer a THB 888 net all-you-can-eat dimsum program during weekdays
Mmmh... maybe she went with another local friend :) I didn't, and I was about to ask if they still have the dim sum buffet. Then you gave the answer. Now I have one more item on my agenda. Thanks for the note.
she has a local friend? until end of last year she didn't, but now she really has one, a lawyer
China House is the one with some red Lantern like we are in Beiing right.
I ate their "Har Gou" "Pork Bun" and "Siu Mai" at least two times. One time with Chris only. Another time plus TC too.
Did you get it?
Hint: I did not say I went there to eat their dim sum though.
Gentlemen, I would like to really go inside China House next time to eat the dim sum.
sorry, for breakfast those dimsum r prepared by the Riverside Terrace kitchen, not by China House :-)
China House har-gou is 3 times larger than those u ate during the fish feeding breakfast, and with totally different ingredients; China House uses fresh whole white prawn, not frozen shrimp, so very different gar!!
Yes, yes yes dim sum buffet too. Better make a list of things to do. Actually I don't really like the deco. of China House. It's not in the mood of the whole MO. If it's in Boat Quay (Singapore), then it's fine.
always a professional schedule for the Queen and Prince from LA as i am very pro too
i will add dimsum at China House in her itinerary
last time we didn't eat there because that stupid MO-CH closed during lunch due to low traffic affected by the US lead economic meltdown
I see. It's good that they closed since those dim sum ingredients need to kept fresh. If the flow is not that high, then better drop it and not to ruin their image.
Har, so I did not eat China House dim sum after all huh. What a beautiful misunderstanding for so long.
OK, China House dim sum is a "must eat" in August then.
BTW, please don't forget the flame prawn, the place you brought SEA's sister and also Angel there, but forget to bring me last time la.
Stella, I believe Angel hasn't been there though she mentioned she wanna go. :)
Thank you SEA for the note.
I have not been to this new shop. But the branch at Central Chidlom has my footprint. Before Starbucks landed, I used to meet friends here.
me too, i used to buy sandwich and salad at her Chidlom branch for lunch, and meet associates for coffee and teas
