Emporuim Park Food Court, Bangkok

Emporium Shopping Centre, Near Sukhumvit Soi 24

It was 4pm when we ordered lunch and naturally, we ordered up a storm.

We had stopped for a bite at the newly renovated Emporium and found to our delight, a brand new “food court” concept at the Park Food Court on the 5th floor. It works very much like Marche in Singapore where each customer is issued with a card where all purchases are recorded onto and paid for as you leave.

However this place goes one step further: upon each order at the different food stalls, hand your receipt over to one of the many service staff at the food hall and they will bring your dish to your table. They will even help you order your drink. It’s like a hybrid of a food court and a restaurant and this seems to be the trend for most of the higher-end food courts in Bangkok.

But back to where it all counts: this was our first meal on arrival in the city (my second visit within a month) and the hungry lot of us just had to have it all. We filled our table with bowls of beef noodles that was served with the richest of broth and most delicate of rice noodles – slurppppp…; pad thai (Thai style fried noodles) that was a little on the sweet side; som tam (papaya salad) and yum woon sen (vermicelli salad) that were served with a fiery kick, a delicious tom yum gung (spicy Thai prawn soup), larb (minced pork salad) that we wiped out all too quick, and a Vietnamese grilled meat wrap that was as tasty as it looked. We washed it all down with their concoctions of tea: rose and logan. We left feeling very happy of course.
