Bangkok: Fabio Steak House

Merry X'mas and Happy Boxing Day to all my readers out there who celebrated it. Hope you all have a great day!

Last Friday, I went out for dinner with P, my oldest friend ever. We've been friends since primary school and always kept in touch though we went to different high school and uni etc. Amazingly we never lost touch at all and we happen to live in the same neighbourhood too! We supposed to meet up way way before but then the flood came and so on, we only were able to reschedule our meeting now. I suggested we should have Italian at Fabio Steak House which isn't far from our homes.

X'mas decoration

This place is like a hidden gem because their food is very good but not in swanky area like in Sukhumvit or Silom. I was introduced to this place by my uni friend, MM, who also lives close-by to me. We always came here for food when she or I were still in Bangkok. Now she's in the US. I heard she's coming back soon so maybe I can arrange a luncheon or dinner with her here for old time's sake!

baked mashed potato with spinach and bacon

spicy shrimp salad

For starters, P ordered the baked mashed potato with spinach and bacon while I recommended the spicy shrimp salad. The potato was nice and a good way to start the meal, though P said it was quite creamy/buttery but still nice. The salad was my and many's favourite. It was mixing between Western style mayo dressing and Thai style spicy and sour dressing. It sounded gross but it turned out very nice. This is the dish to order no matter you can stand the heat or not. It's a must!

We ordered their spaghetti with sauages in pesto sauce to share. Personally, I think this place made the best non-creamy pasta, say aglio olio, pesto or even tomato-based. This dish wasn't disappointing at all. The pesto wasn't too heavy to overpower other taste in the dish. Very nice.

I was craving pizza so bad so we ordered one to share. I can't remember the exact name but something that has mushroom, ham and black olives coz I love the black olives! I love the original thin slices pizza so much. The crispiness makes everything perfect. Their portion wasn't too which made us able to eat other stuffs too - that's what I also like about this place.

I told to P to spare her tummy for dessert coz this place's Crêpe Suzette is like the bomb! They would made it in front of you with the Flambé and stuffs so if you are on a date or with children, it's highly recommended dish. They served it with peach slices and vanilla ice cream and orange sauce. Very yummy.

I really love this place and everyone whom I introduced this place to also love them. Definitely on the top list of my fave restaurant!

Bangkok: Palazzo Ristorante & Wine Bar

Sorry for being quiet these days. I have been busy. I know, cliché but it's still applicable. I was in high mood since 2 weeks ago, expecting good news. Turned out, it wasn't good news. It wasn't rejection that disappointed me, it was more like I'm upset with present stage of life. Anyhow, life goes on and I will try my best to overcome it.

A dinner at Palazzo last Saturday is the usual get-together with me and my NGO friends. We did heavy research on place we should go and finally came down to Palazzo for food wise. To be honest, it was a bit more high-end for us when it comes to their decorating. Yet, it was cozy.

Bread & Butter

Baked Lobster Soup

Me and D1 were the first to arrive, as usual. So we only ordered grilled vegetable with olive and balsamic dressing, spinach soup and baked lobster soup to try. The first taste of baked lobster soup was brilliant. I was liking that. However, the more you ate, the taste just got so strong. Too strong that it did give out tomato soup taste. Spinach soup was mild and I found it quite good (D1 wasn't approving though).


Grilled veggies were pleasant. I like everything in the plate esp. Shitake mushroom and bell peppers. Although the portion is quite big to finish by two of us.


The first drink I had was Mojito, very refreshing after a long day. Afterward, we opted for Prosecco with the help of very attentive staff in choosing wine.


Then D2 came, she ordered Fettucini with salmon and vodka sauce. It looked small, comparing with the side of dish but it wasn't. They also gave generous amount of salmon in the dish as well.

Crepe Suzette

Warm Chocolate Cake

We decided to make room for desserts tonight so we ordered Crepe Suzette and Warm Chocolate cake. They both were nice.


We finished off a bottle of Prosecco that night. In a way, that night was my sulking night. The night everyone told me to be patient and looked for new chapters in life. I guess, after all, nothing beats good friends and family who support you.
