Sin - Sukhumvit Soi 4 (Bangkok)
Well, thanks to Mr Stickman I had the chance to go to Sin on Soi 4 with a 500 Baht food voucher. The roof restaurant is very pleasant. The evening breeze cooled things down nicely. This place would be a nice place to meet up with friends for a few drinkies or dinner.



Some may view the location as good, but it's not that pleasant negotiating a footpath filled with ThaiVisa members and their hired girlfriends/boyfriends. Once you get to Sin, you have to walk up 2 flights of stairs. There is a pool hall on one side of the 1st floor (the ground floor is occupied by a couple of bars) and a club on the other. The pool hall was fairly busy, but I guess it's either too early for the club to have been open or they don't use it anymore. Up to the 2nd floor roof and there are some more pool tables as you walk into the restaurant.





I'm not sure how busy it is normally, but we were the only customers eating and there was only one other chap in there besides us.





Onto the food. The menu was pretty good and included many different types of food. I chose the blue lipped mussels for starters and Gow had what tasted like KFC. The mussels actually tasted like tuna.





For the main course I had chicken and pea paella and GoW had chicken in a spicy tomato sauce with french fries and corn on the cob.



I'm not sure why I chose this as I'm pretty sick of rice, but it tasted ok and I was very full afterwards.



GoW said hers was 'ok'. I think she od'd on chicken though, but there's no telling them, is there?

This place is mid range for price. The deco is excellent but the food is mediocre. The total for the food plus 3 cokes and a bottle of water came to 865 Baht, but thanks to Sticky's coupon I only had to pay 365 Baht, which then made it about what it was worth IMO.

Ahh, yes. It could've been rissoto. I was a bit underwhelmed as you can probably tell, but I didn't want to be too negative due to the nice discount.

I assume both the starters and main course you both had half finished before you took the piccies, if not you were robbed for your snacks.

They brought everything at the same time, and as you can see GoW wasted no time at all tucking into hers. I can't remember how much that starter cost, but it was around the 100B mark.

Saying that, we were both stuffed, so I guess the portions were about right.

paella is a Spanish dish, Usually with mussles, fish, crab, lobster/prawns sometimes there will be some pork, chorizo even had seen pieces of chicken (browned) in it. That ain't Paella. It ain't even Rissoto; although it may have been made with aborio rice. Even looks like it had some kinda cream sauce (maybe cheese?). Peas? FUCKIN PEAS???

Sorry, my attempt at irony was maybe bit too gentle. what I was trying to say, marms, even at 365 you got fucked.

Its bloody hot there all the time, but it is nice and all the folks are nice and polite, given the choice i think Chiang Mai would be a better place though to retire.
