    Oriental Magic Once Again

    SD and I started off our holiday indulgence at our usual haunt: the Bamboo Bar at the Oriental. Two JWB doubles later and on to an excellent riverside table at Ciao, the hotel's seasonal Italian restaurant...appetizers: seafood frito misto (very tasty dipping sauce and tender squid rings were the highlights) and the evening's star: a burrata mozzarella salad with a perfectly light and garlicky vinaigrette. The mains: SD's wagyu beef short rib on a bed of pureed parsnip and my Italian seafood stew garnished with an 8" chubby octopus tentacle. Both were satisfying and flavorful. A very nice Sicilian red added to the pleasure. Dessert was light: a few scoops of gelato as we could hardly breathe by the time it arrived. Altogether, another wonderful holiday evening at the Oriental...

    Oh for the lifestyle of the rich and famous.

    May I ask you Tom what was your vocation before you retired to the pleasures of Bangkok?
