The Deck By The River


Adding to its strikingly impressive setting is a delightful menu that ranges from French, Italian to Thai dishes, delicately crafted by executive chef Charoen Wongputhorn. Among the eatery's signature creations for starters is pumpkin soup, served in a generous portion; probably best to share between two people. New Zealand mussels smothered with tomato sauce proves to be a creation of absolute delight, a tribute to the skill of the chef. The mussels are extraordinarily fresh and complement the slightly tangy and aromatic sauce excellently. For mains, one dish not to be missed is pan-grilled rack of lamb served with blanched zucchini. Grilled Australian tenderloin served with foie gras and steamed spinach is another must-try. The meat is beautifully tender and scented with butter and the foie gras is perfectly crispy on the outside but smooth on the inside. Then finish off with guanaja chocolate fondant and pistachio ice cream.

Perfect for those in search of a romantic place to dine, the deck overlooks the Chao Phraya River and offers indoor seating as well as a terrace for al-fresco dining.

Appetisers and salads are superb, entrees less stellar. Chicken liver and bacon in red wine sauce is a trio of tender morsels wrapped by meaty flavourful bacon in an aromatic sauce. Spicy wing bean salad with shrimps is authentically spicy with a nam prik pao dressing that is excellent. Tomato, mozzarella, avocado and dried fruit salad with vinaigrette dressing is a delightfully generous mélange of dates, apricots, currants and prunes. Duck with olives presents a tasty gravy but the meat is dry. Grilled sea bass with rocket and fresh herbs salad with lemon dressing is well executed. Tagliatelle with pork ragout is a combination of delicate pasta and melt-in-the-mouth tender meat. Judging from other tables, Thai dishes reign supreme, especially the house noodle dishes.

The airy sunlit atrium of the Peninsula Plaza is accented by linen umbrellas, dark furniture and colourful quirky sculptures.
