On our arrival, we were warmly greeted and shown to our seats beside the
gently flowing river. The dÈcor is unique to the Bangkok Gardens. Many
items were custom designed and imported from Thailand. Lushly decorated in
teak, the two-storey restaurant is a tropical paradise in the heart of
Toronto.
Vath, our waiter, who has been at Bangkok Gardens since 1984, took the time
to explain Thai cooking and helped us make our selections. He told us that
Thai cooking is based on the principal of balancing the five tastes--sweet,
sour, hot, salty and bitter. I thought they were hot, hotter, very hot,
really hot and hottest.
Our appetizers were an appetizer assortment for two and Vath recommended
some Thai Calamari as well. The appetizers consisted of Curry puffs, Thai
spring rolls, Chicken and Beef Satay and our favourite Naughty Little
Peppers. On a side note, the menu is annotated with little blue pepper
images beside the dishes. One pepper means mildly spicy with little or no
sting. As the menu notes five indicates "Can you take it? This level is
for addicts, masochists and Thai nationals. Order beer and tissues with
these dishes. Management accepts no responsibility for side effects."
Well, our Naughty Little Pepper was rated as five pepper hot. With a great
deal of trepidation, we both took a small bite, all went well so we ate the
rest of the pepper. Water and beer combined seemed to have no affect when
things got hot. Vath came to our rescue with a mouthsaving cranberry and
lemon sherbet. He mentioned that for him beer worked well, so after
inhaling the sherbet we ordered another beer.
Our main course arrived, we split the dishes of Warrior's beef curry (three
pepper rating and quite delicious), Toasted Cashews with Chicken, Basil
Shrimp Stir fry, Jade Greens, and Jasmine Rice. It was almost a shame that
we had to eat, because we would ruin the display of food. The artistry to
which the staff went to prepare and present the food was breathtaking.
Radishes were carved to look like waterlilies. Carrots looked like little
crabs, cucumbers had elaborate leaf patterns etched into the back of them.
Needless to say the dishes were all unbelievably good.
We were surprised with a complimentary dessert of Mangos, sweet rice with
sesame and coconut and fried bananas. Once again the artistry was
spectacular. Vath told us that some of their carvings take up to 20 minutes
to do and that they regularly take courses to learn how to carve these
masterful creations.
Hot towels finished off this unique dinning experience.
Bangkok Gardens boasts that it is North America's premier Thai
restaurants, and that it has won international recognition as one of the
top 10 restaurants in Toronto. It would be difficult to find a better
establishment.
A dinner for two with beer would average between $70-90.
