Bestsellers according to the waiter are Prime Rib Tapa and Huevos Rancheros but they were both out when we ate there

Pancakes are similar to Pancake House but the pancake expert, James, says that it is fluffier at Maple! 🙂

I wanted to try their chicken sandwich and compare it to the Pancake House chicken sandwich- apparently it is a different chicken sandwich and I liked it!  I like also the bacon on top and the fries that went with it

Another chicken dish for me!! YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For me the dressing is as important as the chicken so I liked this 🙂

Sra Bua Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

We wanted to stay in this hotel as it is relatively new.  I also heard from our friends Steve and Cherina that it was a nice hotel.  But since we were booking very late, it was already full.  The hotel is at the back of the Paragon mall which to me is a great location 🙂  You have access to the mall which has shopping, other restaurant choices and the MTR

We ate in their Thai restaurant and to me this was my best meal for the whole trip

Cold lemon grass juice which was very refreshing

The menu- you have a choice whether you want a 6 or a 9 course meal.  The choices are the same for both meals but you just get more by choosing the 9 course.  Everyone gets the first page which is the nibblings, Street cooking 1 and Street cooking 2
