Indulge in a sumptuous array of culinary delights, all while basking in an ambience that merges elegance with the warmth of gathering among friends and family.
The moment guests take their first sip of elegantly chilled sparkling wine, they are transported into a mesmerising culinary adventure that boasts over 80 meticulously crafted dishes. Each dish is a vibrant celebration of flavour, showcasing an enticing variety of unlimited à -la-carte main courses cooked to perfection right before your eyes. This dedication to preparation ensures that every bite is bursting with freshness and an array of vibrant tastes, creating a symphony of flavours that delight and dance on the palate, leaving a lasting impression.
One of the standout dishes on the à la carte menu is the Grilled Wagyu, a culinary masterpiece that showcases an exceptional marbling score of 6+. Each tender bite offers a sumptuous melt-in-your-mouth experience, accentuated by the rich, buttery flavours of the beef. Accompanying this exquisite meat is a velvety potato fondant that complements the dish perfectly. At the same time, delicate disks of shaved aromatic black truffle add an indulgent earthiness, elevating the entire dish to an unforgettable gastronomic delight.
Mint-crusted Australian Lamb is a noteworthy à la carte dish, featuring a lamb rack coated with a fragrant mint crust and grilled to juicy perfection. It is complemented by a rich lamb jus that enhances its savoury flavours, while a vibrant vegetable roulade adds a touch of colour and freshness to the plate. This dish beautifully marries elegance with robust taste, making it a must-try for any discerning palate.
Baked Halibut en Papillote is a tantalising dish boasting succulent halibut fillets delicately wrapped in parchment paper, creating a steam-infused cooking environment. This culinary delight is beautifully complemented by the briny richness of premium oyster and the luxurious bursts of oscietra caviar, offering a decadent experience for the palate. With aromatic herbs and vegetables nestled alongside the fish, each bite reveals layers of flavour.
Another highlight is the sweet, succulent Hokkaido Scallops, celebrated for their delicate flavour and velvety texture. These pristine scallops are adorned with the opulent richness of foie gras Rossini, an indulgent touch that tantalises the senses and elevates the experience to new heights. Each element of the dish harmonises beautifully, creating a symphony of flavours that is equally luxurious and memorable.
In the pasta and rice section of the à la carte menu, the Seafood Risotto stands out as a culinary masterpiece. This dish features perfectly cooked short-grain rice, each grain tender yet delightfully al dente, eagerly absorbing a rich, aromatic tomato-based stock. Succulent river prawns add a touch of sweetness, while the tender Hokkaido scallops bring a buttery richness, and delicate uni introduces a briny depth that elevates the dish. Together, these ingredients create a symphonic blend of flavours and textures, making every bite a luxurious experience of the sea.
Meanwhile, the hotel's talented Chinese culinary team embraces time-honoured traditions and artistry, crafting handcrafted dim sum that is skillfully steamed to order. Each delicate dumpling reveals a perfect balance of flavour and texture, promising an unforgettable gastronomic experience that harmonises tradition with innovation. Among these culinary masterpieces, the Shrimp and Abalone Siu Mai stands out as the star attraction, boasting a tender wrapper that encases a succulent shrimp and is topped with braised abalone.
In addition to the exquisite à -la-carte offerings, a lavish buffet teeming with culinary treasures awaits discovery. Guests will be entranced by a stunning seafood station, featuring an array of succulent lobsters and the finest selections from the ocean, artfully displayed to entice the senses. Here, diners are invited to indulge in a delightful assortment of five distinct varieties of plump, briny oysters.
The buffet also features an array of international cuisines: Chinese, Japanese and European. Among the highlights are Thai specialities bursting with vibrant colours and inviting aromas that tantalise the senses. Here, one can find comfort in the vibrant profile of Pad Thai, the rich, savoury depth of Massaman, and an array of other delectable dishes, each crafted to offer an authentic taste of Thailand's culinary heritage.
Heightening the thrill of the experience are vibrant live stations dedicated to the art of grilling and the intricate preparation of sushi. Behind the grill, skilled chefs showcase their culinary mastery, expertly searing an array of succulent meats and colourful, grilled vegetables. The mouthwatering aromas—a blend of smoky char and savoury spices—waft through the air, enveloping guests in a rich sensory experience that excites the senses.
Meanwhile, at the sushi station, the chefs wield their knives with precision, deftly slicing through glistening slabs of fresh fish—luscious salmon, rich hamachi, silvery saba, and deep-red tuna. The tuna is separated into akami and chutoro, allowing diners to indulge in both cuts. All these fish are turned into exquisite sashimis and nigiris. In addition, they skillfully roll meticulously curated makis, filled with a harmonious blend of ingredients that tantalise the taste buds.
The charcuterie station also offers a live performance of paper-thin slicing of Iberico ham. The rhythmic motion of the knife glides through the marbled meat, releasing a rich aroma that fills the air, drawing attention to the artistry behind this savoury delight. Each slice, thin and perfectly crafted, showcases the deep hues and intricate textures of the ham, elevating the experience for all who gather to watch and savour.
For individuals aspiring to the ultimate luxury, Dusit Thani Bangkok distinctively provides complimentary Dom Pérignon as a feature of its exclusive brunch package, rendering this experience absolutely essential.
Cheese enthusiasts can delight in a variety of cheeses that showcase the unique flavours of their regions. Revel in the nutty, buttery notes of Manchego from Spain, with its firm texture and rich, sheep's milk profile. Experience the bold and tangy essence of Blue Stilton from England, renowned for its creamy texture and striking blue veins that offer a complex taste. Journey to France with the luscious Camembert, whose soft, velvety rind encases a rich, buttery interior. Delight in the rustic charm of Tomme de Savoie, with its earthy aroma and slightly crumbly texture, or savour the distinctively log-shaped Sainte-Maure de Touraine, boasting a delicate, tangy flavour and a hint of the Loire Valley's herbs.
As the grand feast draws to a close, a breathtaking dessert display comes into view, featuring an array of exquisite artisanal pastries that tantalise the senses.
