A high-end restaurant adapts to changing seasons

By THE NATION

 

 

The Four Seasons restaurant located in Siam Paragon Shopping Complex in Bangkok’s Pathumwan district is employing strict measures to ensure the safety of its customers and staff from Covid-19.

 

A bowl of boiling water has been placed on every table where serving staff demonstrate the sterilisation of utensils to ensure the customers’ confidence in the restaurant's cleanliness. Customers can opt to do this themselves to further minimise physical contact with their utensils.

 

 

 

The restaurant also provides food-grade alcohol hand gels, has removed alternate chairs at each table to maintain social distance, and has installed a partition between tables with pictures of tourist attractions in Thailand.

 

 

The government has allowed shopping malls, among other selected businesses, to resume operations since last Sunday in a bid to restart the economy, provided the operators and customers follow the social distancing practice as well as regulations announced by Ministry of Public Health.

But it is not boiling at the moment it goes into the bowl, before the utensils, which defeats the purpose.

More importantly, when can we get a glass of wine with our otherwise super sanitary meal?

The dude in the second photo looks like he has already died ....

What is the 'social distance' now?

It looks like the distance between the two diners at the table is almost a metre.

(Ignoring that fact that a lot of diners will be from the same household, but let's not bring logic in to this.)

They have been doing that in Shenzhen for 30 years, but they use tea.   Restaurants should offer immune boosting meals as well.   Modern medicine cannot save you at this time, only your immune system can.  

Another restaurant I shall not be frequenting then ........ 

The restaurant is owned by a Democrat MP ie Khun Prinn by the way...https://www.thailandtatler.com/people/prinn-panitchpakdi-1.... I personally avoid the restaurant

I'd rather take my chances with covid than getting splashed with boiling water.

Gin/tonic in order yet before eating ?
