Argentinean beef in Thailand seems a bit incongruous, but we relished the juxtaposition at Bangkok’s King Power Pullman, when promoting The Argentine’s national day. Best was “Five Ways Beef” -- from tender fillet surf and turf to seared liver, cooked by creative chef Sylvain Royer. Tango dancers direct from Buenos Aires squared on the dance floor, reminiscent of a Xavier Cugat night club scenes from Hollywood Golden Years.
We adore the hotel’s Thursday night promotion at Wine Pub. One of the buzziest hotels bars in the City of Angels, its 5+5+1 counter buffet groans like a fancy Spanish bodega with cheeses and prosciutto (albeit, all with a French preference). Best yet are the prices. To draw customers, management minimally charges corkage -- just a few dollars per bottle, or enough to cover glass breakage. Even so, Thailand’s userous 278% import tax still makes even the cheapest bottle cost like gold. Choose 5 cheese, 5 cold cuts, and 1 bottle, for just 900 Baht/$27 net. Great value. |
