Eating Thai food everyday for a whole week was
not something I could handle. It’s simply too much masala, too much spice and
the use of coconut milk makes it all very heavy. I presume eating a more
balanced meal i.e. more vegetables, cutting down on the protein and eating more
judiciously would have helped. But then you only have one life!
We did get some non Thai food into our
stomachs as well. Some of the places we ate at are:
The Kabuki Japanese at the J W Marriott
Resort and Spa, Phuket
Siam Deli at the J W Marriott Resort and Spa,
Phuket
Restaurant Crystal Jade, Bangkok
High Tea at the Siam Kempinski, Bangkok
The Kabuki Restaurant was not something I
particularly enjoyed, it must be said. I find Sushi, Sashimi et al rather uninspiring.
It’s knife skills I agree, but the food has no heat applied to it. Is it really
cooking? The prices are eye watering and at the end of the meal you end up
hungry. Her Royal Highness Queen of Kutch of course, loves the Sushi and
Sashimi. HRH thoroughly enjoyed her beautiful looking Sashimi platter while I did
have a reasonable soup and Pork cutlet.
Crystal Jade is an outpost of an upmarket
Cantonese style Singapore based chain. Their restaurants appear in several
South Eastern cities and the food is consistently good. They of course have
several branches in Singapore which are well worth visiting. If you ever are in
KL or Bangkok, Hong Kong or Singapore do eat at one of their branches.
The High Tea was great fun. Instead of going
to a restaurant and grabbing some lunch we had High Tea. Rather incongruous setting,
a German Hotel in Thailand serving some very English sandwiches and European pastry.
As I said it was fun.
