[First Impressions] First time at the refurbished F&B floor of The Athenee Hotel, which currently houses many of the more interesting eating locations in town. First up, The House of Smooth Curry. I wasn't feeling too well yesterday, so was a little worried about how my body would react to an afternoon of authentic Thai flavours. The experience ended up to be a really great one, because The House of Smooth Curry does not emphasize on giving you a punch of extreme taste sensations, but a delicate balance of spices with premium local produce. I loved Chef Ton's mother's curry, which surprised me by the use of minced chicken (and not whole chicken pieces), as well as the fresh grouper used to make their fried fish dish, unlike most restaurants which take the easy way out using sea bass or even worse, tilapia. The chinese-style fragrance of the stir-fried lotus stem (combination of garlic, oyster sauce and fermented soy bean paste) was also super alluring. I guess I will have to add them to my list of recommended Thai restaurants to bring important corporate guests for a good quality and safe local meal (other names being Patara, Celadon and The Local). #thehouseofsmoothcurry #theatheneehotel #ploenchitmyfoot #strangerfirstimpression #authentic #thai #thaifood #strangerinbangkok #เพื่อแซลมอน #tespowerequipment
