Invitation dinner to celebrate Umberto Bombana being awarded the Diners Club Lifetime Achievement Award for Asia.
One of my better meals at this fine restaurant, which has always delivered tasty dishes even if I have only felt it worthy of 3 stars only once.

- Peter Chang added a new meal Lunch at Issaya Siamese Club at Issaya Siamese Club
While the flavors of the modern/fusion Thai dishes are good here, I found it strangely disappointing that the same dishes tasted better at the now-closed Hong Kong branch of the restaurant.

- Peter Chang added a new meal Disappointing dinner at Bo.lan at Bo Lan
We had high hopes for Bo.lan as the wife and husband team had long been lauded for their authentic Thai cuisine with modern updates.
Unfortunately while the flavors were good, we didn't find it to be anything special. And the practice of serving 5 main courses together and having them turn cold before we could eat them was not to our liking.

- Peter Chang added a new meal Christmas party at Gaggan at Gaggan – Bangkok
The collaboration between Gaggan Anand and his "brother from another mother" Fukuyama "Goh" Takeshi - known as "Gohgan" - is always a fun and special affair. It takes place 2 or 3 times a year, and is an opportunity for the two chefs to create new dishes.
