Tomcat Eats OutThe best restaurant reviews. Mainly by Tomcat but we'll move any well written reviews here too.
As ever, sponsored by the very lovely Chris at Oh My Cod!
After reading my enthusiastic review yesterday, SD insisted on lunch there today. So, sitting at the same garden view table and noting the giant metallic sow browsing contentedly among the shrubs, we started with salads. SD had the rocket, tomato and Italian sausage and I had sea crab, avocado and asparagus. SD's was a tad heavier due to the excellent sausage, but delicious, bathed as it was in a light balsamic vinagrette. Mine was drizzled with an orange-honey dressing that was superb. I'm happy to announce that the table bread situation improved and our waitstaff approached competent, if a bit eager on the wine refills. We shared a Parma ham pizza for the main course. It was tasty (especially the ham), though the crust was not up to the standard we prefer at Scoozi on Thong Lor. Still, it was light and we enjoyed it. We ended with a shared tiramsu: fairly ordinary...no coffee liquor for added flavor.
Checkbin:B1900 (with 3 glasses of house red at B180 each).

Can highly recomend Rossini’s in the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit... Excellent Food and a great atmosphere. You can also get Italian cooking lessons there from the excellent Chef Gaetano Palumbo. ..thay are also highly recommended.
Would like to see what you think of it.
Regards

I'll second Rossini's. Outstanding food and a great spot to impress someone. Do note however that if you do not have one of the discount cards (they accept a few), it can be expensive. Dinner for 2 can easily run 4,000 baht and if you had a bottle of wine, add a MINIMUM of 1,000 baht.
The one thing that puts me off returning in a hurry is that they just upped their corkage charge from 500 baht to 1,000 baht.

With no disrespect to the erstwhile and (I'm sure) fabulously coutured TC, I cannot let that thrown gauntlet lay idle. Here then, is WilliamBlake's Digestable Diary...
The cafeteria at my not-quite-greystone University is a short and not unpleasant walk from my offit. The queue for the Southern Thai influenced pre-fab home made dishes is long, but if one is not ordering a-la-carte, one can skip the queue and order a chef's special of cleavered pork (complete with crackling) and Isaan sausage over a rather bland but comforting rice. Sliced cucumber is provided, as is a delectable tangy dark red sauce of unknown origin, to drizzle over the medallions of meat. A further, very generous helping of home made soy and chilli sauce is provided, to give the rice more piquancy. The wine list is somewhat lacking, but this patron chose to partake of a cheeky little Coke poured over free ice in a tall plastic tumbler. Said beverage introduced aggressively onto the palatte and followed with bubbly, carbonated charm, to a syrupy finish.
The plein-air setting was somewhat hampered by an unusually large number of quite persistent flies on this particular day, and two dogs fought rather too audibly among the tables. One also noticed a lack of any sort of dinner music. The babble of one's fellow diners was relatively melodious however, and the patrons were of the young and shiny crowd, whom one hopes to be surrounded by in these types of nosheries.
I shall certainly make a point of dining there again. Probably tomorrow. And the next day. And the day after that. And the day after that...

Exactly what is needed...(though I assume the thread function is broken on your machine, WB)...tell the ravening masses what you've eaten, why you liked it (or didn't), unusual features of the dish, restaurant, waitstaff, ambience, etc., where it is and how much you paid. I go to the restaurants I prefer and they're obviously not to everyone's taste (or pocket). Although WB is posting tongue in cheek, I think we need to read about the full panoply of restaurants/snack bars/7-11s, etc that Ajarn diners frequent.
Lots of places have been mentioned (on OTHER threads as THOSE posters were FAR too polite to trespass here), but there appears to be little follow-up (trips to the emergency room, nearby pharmacies , etc).
We can do more to uncover BKK's fabulous (and not so) dining experiences. Think of it as homework....
