Rongros Bangkok - Michelin guide restaurant

 Bangkok - Here in Bangkok there are 204 restaurants that are listed in the Michelin guide and this restaurant is one of the many but there food is very good and reasonably priced.  Rongros is along the Chao Praya river with an excellent view at night.

Lesley and I arrived at the restaurant around 6pm with no reservation and very luckily had one table left near the entrance.  It was so popular that the waiters had to turn away patrons every 15 minutes so it is best to reserve in advanced.

Mangosteen salad

A very unique dish of sweet and savoury with the sweetness coming from the mangosteen.  This is the first time I have eaten mangosteen as part of a cooked dish.

Fish Tom Yum

It was very spicy dish and the waiters were so kind to provide us a free cooler drink seeing us sweating and hissing from the spiciness.  The fish was fresh - just ate the ingredients and left the spicy soup aside.

Green curry with Ribeye

This is one of their signature dish that most restaurant rarely cooked with beef which most Buddhist avoid in their cooking.   But this dish was creamy, tasty and the ribeye was tender. 

Palo Egg stew

A very similar Chinese dish of 3-layer pork and egg.   The pork and eggs is soaked in with the delicious bland of herbs and spices.   A very good dinner that cost Baht 1,684 (SGD 67.3) with the Singapore dollar appreciated to 25 baht to 1.

As evening settles, the atmosphere was just lovely along the river bank with the glass plane of the restaurant showing the beautiful river.
