BANGKOK AMAZING GOURMET
.
Orient, not the Oriental
This is a modern Thai restaurant quite well received within the local high-so(ciety) circle renowned for its traditional fare of exquisite recipes from the royal palace.
I really like this Restaurant. Not about her food, but the longer operating hours. I hate most local family restaurants "welcome" customers with an ugly face after 9 pm (as waitress busily painting watercolor on face to prepare a funky trip to hell). Service at the Orient is impeccable; normally this kind of (good) service doesn't exist in a standalone restaurant.
The Orient deserves the Like from facebook!

Oh this one is famous restaurant used to hide inside Sukhumvit and was closed for a while, now open on main street Thonglor. Price very hi-so.
Something sparkling in Somerset building. Busy Thonglor keeps even busier. :)
The tomyumgoong looks very delicious, and the shaved ice is quite appealing.
I like eatery opens late at night.
The food here looks quite good. We shall come here for secret sneak out night meal.
Har.. another secret place. So many already and one even with an explicit name as "Secret Garden".
An additional to the hip hip Thonglor. Next time I will try.
Yes, it is good to know we have so many places for the secret sneak- out meals, or high-tea, or night snacks.
Next time we can do this while TC is taking a nap.
The Tom Yam looks quite nice. TC, Goong-maenam means Prawn - river, or maenam represents the name of the River? Thanks.
maenam = river
Thank you krup.
