Frommer's Review
The relatively new Le Bua hotel has brought to Bangkok a unique Asian seafood experience that will amaze anyone who braves the giddy heights of this alfresco restaurant on the 51st and 52nd floors of State Tower. After crossing a long, illuminated "skybridge," descend into a cozy outdoor terrace overlooking the city. The fusion-inspired menu focuses on top-notch dim sum; fresh fish, such as steamed cod; and some contemporary pan-Asian seafood delicacies, including poached South Australian lobster and wasabi prawns and soft-shell crab (some of which can cause major collateral damage to the holiday budget). The menu also includes items such as a wide selection of barbecued meats, imported lamb rack, or prime rib-eye steak, and some decent desserts such as the Breeze On Ice, a selection of mousses with cantaloupe served on crushed ice. If you really want to splash out, there are rare Scotch whiskies or world-class wine labels (such as Chateau Petrus) priced at the equivalent of a first-class airfare back home. They're guaranteed to blow you -- and, if you're not careful, your wallet -- away. Advance reservations are obligatory, and a dress code applies to all fine-dining venues in State Tower.
