In Bangkok, you can get Dim Sum for 3 Baht a piece from any street vendor or up to 200 Baht for a pair or "Siu Mai" at fancier establishments. This is what I love about Thailand. Just because it's Dim Sum, doesn't meant that it will be the same (Doused in sauce and fried garlic, anyone?) everywhere you have it. The range of food is so vast, and everyone puts their own twist on it.
This will be a review for Dim Sum Buffet at the Golden Palace, Windsor Suites. For those of you who may not know, the hotel is located just off off Sukhumvit Road near the Asok BTS Station. I arrived at the hotel and parking space was ample and complimentary for guests dining at any of the hotel's Food and Beverage outlets.

Seating Inside the Restaurant
The waiter came promptly to serve us and we were quickly given a menu of the items that we could order. Drinks were not included in the lunch buffet price. The typical fare of Dim Sum items were offered including fried hot dishes such as spring rolls and red pork puffs.
"Har Gao" with large prawns included
Some sort of Crab dish
"Chee Chong Fun"
I realize that I am probably butchering the spelling for all of these dishes beyond any repair, but lets move beyond that point and continue with the review. For those of you who are in the area, the lunch buffet is around 500 Baht per person. Is it worth the price? Well, the Dim Sum wasn't that bad. But it didn't seem refined. It just tasted above average. I have definitely dined on better dim sum in the past, although not during Dim Sum Buffets (Crystal Jade in Singapore, perhaps?), if anyone knows any fantastic Dim Sum buffets in Bangkok, do let me know.

Finishing up our meal
The Golden Palace was almost full during lunch, filled with office workers having their break and enjoying a meal. It's definitely a bang for buck offer. However, if you are looking for high quality Dim Sum, this is not the place for you.

welcome back, happy new year!
ReplyDeletebtw, dimsum in BKK is just so-so, Hong Kong has all what u quest for; however, going to HK is not realistic in the meanwhile, let's say Crystal Jade @ Siam Paragon (make sure to order a la carte dim sum, not buffet), and Ah Yat Forum may let u eat happier, they do dim sum very "Hong Kong"!
I actually went down to Crystal Jade Paragon a few months ago hoping to sample some dim sum, but unfortunately the kitchen was closed at around 3PM and they didn't serve dim sum for dinner.
ReplyDeleteWill definitely check out Ah Yat the next time Im in Bangkok though!
OMG who will serve u dimsum after 3pm, this is not Chok-Dee na, hahaha
