Fine Dining for the Trendy Lifestyle

Scenic Restaurants

9

Since the beginning of humanity, the evolution of our eating habit has progressed tremendously over the course of time. Before, we ate to stay alive as it is one of the basic necessities of life. While that still remains true, it is undeniable that dining has also become a social event, an occasion for romance, a quality time for families to spend together, or even an opportunity for consummating business transactions. Perhaps the reason for this is that there really aren’t many occasions that allow people to come together and enjoy a mutual activity they could participate in.

In the world of business, the restaurant a company chooses to take its customers for entertaining speaks many unspoken words. In a way, it symbolizes the company’s status and how much the clients are valued. Often, deals are made based on the success of an impressive dinner which might also be followed by a few drinks and entertainment. With nice scenery, good food, fine services, pleasant music, and interesting company, not much else could go wrong. It is the perfect opportunity to strengthen a business relationship between a company and its client.

Even before the trend of corporate dinners began, one of the most popular methods a man chooses to impress his date is by taking her out to a fine restaurant. During the first few dates, the atmosphere plays an even more important role than the food as both parties are most likely to be too busy focusing on the right words to say than relishing the taste of what’s in front of them. Thus, being surrounded by a romantic setting can really make a difference. As for quality family time, having home-cooked meals day after day can become routinely boring. Going out to eat once in a while not only allows the housewife a break from her daily chores, but also provides the whole family time to explore new menus in a fresh surrounding.

10When going on vacation, most people would incorporate fine dining as part of the perfect holiday. Naturally after months of hard work, it feels right to splurge on life’s little luxuries like fine French cuisine sixty storeys above the streets or a dazzling dinner cruise along the river. Holidays at a seaside town definitely call for beach barbecues and cocktails with live music in the midst of soft white sands and a refreshing sea breeze.

With such emphasis placed on the whole dining trend, presenting diners with an unforgettable experience has become a challenge for any competing restaurant establishment. Customer’s expectations have raised the bar so high that every restaurant is faced with bigger challenges as they grow. No longer able to rely on the taste of the food alone, creating a nice atmosphere is one of the most vital parts for any successful restaurant. Maintaining a place in the spotlight means serving the finest, most delicious food combined with unique decoration, convenient location, scenic view, and attentive service as modern diners go out to restaurants for ‘an experience’ rather than just to fill their stomach.

Globalization of World Cuisine

As the world becomes more universal, demand for international cuisine also grows. The more people travel, the more they are familiarized with food of various cultures and savor tastes they had never experienced before. New experiences bring new knowledge which inevitably opens doors to the use of new and exotic spices, better and rarer ingredients, at the same time challenging chefs to raise their standard of cooking even higher. Secret recipes passed on for generations are diversified to make way for more varieties, and food from different cultures are combined to create a new breed of fusion cuisine.

Every culture’s food has its own main stars which pretty much dominate the flavor and set the tone. In Italian cooking, we often see the use of tomatoes in combination with cheese. Indian food, however, is dictated by strong-scented spices like cumin, turmeric, saffron, etc. Thai food, on the other hand, usually consists of many different herbs to create a burst of different flavors.

Let’s take a look at some of the herbs and spices most often found in Thai cooking. Starting with ‘Phrik Khi Nu’ or small fresh chilies, these tiny but powerful pods are found in over half of all Thai menus as Thai people enjoy their food spicy. They also contain capsaisin, an active ingredient beneficial to the blood pressure and heart. The next most popular item must be ‘Manao’ or lime as its citric sour juice is used in the various ‘Yams’ and ‘Tom Yams’. Lime is high in vitamin C, an excellent source for anti-oxidant. Also a favorite ingredient is ‘Bai Kaphrao’ or holy basil leaves that go well with stir-fried meats. The green and purple leaves contain 0.5% volatile oil which exhibits antimicrobial activity. ‘Saranae’ (mint), ‘Hom Daeng’ (shallots), ‘Ton Hom’ (spring onions) are often used as a set for ‘Nam Tok’ dishes. They also have volatile oils which contain anti-flu agents. Also found in all Thai kitchens is ‘Phak Chi’ or cilantro which provides decoration as well as refreshing scent to food. It offers many benefits such as aiding digestion. Not to be forgotten is another star of Thai cooking, ‘Krathiam’ or garlic. Health benefits of garlic are so numerous they range from preventing colds and flu to managing cholesterol levels. These pungent cloves give meat a full flavor and make any dish tastier. ‘Kha’ (galangal), ‘Takhrai’ (lemongrass) and ‘Bai Makrut’ (kaffir lime leaves) are the basic herbs that give Tom Yam its distinct flavor and aroma. Apart from providing a zesty tang to food, studies have shown that they actually contain anti-cancer properties. Recently started by health spas, fresh stalks of lemongrass or ‘Takhrai’ and ‘Bai Toei’ (pandan leaves) are used for making herbal tea. Moreover, lemon grass is great as a natural mosquito repellent while pandan leaves are used as a diuretic. Apart from giving Thai food its distinctive flavors, these herbs and spices are absolutely beneficial to health.

As a completion to any fine dining experience, drinking wine has become such a phenomenon around the world that any restaurant catering to the more refined groups of clientele is automatically expected to carry an extensive selection of wine. With new world wine from Australia, Chile, the United States or even Thailand out in the market, old world wine from France and Italy must make room for their young competition. This gives an opportunity for connoisseurs to enjoy a wider range of wine at more reasonable prices and a better chance of matching the right wine to specific food.

Thailand is a country blessed with picture-perfect natural scenery from the North to the South. In the North and Northeast, the misty mountains are covered with fertile green forests and natural flowers growing wild. There is nothing like enjoying a meal in the midst of the valleys that wind along the descending foothills and the sounds of waterfalls trickling in the background. The mountain range that runs in a maze provides a majestic backdrop for some of the most picturesque sunsets ever seen. Cool air envelopes the surrounding for an enhanced atmosphere of alfresco dining.

A timeless romantic setting, dining by the river has always been a popular choice for decades. There is something alluring about the river and its history that many find magical. Watching life along the river and boats passing by is much like watching a play on stage. It makes one reminisce about the good old days in the past when things were simple. As night falls, the glittering water sparkles with lights reflected from houses and buildings along the banks. Passing boats that make little ripples in the water even helps to create magic.

The most inspiring scenery known to draw travelers from around the world to Thailand are the heavenly beaches. The vast open sky that blends with the clear blue ocean makes the kind of picture that lasts forever in the memory. The rhythmic sound of the waves crashing into the sand and the cries of seagulls making their way back to the nest is music to the ears. The soft powdery sand under the feet caresses the tired muscles as lovers stroll along its length.

15

Perhaps it is this very unassuming charm of the seaside setting that restaurant operators try to capture. During the design stage, any property fronted by a beach never fails to place a restaurant here as they realize the importance of atmosphere while enjoying a good meal. For the most part, diners can expect to find excellent seafood BBQs as this type of food best matches the tropical ambience. Also, being in a seaside atmosphere brings the anticipation of succulent seafood caught fresh from the ocean, grilled to perfection on the open flame. As you try to decide what to have for dinner, the aroma of the tantalizing meat and seafood is most likely to make a decision for you.

The restaurant sits on a quiet, pretty stretch of the Ping River, affording the views of Chiang Mai’s charming scenery.

With over 500 items on the menu, there is something for everyone, including vegetarians. Among the home style cooking there are pizzas, salads, curries, steamed or deep fried fish, tasty Thai delicacies, and typical northern specialties. To pick a favorite, choose the ‘Riverside Basket’, a mix of seafood, served in a fried taro basket or the ‘Deep-fried Ruby Fish’ served in two styles topped with three-flavored sauce and cashew nuts.

The amazing views of Bangkok are best captured high up in one of the city’s panoramic restaurants. Often overshadowing the food itself, the shimmering metropolitan view spreads out to boast the winding Chao Phraya River, myriads of golden temples and beautiful architecture that stand among busy streets filled with people going about their day. Being so far above the ground, the atmosphere becomes surreal, like being a bird looking down on humans.

During sunset, the advantage of height provides a different perspective to marvel at the sun descending into the horizon. Restaurants with panoramic views always feature large glass floor to ceiling walls to best capture the view below. Sometimes, for additional excitement, diners are invited to enjoy the scenery in an alfresco setting where the excitement of being so high up without the safety of an enclosed wall awaits. The altitude plus the rush of wind in the hair can be as thrilling as a roller coaster ride.

The life line of Thailand, the Chao Phraya River, is the merging of four major rivers; namely, the Ping, Wang, Yom, and Nan. It is around the banks of The Chao Phraya that some of the country’s most prominent structures are located. While you are enjoying the river breeze and delightful feast on a luxury yacht, you will be taken down memory lane passing historical architecture standing on either side of the river.

One of the most prominent structures not to be missed is ‘Wat Arun’ or the Temple of Dawn which was built during the ancient capital of Ayutthaya in the 18th century. Considered the most revered temple throughout the history of Bangkok is ‘Wat Phra Kaeo’ or Temple of the Emerald Buddha which was constructed during the reign of King Rama 1 when Bangkok became the capital of Thailand. Also on the agenda are many more historical buildings; such as, the French and Portuguese Embassies, the Memorial Bridge, Santa Cruz Church and of course, the Grand Palace which served as a rediednce for many of Thailand’s past kings.

Throughout world history, you might notice that the earliest settlers always started building a community beside the river. First of all, it provides the best mode of transportation while its water is used in daily lives. Riverbanks of the Chao Phraya are always filled with fascinating history since the Rattanakosin era when Thon Buri on one side was the capital and Bangkok on the other side later became one. Naturally, it is not at all surprising to see historical architecture built along both sides of the majestic river.

In summary, the luxury dinner cruises provide one of the best ways to admire life along the river banks. Apart from the high-light which is of course the view, guests can enjoy the crisp night air out on the open deck or mellow out to the tunes of live music in air-conditioned comfort.

Theme Restaurants 12

Creating a fun and distinctive atmosphere without depending on the natural landscape for a backdrop can be more exciting than anticipated. The idea of eating out is to have a good time which doesn’t necessarily require an extraordinary view of nature at all. With a wild imagination, one can transform a space into anything out of the ordinary. One minute, you may be walking down the streets of Bangkok when suddenly, you find yourself gulping down tequila and burritos in a Mexican bar. For dinner, all you have to do is travel two blocks to enjoy couscous and lamb stew in a Moroccan setting.

Creating a theme to enhance the dining experience in a restaurant sets the tone and makes the entire meal more enjoyable. For a touch of theatrics, you might wish to try a tapas dinner with an inspiring live epic performance being acted out before your eyes. Alternatively, a cultural dinner in an ancient Thai setting with a traditional dance performance could also conjure up an image of the past. Without creativity, we would not be able to dine in a rice barn surrounded by a rural Thai setting or enjoy a Chinese meal in a Ming Dynasty atmosphere.

The beauty of theme restaurants is that it is not restricted by any guidelines. Diners searching for something new can always benefit from fresh ideas presented by restaurant owners who want to make a difference. Sometimes, we find homes converted into restaurants while other times, the homey atmosphere is actually the main attraction. We may choose to sprawl on the lawn, by the pond, in the kitchen, or in the living room. The things that humans try to recreate are not mere illusions but nostalgia of what has become so rare in the modern world, or simply how we’d like them to be.

Oil lamps at the center of each white clothed table glow against regal yellow napkins and handsomely cushioned wicker chairs. To complete the mood, we have chosen sweet and soft music of Chicago jazz and blues.

Maison Chin’s modern Asian cuisine is noticeable at first glance. Inspired by celebrity chef, Ken Hom, each starter and main course will lure you with a bit of familiarity then pleasantly surprise you with a twist of flavor. Imagine a tantalizing start with ‘Grilled Canadian Lobster with Saffron Risotto’ served with shitake mushroom and spring onion white wine sauce. We then follow with a glass of wine and one of our best selling dishes, ‘Marinated Japanese Tuna Salad’ with soy and vinegar served with tomato and avocado salsa. In fact, every menu is a natural blend of cuisines of Asia and Europe, reflecting the best of combined cultures.
