The Blue Sky @ Sofitel Centara Ladprao is another rooftop
restaurant with the picturesque view of our capital city, Bangkok. Luxurious atmosphere of this European restaurant
is on the 24th floor of the Sofitel Central Plaza next the newly
renovated Central Ladprao. Open for
business at six pm, early enough to catch the soft blue sky happening during
the sunset. If you were late to get a
table outside, there are interior dining areas for you as well. Tables on the rooftop terrace are arranged
with privacy and comfort; more than enough distant to other tables, which left
the whole area to fit only more than ten tables. And the indoor, there are a couple of dens
with for private groups. So if you go
during holidays or high season, I would suggest making a reservation ahead of
the time.
The food here at the Blue Sky @ Sofitel Centara Ladprao mainly
concentrates on the European and International fusion style. Similar to many other rooftops restaurants
such as Red Sky, Vertigo, or Scirocco, featuring dishes were not far from
Pastas or Steaks. It would be nice to
find a fancy Thai fusion dishes with this kind of atmosphere. The small selection at these restaurants is a
disappointing aspect as well. Attracting
aspect of this particular rooftop dining is the price. Much lower, compare to other ones mentioned
above. The details of the menu can be
found in the tab menu as usual.
We ordered a total of four dishes and two desserts. We chose the ones that had recommend markings. First one on the table was the Blue Sky
Salad. It was a green mix with Foie Gras
and smoked duck breast with a raspberry dressing (540 Baht). This salad was tasty and savory with the foie
gras and the duck, contrasted delightfully with the sweet and fruity dressing. Taste of freshness ensured the use of quality
ingredients. Next plate was the Lumaconi
pasta with Tiger Prawn in Cabonara and Truffle oil (650 Baht). This particular pasta was interesting; looked
like a fat stuffed shell but in fact hollow.
It was my first time so I didn’t know.
The air popped out as I forked it, puzzled me to a fool. The ball shell of Lumaconi was tasty with the
prawn and the creamy sauce; too bad that we only got four pieces of them.
The next one was a red tomato seafood soup, served with garlic
bread (360 Baht). We had this one split
into two equal portions for my friend and I to enjoy. Spoonful of the broth at first tasted mild and
watery. Then I stirred it up and mix all
the contents, which brought up the seasoning at the bottom to spice up the
whole more. Now we are talking, the
seafood mix was delicious smothered in the tangy and herby aroma. Supposedly our main course was the Tenderloin
of beef grilled spiny lobster tail, crushed potato olive and balsamic bacon
sauce. We ordered it Medium Rare and the
chef did it Well-done, which was too dry and chewy. We were so disappointed. What is up with Thai people that like their
steak well done? I just don’t get it.
For this upscale restaurant, how could this happen? A chef should know
better how long to grill it for. I
assumed it was because the fact we were the first ones to order and the grill
wasn’t well heated. (Being a fan of USDA’s beef choice, so I know my grilling
and I get upset with badly prepared steaks. -*- )
After the frustration with the Main dish, we had to order the
desserts as their chance to make up for the mistake. Our sweet endings were triple flavors
Ice-cream mix of chocolate and sorbet (190 Baht) and a Tiramisu platter (195
Baht). Both of which came with
attractive presentation and they were yummy.
These budget price desserts were satisfying and did end our meal
happily.
The Blue Sky may not be on the
tallest building like other ones in Bangkok but the view and the overall
atmosphere could easily offer a romantic dinner with your lovers, as well as to
please a group of your closed friends. Due
to the difference in height, the prices reduced in which made the place a lot
more affordable. At Blue Sky, their cuisine
may not be as impressive but all dishes were good quality and delicious (Well,
exclude the overdone steak). Besides
being a fine dining, this full option rooftop restaurant can be a great spot
for easy bites to go with your pick from their fancy cocktails list while
enjoying the city lights brightening the dark blue sky. The Rooftop restaurant bar @ Sofital Central
Plaza Ladprao is definitely qualified to be a hot and stylish nightlife
attraction spot in Bangkok.
