I visited that place for their buffet dinner. $22.90 for Mondays to Fridays and $24.90 for Weekends. No special promotion available for credit cardholders.
It is ala-carte buffet, so it is free flow of everything except for their Mango Pudding and Shark's fin soup, which is one bowl per person only and not available for kids below 3 years old.
I must comment that their Shark's fin soup taste like soup without the shark's fins.
Tried the cold dish combination. Only 3 items (Ngor Hiang, Prawn Salad, Jellyfish with cucumber). The huge gaps left on the plate makes the dish very empty upon serving.
Their boiled fresh prawns are really fresh, but so sad they took very long to cook up each dish. I only get to tried the dish 3 times. Tried Fried shrimps w/thousand island sauce. Not bad.
Tried Stirfried fresh scallops w/celery and Deep fried scallops w/Yam. The fresh scallops are nice, while the for the deep fried ones, you almost can't taste the scallops.
Tred Deep fried marble-goby w/soya sauce. Very oily, it is like eating fried flour.
Tried chicken wrapped in special paper. Very oily too, and the meat is not tender. Chicken sticked to the paper.
Tried Fried Pork Tendon w/XO Sauce, very nice. Feel like eating sea cucumber. Also tried Baked pork ribs in sweet sauce. The sauce tasted weird, while pork is still ok, not tough.
Deep fried beancurd w/thai sauce's beancurd is tasteless, you really need the sauce to go with it. Deep fried twisted fritters w/mayonnnaise is very oily. Strong aftertaste after trying that dish.
Braised ee-fu noodles w/yellow chives is nice, except that it is quite dry.
I like the desserts best. Dessert of the day is something similar to barley cooked in coconut milk. Very nice. Mango pudding is so-so. Cold Sago Cream w/mixed fruits tasted more like dilute solution with sago and fruits.
Staff is friendly, but takes very long to serve the dishes. Some patrons actually order a list of dishes way in advance, to avoid having to wait for the next dish.
I like this outlet as it has wide retail space, offers more items for purchase.
Detest it when they has salegirls and the salegirls approaches you to buy off their item.
Meanwhile, there was this time I was making a purchase using Citibank 10% promotion. The cashier seemed unwilling to give me discount, kept repeating that discount is only for purchases above $50, when mine was obviously above $50.
I always prefer Cathay Cineplexes over Golden Village Cineplexes.
The Cathay cineplex is the best among all. As pointed out by many, the crowd there is not as huge as those at the other cineplexes (even the non-town area ones). This makes it a great place to enjoy a day of pure movie entertainment, without having to squeeze being big crowds and long queues. I like the idea of having many counters at different levels of the building (Cathay Cineleisure does that too). This disperse the crowd and shortens the queue by a lot.
I like the snacks counter. I always find food at Cathay more attractive than at Golden Village. Like their sweetened popcorn.
The seats at The Cathay are spacious and quite clean compared to Golden Village. The seats are like armchairs, don't result in you having neck pains after the show.
Perhaps Cathay can also introduce a movie club scheme like Golden Village does, and let us all Cathay supporters benefit from the scheme. :)
This is a tribute to the place, since it is no longer serving the public at the current moment..
I went there to celebrate a brithday. I had reserved a table a month in advance. The receptionist there were attentive to customers' needs. Two weeks or so before the actual dining date, I receive a call from there to check what occasion is the dinner for. When I say it was for a birthday, the receptionist actually ask what to state on the cake which they are giving free. I don't get the same kind of attention when I visit Shangri-la or Pan Pacific.
The meal wasn't really that expensive, given the location. I spent $100 for two persons. Took a seafood and a steak set (can't remember exactly the name). Ordered a fruit punch too besides the mineral water. The chef actually prepare the food in front of you, which is nice. And yes it is sweet that the singers go around the place with their guitars etc. playing songs as per your request. There was UOB credit card discount during then too.
I must say, I really miss the time I spent at the place. The food, the staff, the ambience were all unforgettable. When is Top of the 'M' coming back?
I will go Chatuchak Weekend Market every time i visit Bangkok. Weather is super duper hot and scorching over there. So always prepare yourself with plenty of plain water (or just buy from the stalls there). Can get sick easily in that kind of weather. There are really plenty of items availablf at Chatuchak. They even have an online website to promote wholesale. Understand that the landlord is intending to pull off that place. Been trying to get people to pull down the place by force, but to no avail.
I went to Dream World too just recently. Abit run-down. Imagine a theme park that has been in existence since 10 odd years ago, it can't be as advanced in terms of rides as those theme parks built recently.
I also went to Pratunam area. The stalls operate both day and night. Do visit the Platinium Mall for clothes at wholesale prices.
Patpong is a interesting place to visit if you are one who is into pubs and clubs. They have gay pubs there as well. So do look at where you enter.
I visit Carrefour more for the special deals they have at the end of the day, before closing shop. Always like their picnic ham, as it is quite cheap at 60 odd cents. But no longer patron them for that, as it is not healthy in the first place.
I like their Sushi corner, for the cooked eels they sell. Also love it during after 9pm when they start to slash the prices for the sushi.
Their Honey chickens are nice. There was once I went there at the last hour, and the staff gave another chicken FOC.
I like the luggage section. Wide variety of choices.
Also like the staff at the electrical appliances section. Quite friendly and helpful.
As compared to Giant, Carrefour is a better place to visit.
The hill is part of the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. I go there to climb the hill and view the vast species available. It is a very relaxing experience, breathing in fresh air and looking at the various different species. However, beware of the monkeys there. They can get agressive when they see you holding food in front of them.
There is a firing range nearby. Thus every now and then you would hear the sounds produced by the riffle shoots.
It is nice visiting the place when you have the time. It is a different feeling looking down from the top of the hill!
Current price for the buffet is $38 , with one dines free for every five paying adults on fridays/saturdays/sundays and one dines free for every four paying adults on mondays-thursdays under Citibank promo. If dining on monday-thurdays, UOB promo is more attractive as it offers one dines free with every 2 paying adult.
Meanwhile, I like the sea cucumber served there. It is well-prepared, tasted heavenly. Roasted Meat was abit dry and oily. Soft-shelled crab was very oily too, can't taste anything except flour.
My friend who was there commented that Salmon Sashimi was oily. Meanwhile I think the Tuna Sashimi taste just right. Quite fresh Sashimi though. I tried abit of the Fried Oyster Omelette, but don't seem to find the oyster. The Durian Roti Prata was nice. You can smell it from far.
The bigger prawns were not sweet at all. Totally tasteless. The normal-sized prawns tasted better, sweeter.
Tried the cupaccino there too. Normal.
Enjoyed playing at the the ice-cream DIY counter. Yes the cakes were nothing to mention about. Cheesecake wasn't nice at all. In fact, the raspberry on it was too sour.
I actually bought a 1.5kg Valhorna chocolate cake from there. Need 3 days advance order through the phone. Cost like $75 . Thought that it should taste nice, but turned out not as what we expected. The cake tasted dry, and you wouldn't want another bite after one slice. Laurent's chocolate tart/black forest cake are better than this. Seriously wouldn't recommend this to anybody. Not worthy of the price.

Not very worth it, for the price paid for.

Love Uncle Sam's claypot for their claypot rice. They are always crowded during lunch hours.
They sell Claypot rice, Claypot noodles, soup, side dishes like vegetables, desert like honey sea coconut.
I love their Deer meat Claypot rice the best. $12.
Food is steaming hot when served. Also like to order their Tom Yam Seafood Claypot noodle and barley drink.
Good to go for a claypot dish in CBD are during lunch break.
