105 The Chef Steakhouse

This month, we are getting off a way to a bit further Sukhumvit 105 (Soi LaSalle) to discover a newly ‘Bite on This’ just opened about 2 or 3 months ago, located next to Bangkok Pattana International School in the middle of Soi 105. “105 The Chef Steakhouse” is another great place that we found offering delicacies of Thai-Chinese-Western, in a very casual dining style for those who are looking for a place to relax among the wonderful atmosphere of the night. The place has two separate area of indoor and outdoor dining. When entering the indoor, we discovered its uniqueness in the contemporary or industrial style, like the wall left with unfinished painting, the ceiling attached with kind of paper and some wordings on it, and the hanging lamps made of wire material, and the area seems to go with the theme of black and red color. Each table is set to be far from each one for an easy, private chit-chat. But if you need more privacy, outdoor is a better recommendation. You can absorb the romantic moment under the candlelight and moonlight, and together with the music from a small band playing at night. The area is also nice with the setting of small waterfall. The food also tastes good. Western food is a bit sweet just like original but some is sour due to the sauce, and for foreigners who can’t handle Thai food, this is just so perfect, whether Spinach Soup (a bit salty but tasty anyway), Chicken Stuffed Spinach with pink sauce, or Bar-B-Q Pork Spare Ribs (the meat is easily chewy), etc. If you want to try Thai food, the specialty we did try was Prawn with the Chef sauce which is also “yum yum”, a bit spicy but we believe that’s good enough for foreigners. Some menus are like showing off the creativity of the chef for real. Then after the main courses, we did try Crepe Suzette with Vanilla ice cream in the middle and sweet fruit (probably orange) sauce. Quite softy and sweet stick to the tongue, and if we weren’t too full, we might order one more. The service is not bad, forgiving for some mistakes since we believe they are quite new. After all, the quantity and the quality of food is all what you can pay for. Count on 1,000 – 1,500 Baht for a group of three.
