Few cities in the world exude a personality as Bangkok
does, that is as steeped in culture and tradition, as it is cosmopolitan and
vibrant. The Sukhothai Bangkok has a special place in our heart, not only the
interiors are beautifully proportioned in a way that is difficult to replicate,
with architectural touches that hark back to a more stylish period that do not
date in our view but also to dine in this pre-eminent establishment is to
indulge in culture and tradition that still delivers on all fronts.
“Gin khao reu
yung” is a common greeting instead of asking “How are you” in Thailand and also
for all Asian, literally translated as “Have you eaten rice yet?” marks the
emphasis on eating where rice plays an essential part in their daily routine
either from snacking a quick bite to sharing a leisurely meal with friends and
family.
With a plethora of options to indulge in a champagne brunch in Bangkok, one needs to look for something that delivers on all fronts and our previous indulgent stay at The Sukhothai Bangkok sowed a seed for when we would return to book for this indulgent bubbles brunch.
Now you can’t indulge every day of the week, but a Sunday in many countries is the day to plan a great brunch in a beautiful venue, many of which reside in grand hotels, such as The Sukhothai Bangkok. Unlike any other Sunday brunch buffets, quality comes first from its impressive spread and presentation at The Colonnade in The Sukhothai Bangkok.
Eat with your eyes first, with fresh and delectable seafood being a prime focus, lobster, giant Alaskan king crab, 7-types of oysters (even locally farmed giant Thai oysters from Suratthani), sushi, sashimi and more Japanese specialties, Pan-fried Foie Gras, plus live cooking stations including roasted Wagyu prime rib and weekly rotation choices.
With unlimited Louis Roederer pouring to your glass by
bringing up the aroma of the concentrated grapes with unusual levels of
maturity resulting in rich, full-bodied wines worthy of the greatest vintages
in Champagne, you can take a moment to gaze through the floor to ceiling windows into the serene
splendour of a bygone age, reflected in the lit water of the Chedi pond. With
no distraction, we are entirely up to the task, who doesn’t like bubbles after
all?
Let the legend continue with its gastronomic feast fit
for the palates of true connoisseurs, featuring only the freshest and best in
culinary delights by adding some fun with a cooking theatre - a two round show
from the chef team, giving you the opportunity to learn and remember the
techniques that they are more than happy to disclose to all diners.
There is something to suit all gourmands, from a-la-minute French onion soup, Tom Tum Goong, fresh sashimi and tempura from different live cooking stations to delectable items such as terrines and specialty salads that are so inviting.
On arrival on the dot of 12 noon, we realized that they were fully booked and it seems it is the same every week (hence a reservation is absolutely necessary), as this is the champagne brunches of all champagne brunches in Bangkok and we began to realize why. It seems that many participants had particular reasons for choosing this special brunch, some wanted to indulge their taste for the delectable champagne, some wanted to indulge in just the seafood, while others used this as an opportunity to celebrate special occasions and to be in the cosseted embrace of a wonderful food and beverage team that have many years of experience in this luxury property.
The kitchen and service team are very much engaging and provides a strong presence and asking how you are enjoying everything, as they really want to ensure that the legendary status continues. They take great delight in knowing that every guest’s whim is being catered for and they also seemed to know so many guests and were genuinely happy to welcome each and every one back or for the first time. Our glasses were constantly being topped up and they always seemed to instinctively know when our glasses were near to empty.
You must make room for dessert, as the offerings from Pastry Chef Laurent Ganguillet are simply irresistible and then there is the fabulous selection of 25-30 varieties of farmhouse cheeses sourced from around the globe and even Tiramisu and Crepes Suzette are a-la minute and not forgetting the local Thai delights. As you can imagine, you need to pace yourself and take things at a leisurely speed, as you are never left wanting.
The champagne brunch in The Colonnade is a showcase of
creativity and artistry catering to all your whims with an array of
international cuisine (seafood selection as its prime focus) and the uncompromising
quality of food. The quality of the produce is superb and many items can be
identified from the source of origin, so you know that you could not ask for
anything more in terms of having the best of the best! There is no Sunday
Champagne brunch to match this, at least not in Bangkok by far.
