(Sunday) Brunch on the River at Millennium Hilton Bangkok
|
Slow roasted lamb loin from the FLOW restaurant |
Sunday is a family day for many people of all races and
backgrounds; local or expats. Sunday is
a good day to get together and do a family activity or go to a place to enjoy a
nice lunch. In western culture where
Christians go to church every Sunday and families would enjoy a feast
afterward. For many it is their first
meal but at lunch time. So, this is
where the concept of the Sunday Brunch came about. Nowadays there are so many Sunday Brunch
buffets at five-star hotels all across town. With the popularity among Thai
families and local expatriates, the concept of Sunday Brunch has become even
more advance; it is the evolution of Sunday brunch. Many hotels are competing in coming up with
their most extravagance feast and this is where we, as food reviewers would
like to get involved.

360 Three-sixty Lounge gives the picturesque view of the Sunday morning from the 32nd floor with the fancy cocktails |
The Millennium Hilton on the Charoennakorn road has just
upgraded their Sunday Brunch with a concept of “SUNDAY BRUNCH ON THE RIVER@
FLOW.” It all begins around 11am with
the Pre-drink at the Three Sixty Lounge, where you will be sipping on fruity
cocktails along with crisp and light snacks while overlooking the Chao Phraya
river nearby and the panoramic view of Bangkok from the 32nd floor
of the Millennium Hilton. Just like the
name Three Sixty, the lounge has spanning windows revolve to almost 360 degree around. The drinks, the live piano, the view; what a
great Sunday so far!

The line buffet from the Maya Restaurant within the FLOW Brunch on the river concept |
After the pre-drink and the appetizers, we were quite ready
for the feast. So, we worked our way
down to the Flow, which is where the Sunday Brunch is happening. Every week, the Millennium Hilton combines
signature dishes from other restaurants in the hotel, which includes Prime Steakhouse,
Maya, and Yuan, to create the massive buffet, the most overwhelming buffet
experience I have ever encountered. It
is not easy to list all of the food presented in the buffet to all of you but
here are some highlights at the Brunch.
|
The cakes at the Lantern, a separate sweet shop by the river,
serving the biggest choices of dessert out of all Sunday Brunch in Bangkok |
Mainly the Flow has the international choices ranges from
raw salads to cold seafood; baked chicken to grilled sea scallop; baked oysters
to roasted lamb. This section of the
buffet offers the greatest variety. Suit
yourself with your favorite picks. The
Prime Steakhouse is known to serve the top notch steaks in Bangkok. At this quarter, they have Caesar salad made
with ingredients of your request. But
the highlight is their premium cuts of red meat such as Roast prime rib, prime
beef tartar. Truffle fondue is a rare
choice that is also available at the Prime Steakhouse section. If you feel like having Thai specialties,
the cooks from Maya will be serving you the local favorites like papaya salad,
stir-fried, and curries. For Dim Sum
lovers, the Yuan, a Chinese restaurant of the Millennium Hilton will impress
you with the Jumbo shrimp Shumai and the tasty BBQ pork. We had a little of everything and food from
the Prime Steakhouse impressed us the most.
The food from Maya and Yuan may take some time to prepare,
so you can order from the staffs and they will bring them right to your table
when ready. Other food selection in line
buffet will be available for you to go back for more from noon until 4pm. There will be plenty of time to cheer up with
a few glass of wine from the bar. There
are a few choices of both red and white wine from several places like
Australia, Chile, California, and France.
Behind the liquor bar is the Cheese room, where you will find various
types of cheese properly kept in the temperate room (19 degree Celsius). Well, we suggest not being at the Flow until
4pm because you will miss out the dessert heaven by the river, the Lantern. Just adjacent to the Flow, the Lantern is
pleasing sweet tooth people with over 20 choices of cakes, ice-cream
teppanyaki, ice-cream spaghetti, chocolate tidbits, and more. After a quick mingle in the dessert heaven,
we headed to the patio seating outdoor with a hand full of delightful desserts
to enjoy near the river. Many loving
couples would look a romantic occasion like this. For families, this is where the kids would go
wild.
The Millennium Hilton is offering the one of a kind feast every
single Sunday from 11am – 4pm. The price
is 1,999 baht net and 2,999 baht net with free flow wine and sparkling. Stir up your lazy Sunday with your friends
and loved ones at the “SUNDAY BRUNCH ON THE RIVER@FLOW.” You will be surprised with today’s trend of
Sunday brunch extravaganza.
