MK Restaurant Gold

Supposed you are asking me where my most favourite restaurant is, then I would go and say… YES!… that’s “MK”, that’s the one. I believe this name is quite familiar for all of you, right… since all of sudden, you see its name almost everywhere you go, especially in any shopping malls. As we all know, “MK” is a sukiyaki restaurant with several branches in Thailand for many years, but do you know it’s now open up to 200 restaurants? And the 200th one has recently been opening up to really welcome the New Year 2006 and celebrate the new Siam Paragon, a new world of shopping experience, just opening in December 2005. Then what a better chance to do two explorations at a time! The first thing quite stimulated our interests was its different look inside when seeing from outside, and we looked at the name. It’s said “MK Restaurant GOLD, 200th celebration restaurants” with its “Gold” logo name that is like “WOW! What a hi-so”. What a unique and different is that, the place is very luxurious and we could tell it as the first fine dining MK restaurant in Thailand, with the décor of two crystal lights hanging from the ceiling and all seats are red and soft, not as wooden seats as other locations, even in the waiting area. Even though the place is not as much spacious as other branches such as at Tesco Lotus Onnut or Central City Bangna, it seems it’s separated into 3 areas – private and corner area with sofa seat, central/hall area, and crowded area containing many tables close to each one. We discovered that the privacy area is most unique with the theme of black color even sofa and together with discotheque lights as if we were in the club serving sukiyaki, ha… sound cool? Then adding more uniqueness for the place with “GOLD” pot, ceramic bowl and spoon, and napkin instead of tissue paper. And you must be aware that they do not serve free cold water here as usual, I mean tea, if you want a cheap drink, then order mineral water from a drink menu. The menu is another difference for this branch with a wide range of items and menu sets such as several kinds of mushrooms (like King of Oyster Mushrooms, Hungarian Mushrooms, Bhutan Mushrooms), Sea Mussels (really imported from New Zealand), Corn added in Vegetable set, and Mushroom set (just like healthy set of Vegetable). The taste is still good and delicious, after all, especially when adding suki sauce in the bowl. And if you want to try Dim Sum here, do not even wait for Dim Sum on cart coming to your way since they are available only from the menu at a bit high price but bigger piece. For me, I am very much impressive in the service here. All servers seem being well-trained when they do like bowing to customers most of the time with friendly and warm smile, and they are around every corner to be ready for your first and next orders. And they also serve fast. We notice that they also dress well in “gold”. Count on 400 to 800 Baht for a group of two. We could say this MK GOLD is another different feel that can never really happen to you while dining in other MKs.
