Thailand’s first INNSiDE by Meliá hotel is hauling in locally sourced seafood, and announced it will be breaking out the tables every Friday and Saturday evening for a buffet dubbed the ‘Weekend Seafood Catch’.
Highlights of the feast at INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit’s all-day dining restaurant, The Kites Eatery, include grilled Ayutthaya river prawns, fresh seafood on ice such as oysters, rock lobsters, crabs, clams and mussels, and the steamed catch of the day.
Other buffet options include spicy salmon sashimi, grilled scallops, hot dishes such as crab curry and Thai beef noodles, colourful salads, roast vegetables, a selection of cold cuts and cheeses, and desserts such as playful cakes with customised ‘INNSiDE’ chocolate pieces. The seafood is accompanied by various condiments, including the recommended chilli sauce.
Fashioned by executive chef Katisak ‘Note’ Pinkaew and his team, the Weekend Seafood Catch is served every Friday and Saturday between 6:00 pm and 10:00 pm.
Situated on the hotel’s 31st floor, The Kites Eatery is dominated by soaring windows giving way to spectacular views of Bangkok. It is adorned with abstract artwork of kites - a reference to the popular pastime of kite flying in state park Sanum Luang. Open from 6.30 am to 11:00 pm, the restaurant serves up central, northern, northeastern and southern Thai cuisine a la minute using quality ingredients sourced from local farms. The hotel’s chefs serve a healthy buffet breakfast, a la carte menu from noon, and customised lunches and banquets for meetings and events.
The hotel’s dining landscape has paid homage to Meliá’s Spanish origins and celebrates Spain’s gastronomy. LUZ Bangkok Tapas Bar offers authentic tapas, Spanish wines, beer on tap, cocktails and signature sangrias. By night, the hotel’s 34th floor, featuring a pool bar, transparent infinity pool, and rooftop terrace dotted with outdoor lounges, sunbeds and a compelling contemporary interpretation of Bangkok’s Brahman structure, The Giant Swing, all become an upper-floor extension of 33rd floor LUZ Bangkok Tapas Bar.
