The highest new entry in the world to No. 13 of The World’s 50 Best: Restaurant Potong (28. June 2026)
When entering the Potong I didn’t remember that this place was not only No. 13 in the World’s 50 Best Restaurants, but also the highest new entry in the list for 2025. And I would say, luckily so. Why, you ask? Because that didn’t lead to increased expectations. Once you had entered, you’re seated in […]
An exquisite breakfast collection with staff doing their best to keep you happy: Restaurant Babette’s The Steakhouse Bangkok @ Hotel Muse Bangkok, Autograph Collection (28. June 2026)
The breakfast selection at the Babette’s The Steakhouse Bangkok, which is also their breakfast location in the Hotel Muse Bangkok, Autograph Collection, is actually quite decent. I would – personally – have hoped for a few more other items, but you cannot argue with the expansive set of dishes, which can be picked for breakfast […]
An incredible find with excellent dishes where you wouldn’t expect it: Restaurant VILAS วิลาศ (27. June 2026)
I hadn’t booked anything for the first evening and was, hence, trying to find a place close to the hotel and I found the Vilas, which was located perfectly in a 5-mintues walking distance. The Vilas is located in an area of restaurants and food stalls, but on the lower levels – so, not a […]
One of the two street food stalls in Asia with a Michelin star – worth visiting: Restaurant Raan Jai Fay (27. June 2026)
Jai Fay is world-famous for her crab omelet and every time I’ve been to Bangkok, I tried to pay her a visit, but either the place was closed or the line was so long that I didn’t feel like queueing. Today, I was lucky as there was no line and within seconds, we were seated! […]
When you ate too much on the way to the long-haul flight and feel overwhelmed with the food: SWISS First flight LX180 ZRH – BKK (26. June 2026)
Given I wanted to take advantage of the relatively cheap SWISS First flight through a complicated routing, I spent the day travelling to finally get to LX180. And that involved a bit of First Class lounging and more food, so, by the time I was on the plane, I didn’t really feel that hungry anymore. […]
When you fall into the exact same ordering pattern as on your last visit: SWISS First Class Lounge Terminal E (26. June 2026)
It’s almost six years ago since I’ve last been to the Swiss First Class Lounge in Terminal E – and I have very fond memories of these previous visits, so, I was super happy to visit again before taking off with LX180. Somehow I fell into exactly the same pattern as the last time and […]
A great last evening in Thailand before taking off back to Europe: Restaurant Resonance (3. December 2024)
Given I’ve only had a few hours in Bangkok, I wanted to find a nice place for dinner before take off back to Europe, and given all the places I wanted to dine at in the first place (to complete a few more on “The World’s 50 Best”) were not open that day, I kept […]
A lunch place with a lovely view onto a fish pond: Restaurant Jampoon @ Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve (1. December 2024)
I somehow didn’t manage to make it on time for the breakfast, so, I was looking for a restaurant where you could get something to eat at noon, and there is only one option, the Jampoon, so, the same restaurant you have breakfast in. I went for the “Yum Pak Gud (local green wild fern […]
