What better way to end a fruitful trip (shopping, that is) to Bangkok than to enjoy sumptuous good food with a bird's eye view of the city itself at night. We decided to head to the Saffron Restaurant at Banyan Tree Hotel.
We opted for the cosy comfort of the indoor restaurant as the outdoor was extremely windy and would you believe it, cold !! Food prices are a few times higher than what you would get from an average restaurant in the city, so we only ordered a few dishes.. Well, we planned to head for some shopping and food at the night market anyway..

| The appetisers |
The best way to sample everything is to order this platter.
 |
| Rice crackers and sauce |
Yummy, crunchy starter. Love the sauce.
 |
| Dessert- water chestnut wrapped with glutinous rice coconut syrup |
Tastier than those sold outside. The perfect combo of the crunchy chestnut and its springy wrapping.
 |
| Lemon grass ice-cream |
Tasted a bit like vanilla ice-cream with a hint of lemon grass flavour.
Psst.... the restaurant offers a wide selection of rice (i.e glutinous, fragrant, brown, etc) and they are free-flow.. So even though we didn't order that many dishes, we were quite full..

| The night view |
We took this night view from the Saffron Restaurant but a better way to enjoy the night view without burning a hole in your pocket is to simply have drink at Pier 39 and just soak into the gorgeous, gorgeous night view..
