Who says fine dining only comes at dinner time?

This was my excuse: it was my birthday and hence I could spoil myself with something nice–something special.  Whale’s Belly did not fail to impress before and so we had always intended to come back.  My parents and I arrived at noon and were greeted by very attentive staff with big welcoming smiles on their faces.

A young and charming waiter seated us, carefully placed the napkins on our laps and handed to us the menus.  He informed us that the dishes were carefully crafted by their Executive Chef Mr. Mai Apirawit whom–after having collaborated with a number of 3 Michelin star chefs in restaurants around the world–was named “The Winner of  IRON CHEF, Thailand 2014”, by IROHA CHEF Thailand TV program.
