Pakdokter had been to the Lebua State Tower on previous trips to Bangkok but was happy to take the family there again this time. The open-air dining at the 64th floor roof-top (the Dome) was fully booked so we had to settle for the upmarket fine-dining indoor restaurant on the 64th floor called 'the Mezzaluna'.
The restaurant offered only 2 choices of dining experience - a 6-course degustation (tasting menu) or a 3-course set menu with a few selections for each of the courses. The degustation menu comes with a choice of paired wines with each of the courses.
The menu changes every day depending on what the 3 chefs decide to buy from the fresh-market that day.
For pakdokter's night out there, the day's dishes were mostly fish and seafood. The set came in small portions so that one can really enjoy every one of them to the end. They were also tops in the way the dishes were presented.
The price was naturally steep for such an establishment - in the range of RM400 to RM700 per head.
The open-air roof-top restaurant was fully booked but the Sky Bar was accessible for drinks and for a commanding view of the city. The Chao Phraya meanders by the side of the Lebua State Tower and the Bangkok Shangrila only rose up about half-way the height of the State Tower .
