I drink small bottles when in Pattaya

That's a good idea considering your dietary intake as there's only so much room:

I liked the seafood spagetti and the Mojito the best. The main course was ok, but not outstanding.

 

Overall, I still consider it good value.

Pineapple Restaurant & Sky Lounge - on top of Khao Talo in Siam Royal View village. https://goo.gl/maps/Zz94HSZLhHMZe9Fy9

 

We went for a function with ten people. The place is special, perched on top of Khao Talo, the 4th floor offers beautiful view of Pattaya brightside and perhaps even more interestingly, to further darkside, which is not a view you get often. It's obvious fom the second you set foot on the premises this is not a somtam place. The decor is set nicely and is very pleasing to the eye, everything seems to be maintained perfectly.

 

After some coctails on the observation floor and enjoying the brilliant view of the sunset, we then went to the first floor where the open kitchen is. The chef seems to be European, didn't ask but I'd guess Spanish. Service was impeccable and friendly.

 

To the food and drink. Ordered champagne to start (Mumm), the place has a good list of wines. An Italian red and couple of Chilean merlots for main drinks, the service opened and decanted all properly, they are well trained. Some starters like Spanish jamon, oysters florentine and scallops, excellent. Apparently the place had been visited by a Michelin star chef the week before, tells something about what they aim at.

 

For mains, 2kg of Black Angus Tomahawk steaks, aged whopping 190 days. Now that's a very long time and I was sceptical about it. When the pieces of meat came, nicely cut, it looked wonderful. The aging process had turned the meat almost to a jello like appearance. First bite and WOW. Not the meat itself, but the fat that had been charred on very high heat, blows your mind. By far the best steak I've had in Thailand and to give some relevant point of comparison, better than the aged steak I had in Brisbane at Walter's steakhouse, which was already excellent. The sides of house made fries and grilled corn also perfect.

 

Dessert, got a cake which was delicious. Everything was just brilliant. Five stars. Chef came by to say hi on our way out. 

 

And the tab, prepare the ambulance for CCs: a bit over 30k. Well worth it and I will go again when they have special events. This, I think, is a destination restaurant. They do have a happy hour just for drinks if you simply want to check them out without murdering your wallet.

Reminds me of a best selling book, "beware the millionaire next door". Basically people who like to look and act rich never are, while the wealthy discreet slip through unnoticed because they don't waste money ????

I'm sure Dr Turner slipped through. The place is like Fort Knox to get into.

Well not really, the security opened the gate without even coming out. We did roll in in a shiny black van so I guess it was enough to establish bona fides. Parking is right at the entrance, under the first floor. Very convenient, but do get a designated driver. The place is designed for drinking, eating and merryment so you'll get tipsy.

Mc Donald burgers are ok because I will never pay 300 baht for any burger at any supposed great burger place. And now even McDonald is too expensive for what it is. Starbucks are cheaters from the start and only idiots would support them, I agree.

Try 711 coffee, but only take espresso to know the real taste, even if you had your own milk, its a lot better than choosing their latte or any other thing.

And what do you think about Kiss food ? I read many negatives here from supposed experts who cannot explain why they think that Thai food is better somewhere else. I do not eat Thai food anywhere as most chef think about themselves as cook artists when they actually know nothing. At Kiss they are not asked to know anything, they are just told to follow the same recipe that is written, and nobody is interested in their culinary art !

I forgot some essentials too: the place does not offer Full English Breakfast, fish & chips or bangers & mash nor 39 baht Leo. Just so CCs know.

Apparently did an excellent breakfast when first opened but reduced hours since Covid have meant breakfast has been cut.

Making another assumption that I'm a CC, but whatever, keep going if it makes you feel good.

 

Btw, I don't drink Leo, rest of the above sounds great though ????

A few friends also speak highly of their food but complain about a long wait. I intend to try during the week, do they open for brekky?

And any info on their Thai food?

3k per head for what you describe, in a pleasant environment, is not so bad.
