River Cafe, Peninsula Bangkok

It's been 8 years I haven't been to this hotel after the most horrible experiences.  Supposed I should have deleted this hotel for good.  However, I heard from a friend about having a 50% discount of the buffet (about THB1,300 net per person after this discount) of the main restaurant.  As when I stepped in the restaurant, it was about 5-10% occupancy.  The below photos also told how quiet of this place.  The raw oyster was very tiny and some of them not so fresh.  So I just picked 2.  The sashimi was good though.  The hot food was a bit too dried out or mashy because the customers flow didn't make it in a fresh rotation.  The grill wasn't too nice and the chef was quite careless from not cooking the seafood properly.  The squid was quite watery inside.  The ice cream reminded me of TWG.  It could stay unmelted for an hour.  The fruit selection was quite limited with only papapa, water melon and dragon fruit.  The cake was good.  So if you come here for a dinner buffet, better just take the sashimi, salad and cake.

Attitude Lasalle, Bearing, BKK

The U hotel group in BKK has been dong quite well with expansions to Phuket, Pattaya.  Besides, it is also developing into the property business.  Attitude brand is one of their developments.  The 1 bedroom plus is a bit smaller but it's still a good choice.  The selling price is about THB2.8 millions.  The condo. is about 700 m. away from the BTS stop Bearing.  One of the good points is that this condo. is in a low rise design and situated in a quiet area inside the soi 107.

Ros'niyom, Emporium, BKK

Quite a pleasant surprise with this branch.  Tried their stewed pig's knuckle, somtam, green curry chicken, deep fried split chicken wings, herbal jelly, noodle soup in fermented tofu sauce.  All were very nice except the herbal jelly.

Panoramic Bangkok skyline, view from Chang Erawan

It was such a clear sky that I could have this panoramic view of Bangkok.  I could see Kasikorn Bank (on the far left), then State Tower, Empire Bldg/Mahanakorn, Baiyoke Tower and Sukhumvit on the right end.

貼閣碧（Tie Ge Bi), Ningbo local cuisine

Tried a preserved veggie (like 梅菜) as the appetizer.  Though it's a bit salty, it was very rich in the preserved veggie flavour and it went well with the veggie rice porridge.  The next one is the house's signature dish - deep fried yellow fish filet in bean curt sheet.  Very impressive with this one as it's very moist inside but ultra crispy outside.  It's just HK$60 for this dish.  The mixed casserole was awesome too.  The shrimp was semi-sun dried - reminded me of my childhood in the fishing village.  The dessert was not to be missed - mini sticky rice dumplings in wine rice sweet.  A very big portion but just HK$25 (good for 8 servings).
