A hoping place; as the night ages on, it becomes more alive. Shops, food vendors, tuk tuk drivers and customers are coming together, to make the night memorable.
The fish spa or fish for feet, however you call it, has been popular in China for a long while. I don’t know if this starts elsewhere outside of China.

Will not return… But glad I went because their bathroom border / trim tiles #113/136 are identical to my family’s Chee Hsin Tiles, that was produced hundred years ago.
It’s unfortunate that a table of dozen people is having dinner when we walked in. The ground level hall (with a/c) is empty except the party of dozen, with a crying infant (shouldn’t you gtfo?) and a toddler that roams around otherwise empty room. I’ve two children and they knew their limit, going banana in private, like inside the car and at home.
There are four Michelin starred restaurants, we’ve dined with Kroya and Malis first because I like their sophisticated and elegant decor. The decor of this one and Embassy are nothing to write home about. So I don’t have high expectation.
Good service. Nice chopsticks and the rest, made from palm tree, petty blue tableware (although they’re of the same design but the bowl looks better – less is more…) , shabby utensils.
The tasting menu of the north: too much food for two and, this is the deal breaker that I won’t return: just very ordinary homey foods. The low ceiling made the dining experience unappetizing.
Out of the tray, I like the raw veggie, minced pork and rice the best. I learnt one new veggie: wing bean, it may taste better if cooked – I generally don’t like raw beans.
Margarita is ok but the mojito with passion fruit is really good and refreshing: thank you.

Will return.
11:30am, we were the only table. People start to streaming in at 12. Chinese pop songs are being played – not Hong Kong pop, which I consider it more sophisticated.
The high ceiling decor is elegant and sophisticated. I love the intricate and symmetrical lattice wood works.
Great service and delicious clay pots: tofu and bamboo soup, which is the most delicious, light and flavorful. It’s the best among all the soups I’ve had on this tour so far.

Def will return.
One of my favorites restaurants during this trip. I’ve wonderful experience.
When I first passed by this hotel after visiting the little arty market on Oum Khun Street, my first feeling is ‘oh so colonial’. The swing beds seem to move one back in time.
We’ve dinner indoor and afternoon tea out door on the swing bed.
Decor is elegant and classy. The indoor floor to ceiling glass wall offer the full view of the beds and the street.
White linen napkin with black trim, very handsome looking.
Atop a ring of jasmine, is four fat Indian lotus. They must be infatuated with flowers because many of their foods have flowers and leaves.m, that are edible.
Very good stems.
The service is wonderful and the foods are delicious. We’ve two small different tasting menus:
The among of food is fine, would be better if it’s slightly less. The presentation and taste are excellent.
They care enough to ask if we want our dessert immediately or after five minutes.
It’s an 80 degree night, comfortable with or without a thin shawl. We’ve our desserts out on their swing bed. I can see myself falling asleep on it, after a satisfying meal.
