Mezzaluna

Restaurants in Silom are a hot topic at the moment for any food-lover in Bangkok. Fine-dining venues have been popping up in this lively area on a regular basis over the past few years, and the trend doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Many of the best restaurants in Silom have renowned chefs plying their trade in the kitchen, inevitably helping them gain international recognition throughout Thailand and the rest of Asia. Silom is also well-known for its abundance of delicious street food, mostly catering towards the sea of workers who spill out of the nearby offices at lunchtime and in the evenings. However, for the best of what Silom has to offer in the way of fine Thai and international dining - often in some rather stylish and contemporary settings - look no further than our list of the Top 10 Restaurants in Silom.

1. Mezzaluna Bangkok at lebua

Mezzaluna Bangkok is a truly exceptional fine dining restaurant located on the 65th floor of Tower Club at lebua. Famed for its set menus that come in four or seven courses only, Mezzaluna impresses with a new daily menu of world-class haste cuisine prepared by a visionary chef. Chef Ryuki Kawasaki has worked his way around the world in a game of ‘who’s who’ with culinary giants including Pierre Gagnaire and Joel Robuchon, so it’s fair to say we had sky-high expectations on our latest visit – all of which were exceeded with aplomb. This is an expensive restaurant (4,900 baht for 4 courses, 5,900 baht for 7 courses), but if you are looking to dazzle someone on a special occasion, Mezzaluna has it all. 

Opening Hours: Tuesday to Sunday - 18:00 to 01:00 (last order 22:30

Location: Lebua Hotel

BTS: Saphan Taksin

Tel: +66 (0) 2624 9802

2. Le Du

From their incredible octopus with crab mayo and chorizo to their raw Wagyu beef salad, as well as their melt-in-the-mouth marinated oysters, Le Du restaurant boasts a creative, innovative and ever-changing seasonal menu (‘Le Du’ means season in Thai). Le Du defines their lunch menu as ‘European bistro’, but dinner is a whole other concept, which could loosely be described as innovative haste cuisine. The restaurant space is relaxed, sleek and comfortable but on the whole quite plain, paving way for the astonishing food to do all the talking. Prices for the four-course menu start at a very reasonable 990 baht, although if you have a big appetite and want to fully explore the culinary delights of Le Du, go for the full seven courses at just over 1,500 baht. A true Bangkok dining experience for those who appreciate bold, skilfully prepared cuisine. 

Opening Hours: Monday to Friday 11:30 - 14:30; Monday to Saturday 18:00 – 23:00

Address: 399/3 Silom Soi 7, Bangkok

Tel: +66 8307 36860 and +66 8156 26464

3. Eat Me

With a name as risqué as ‘Eat Me’, you would hope that the food at this stylish Silom restaurant would justify such a bold name. With a packed house every night, rave reviews from critiques across town, and a consistent place in Pellegrino’s ‘Top 50 Restaurants in Asia’ list (as well as our own Top 20 list), Eat Me clearly delivers something special. Doubling up as an art gallery with new exhibitions every three months, the international menu at Eat Me has an emphasis on the seafood, including razor clams, mussels and shrimps served up in a variety of imaginative ways. They also do an incredible roasted leg of lamb for sharing and their beef tagine will take you all the way to the streets of Morocco. Look at for the swanky two-storey white house on Convent Road, just a short walk from Sala Daeng BTS. 

Opening Hours: 15:00 - 01:00

Address: 1/6 Pipat Soi 2, Convent Rd, Silom

Tel: +66 (0) 2 238 0931

4. L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon

L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon Bangkok opened in early 2015 and sent shockwaves through the dining scene in Thailand. Serving French haute cuisine with a focus on meticulous preparation of taste, texture and style, this is the latest addition to the prestigious restaurant group run by Joël Robuchon, a man who has been called ‘Chef of the Century’ by the Gault Millau guide – and with an unparalleled 28 Michelin stars awarded to his restaurants across the world it’s hard to argue with his pedigree. Although Joel himself is not in the kitchen on a daily basis (he visits frequently and has famously high standards), the kitchen is headed by Executive Chef Olivier Limousin, who previously ran the kitchen at the two Michelin starred restaurant L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon in London. 

Opening Hours: Lunch 11:30 - 14:30, Dinner 18:30 - 22:30 Everyday

BTS: Chong Nonsi, exit 3

Address: 5th Floor, MahaNakhon CUBE

Tel: +66 (0)2 001 0698

5. La Table de Tee

La Table de Tee ticks all the boxes when it comes to fine dining in Bangkok. Firstly, their five-course menu is utterly delicious, well-presented and at just over 1,000 baht per person, doesn’t break the bank either. French cuisine is the overwhelming inspiration of most of the dishes, although head chef ‘Tee’ was born in Thailand and trained in England, so expect more complex flavors to be incorporated into his ever-changing, ever-impressing menu. The choice of what to eat is flexible and you’ll generally be presented with a range of soups, risottos, meat-based mains and a couple of exquisite French desserts to choose from. Although a little hidden down a small road near Sala Daeng BTS, La Table de Tee is growing in popularity by the day. Book ahead, especially if you want a table at the weekend. 

Opening Hours: Tuesday – Sunday, 18:30 - 22:00

Address: 69/5 Soi Sala Daeng, Silom Road, Bangkok

Tel: +66 (0)2 6363220

6. Scarlett Wine Bar and Restaurant

Good views and an even better menu of international delights seem to be a winning combination for Scarlett, a critically acclaimed restaurant lying 37 floors up at the Pullman Hotel Silom in Bangkok. Occupying almost an entire floor of this five-star hotel, designers of Scarlett have spared no cost on the decor, with an abundance of warm wooden flooring, huge windows taking advantage of the view and a rather swanky central bar with thousands of glasses dangling from above. The architect of Scarlett’s menu is 2-Michelin chef Manuel Martinez, so it’s no surprise that the menu is exotic, creative and uses some of the world’s finest local and imported ingredients. Expect mouth watering and intriguing additions to their menu such as lobster caesar salad, slow-roast rack of lamb, bone marrow with shallots, and Pacific Ocean snow fish. Scarlett’s comprehensive wine list features over 150 reds and whites from around the world too. Starters and desserts are around 300 baht whilst most mains are in the 400-800 baht price bracket. 

Opening Hours: 18:00-01:00 (Daily)

Location: Pullman Bangkok Hotel, 37th Floor, 188 Silom Road

Tel: (+66) 2238 1991

7. Somtum Der

Somtum Der is a more humble addition to our Top 10 Restaurants in Silom list, but that doesn’t mean their north-eastern Thai favourites won’t leave you wowed. ‘Som tam’ is the name of the game here, a popular papaya salad bursting full of flavour with an outrageous combination of spice (chilli), sourness (lime juice), sweetness (palm sugar) and touch of saltiness (fish sauce). We counted over 15 variations of the salad on their menu including with salted egg, extra shrimps or grated coconut instead of papaya. Order your som tam with some sticky rice (kow niow) alongside their range of meaty delights including nam tok moo (spicy pork salad), suea rong hai (barbecued beef with a dip) or gai yang (grilled chicken). Although there are a thousand other equally delicious restaurants in Bangkok serving up pretty much the same thing, Somtum Der wins extra marks for its lively open kitchen area, trendy two-storey interior (with air-con), quick service and great central Silom location. 

Opening Hours: 11:00-22:00 Daily

Address: 5/5 Soi Saladaeng, Silom Rd.

Tel: 02-632-4499, 084-764-4291

8. Namsaah Bottling Trust

One of Bangkok’s most instantly recognisable restaurants (it’s set in a bright pink house), Namsaah Bottling Trust opened in 2014 and is the creation of Thai celebrity chef Ian Kittichai. ‘Chef Ian’ is a Thai food expert and entrepreneur who has already set up restaurants in New York and Mumbai. He is also the brainchild behind Bangkok’s critically acclaimed Issaya Siamese Club, just a short drive away in Sathorn. As for Kittichai’s brightest creation to date, the food, just like at Issaya, is classic Thai with a twist. With the menu featuring the likes of pad Thai with foie gras and their interesting phad kapraow (fried Thai basil) burger, ‘classic Thai with a twist’ could well be interpreted as ‘fusion food’. However, don’t let that put you off: Namsaah’s creations work superbly well, impressing both foreign guests as well as local diners with more discerning opinions on Thai cuisine. Away from the food, Namsaah has an equally innovative range of cocktails and hosts live DJs on the weekends. 

Opening Hours: 17:00 - 00:00 (daily)

Address: 401 Soi Sirijullassayvok (aka Silom Soi 7) Silom, Bangkok

Tel: +66 2 636 6622

9. Indigo

Indigo restaurant on Bangkok’s Convent Road is a long running French eatery that sticks firmly to tried-and-tested recipes, leaving any French citizen yearning for a trip back to their homeland. Classic dishes, a warm and welcoming atmosphere and efficient service have all contributed to the steady success of this now well-known Silom restaurant. The pretty, colonial-style house features a cosy dining area with plenty of wooden touches, whilst the air-conditioning makes this space a perfect getaway from the oppressive Bangkok heat during the day. At night when the temperatures subside, many prefer to dine al fresco in the the romantically lit garden area. Recommended dishes include their rabbit stew with white wine, pan friend sea bass, steak tartare, and don’t forget to slurp up one of their fresh oysters which are imported in twice-weekly. 

Opening Hours: 11:30 - 01:00

Address: 6 Convent Road, Silom

Tel: 02-235-3268

10. Daimasu Izakaya

For a taste of Tokyo right in the heart of Silom, look no further than Daimasu Izakaya. From the traditional decor, Japanese-speaking waiters, right down to the imported ingredients and booze all the way from The Land of the Rising Sun, there are few Japanese restaurants in Bangkok that rival Daimasu’s authenticity. The concept is modern Japanese barbecue, which means you’re sat down at a table with your very own grill and cooking appliances. The modern element comes in the form of a ventilation pipe: essentially a giant vacuum cleaner that hovers above your grill sucking up all the smoke keeping the small restaurant fresh and free from barbecue fumes. On the menu is a serious choice of meat, seafood and vegetables for the non-carnivores. Overall, Daimasu Izakaya is a relaxed and fun dining experience, even more so if you explore their comprehensive range of sake. 

Opening Hours: Lunch: 11:30 - 14:00 - Dinner 18:00 - 23:00

Location: Daimasu, 9/3 Soi Tan Tawan., Surawong Road, Bangkok

Tel: +66 (0)2 634 1477

10 Best Nightlife You Can Experience in Singapore

10 Best Nightlife You Can Experience in Singapore

By Unknown   1:18:00 AM   No comments:

Zouk

The best nightlife in Singapore is center around the city center, meaning that you can quite easily have a slap-up meal on Club Street in Chinatown, head to Marina Bay for a cocktail (whilst lapping up the view), and then end up dancing the night away at Clarke Quay – all in the same evening.

Convenience is not Singapore’s only strong point either. In recent years, the Lion City has been shaking off its reputation as being a sterile, overpriced hub of commerce, thanks in no small part to the ever-growing popularity of some internationally renowned nightclubs, not to mention some spectacular rooftop bars that keep popping up around the city.

As well as all the best venues, we have pointed you in the direction of the liveliest after-dark areas, including Clarke Quay and Orchard Road - all of which can be found in our list of the 10 Best Nightlife in Singapore.

1. Clarke Quay

 Any discussion about where to go for evening drinks in Singapore usually starts here. A favourite amongst locals and tourists, Clarke Quay is gifted with one of the best locations in the city, set around a picturesque body of water in the shadow of the towered CBD skyline in the background. Row upon row of swanky bars and restaurants line the colourful boulevards offering great alfresco dining, whilst clubs like Attica and Zirca appease the more bass-music inclined. Oh, and there’s a Hooters.

2. Marina Bay Sands

Since its opening in 2010, the iconic three-pronged Marina Bay Sands has been a real focal point of Singapore. Not only does it look the part, but this massive complex is also a great place to hit after dark – and for so many reasons. Take, for example, the uber-cool CE LA VI bar (formerly KU DÉ TA) on the 57th floor, or the 15,000 sqm, 24-hour casino. There’s also a shopping mall on the ground floor as well as a 360 degree observation deck right at the top.

3. Zouk

 For Singapore’s dance music lovers, Zouk is an institution. This awarding-winning venue has been at the forefront of the club scene in the city for over two decades, with the likes of David Guetta, The Chemical Brothers and Tiesto among the list of international DJs to ply their trade here. The massive converted warehouse is actually three interconnecting clubs all in one, and the young, less pretentious crowd (compared to some of the please-look-at-me clubs in town) happily jump from zone to zone to experience the diverse music policy each night. 

4. Rooftop Bars

Similar to its eastern neighbors (Bangkok, Tokyo, Hong Kong etc), rooftop bars in Singapore are booming, and all share one thing in common: spectacular views of one of the most iconic skylines in the world. 1-Altitude is the highest of the bunch, and as the night progresses it offers more of a club-vibe than that of its main rival, the more laid-back and luxurious KU DÉ TA at Marina Bay Sands. Others that are worth a mention are Level (highest craft brewery in the world), and Kinki – a real sushi-lovers’ favorite.

5. Orchard Road

Although Orchard Road is better known for its malls rather than its pubs, as soon as the weary shoppers head home, the party animals come out to play. After dark, the whole area becomes teeming with sophisticated bars, lavish pre-party lounges and the odd fully-fledged club (Club Sonar at TAB). Be sure to check out Emerald Hill Road behind Orchard Central too. This pretty little strip is packed full of quaint 100-year-old buildings and makes a great stop for a cheeky post-mall cocktail or draft beer.

6. Sentosa Beach Bars

 Don’t want to wait until after dark to start the party? Then your best bet is to head to Sentosa Island, which is home to some sumptuous Ibiza-style beach bars. Things kick off around mid-afternoon and weekend parties will often run through to the small hours. For the liveliest spots, head to Azzura Beach Club or Tanjong Beach Club which holds monthly beach parties like Smack My Beach Up and Full Steam Ahead. It’s a way off Thailand’s legendary Full Moon Party, but still lots of fun. 

7. Club Street – Chinatown

Some consider Singapore’s Chinatown to be a bit of a hermit when it comes to nightlife. Head to Club Street, however, and you’ll soon be persuaded otherwise. The ‘up and coming’ tag has been slapped on this foodie paradise for years, and it seems to have finally emerged as one of the city’s best culinary and nightlife hotpots. Rows of plush fine-diners sit next to bustling bars, all full to the brim with office workers every weeknight – whilst groups of friends and couples usually save their visit for the weekend.

8. Holland Village

Holland Village is another neighborhood in Singapore that loves to flaunt its alter-ego as soon as the sun goes down. Due to its more out-of-town location, this popular nightlife spot draws in more of a local crowd, as well as a good helping of expats who’ve made the Lion City their home. The main stretch of nocturnal activity happens along ‘Lorong Mambong’, where you’ll find some cool and quirky pop-up bars, fancy alfresco restaurants and the occasional street party.

9. Geylang

Don’t let the fact that this is Singapore’s main red light district put you off; Geylang has plenty of innocent(ish) nightclubs and bars welcoming customers who are only interested in buying drinks, rather than anything else. That said, the seedy-side of this notorious district is difficult to ignore. ‘Massage’ parlous, dodgy karaoke joints and hostess bars line the streets south of Geylang Road. Look out for the bright neon signs, often in Chinese or Japanese, so you can avoid (or enter at your own risk).

10. Gardens by the Bay

Not all night time activities in Singapore involve dining in luxury restaurants and knocking back champagne on rooftops; Gardens by the Bay is testimony to that fact. Whilst in the daytime this futurist park of giant tree structures is a quite the spectacle, at night it takes on a whole other level. The towering 50-meter-tall trees within the ‘Super tree Grove’ are brilliantly illuminated with a kaleidoscope of colors making for a memorable experience. The show starts around 8pm and is completely free (unless you want to use the Sky walk).

What You Can Eat in Cambodia

What You Can Eat in Cambodia

Khmer Fish Amok

“A typical Cambodian meal would normally consist of a soup, a salad, a main fish dish, vegetables and rice. A Cambodian dessert, normally based on fresh fruits and sticky rice, complement the meal.” 

The beauty of Cambodia goes far beyond the famous Angkor Wat ruins or the charm of the Khmer people’s simple life style. The country’s food culture is also not to be missed. In the Khmer diet, rice and freshwater fish play big roles because of the abundance of both. Cambodia has two main sources of natural fresh water, the Mekong river and the Tonle Sap, a huge lake connected to the Mekong. In the monsoon season, The Tonle Sap floods some 16,000 square kilometers of the country, irrigating rice fields and providing breeding grounds for fish. 

Khmer food takes influences from a variety of countries. Cambodia was a French colony for many years and also has many Chinese immigrants, so both French and Chinese foods are widely found. In the west of the country, the cuisine is, naturally, influenced by the food of neighbouring Thailand while in the east the flavors of Vietnamese cuisine are more evident.

Coastal towns such as Sihanoukville in the southwest are famous for their seafood, cooked in many styles, including Japanese and European. Common ingredients in Khmer cuisine are similar to those found in other Southeast Asian culinary traditions – rice and sticky rice, fish sauce, palm sugar, lime, garlic, chilies, coconut milk, lemon grass, galangal, kaffir lime and shallots.

Typical Khmer Dishes

Fish Amok (steamed coconut fish in banana leaves)

In the Khmer diet, rice and freshwater fish play big roles because of the abundance of both. Amok is national dish, made from fish, coconut milk and curry paste. All the ingredients are mixed together and put in banana leaf cups with coconut cream on top, then steamed. Another common form is amok chouk – snails with curry steamed in their shells. Best served with a plate of hot rice.

Samlor Machu Trey (sweet and sour soup with fish)

This dish is popular in many households in Cambodia as it’s not only easy to make but it also has a lovely taste. Its ingredients include fish, garlic, lemongrass, celery, tamarind juice, bean sprouts, pineapple and seasoning with sugar, fish sauce, and salt. Many people also add some fresh green herbs and hot chili pepper on top before serving.

Char kroeung Sach Ko (Stir-fried lemongrass beef)

This popular Cambodian stir-fry is another common dish found throughout the country. After put beef in the heat oil with garlic, stir fry until the beef become tender. Then add vegetables such as red peppers and onion as well as the kroeung mixture. Kroeung is lemongrass paste which is considered very healthy, made from a variety of Asian herbs such as lemongrass (known to have a benefit in lowering acne and pimples), kaffir lime leaves and galangal.

Twa Ko (Cambodian sausage)

Twa ko is a Cambodian sausage made from beef or pork and various spices. Just like any good homemade sausage, the authentic Khmer sausage contains at least 20-25% fat. Some prefer to use pork belly as the main ingredient; it definitely serves the purpose well. Twa ko can be enjoyed on its own in barbecued, grilled or pan-fried style or served with steamed rice and fresh vegetables.

Nom banh chok (Khmer noodles)

Many locals start their day with nom banh chok, a popular dish known as Khmer noodles in English.

It consists of rice noodles topped with green fish gravy and lots of fresh vegetables including cucumbers, green beans, mint leaves, banana blossom and bean sprouts. It’s very similar to the Thai dish ‘kanom jeen’.

Bai Sach Chrouk (Grilled pork and broken rice)

The simple and yummy bai sach chrouk is pork marinated in coconut milk or garlic before slowly grilling, and then served with broken or fractured rice and a small bowl of clear chicken broth as well as some fresh vegetables. As part of the street food culture, it is available everywhere especially in busy neighborhoods. It’s so popular that many middle and upper restaurants also include it on their menus. Try it with iced coffee. It's so delicious!!

Kuy teav (Noodle soup)

Kuy teav is a noodle soup made from pork or beef stock and rice vermicelli and toppings including bean sprouts and green onions. A variety of meat choices can be added, such as pork, chicken, fish balls and beef as well as seafood. In some places, it’s served alongside sweet, spicy, garlic sauce and a small slice of fresh lime. This is when the real flavours start. Head to the open-air food stalls at any market; you will find kuy teav shops within no time.

Lok lak (Stir-fried beef in brown sauce)

Lok Lak is a traditional Khmer dish, which is basically stir-fried beef slices (or pork) in a light brown sauce, served with rice and/or green salad and pepper sauce. Most restaurants across the county offer this dish but tastes are varied depending on the chefs and regions. The beef or pork slices must first be marinated before cooking so that they are tastier and juicier.
