Tik’s Birthday @ Red Sky January 15, 2009
Posted by Martin in : Miscellaneous , trackback
Tik and I celebrated her birthday at Red Sky Restaurant last night.
Red Sky is located on the 55th floor of Central World Plaza, and is part of the Centara Grand Hotel there.
The restaurant spans a large indoor area and a spacious outdoor area with a comprehensive view of the city. We both prefer it to the alternatives Sirocco (great but expensive), and Vertigo (Way too crowded, and not especially good value).
Tik is a member of The Central World Gold Card program which, for an annual fee, she’s able to get some really outstanding promotions. Last night she her meal free on the proviso that I paid full price and our total bill came to less than 3,000 baht for 2 courses and cocktails.
We had the largest, tastiest scallops I’ve ever eaten, kobe steak, salmon and soup.
We’re getting some unusually cold weather in Thailand right now so the roof was a little chilly. I ate with my coat still on but it certainly didn’t upset the meal.
Service was lightning fast between ordering and receiving our food. As a rare bonus for Thailand, our meals were delivered at the same time.
As we waited for our bill we walked down to the inappropriately named ’55′ restaurant on the 54th floor. This also looked great, offering a larger menu, a 550 baht cheeseboard and a wine room that requires the waiter to strap himself into a harness and to get lifted by wire to the appropriate bottle.
Tik and I are huge fans of Central World Plaza, as a shopping mall it’s actually enjoyable (even for me). It’s got all the style and elegance of it’s neighbor and arch-rival ‘Paragon Center’ without the crowds. It’s got great cinemas, huge and comfortable book shops and it offers everything we ever need for a weekend in Bangkok when we’re lazy to plan anything.
