Surprise Menu

The Bed Supperclub is always on the hitlists for places to go for a night out in Bangkok, so we decided to go and check it out for ourselves. From the outside it looks like a giant simulator, all aglow in pink and once you make it up the ramp, a sliding door leads you into a minimalist space, with beds lining the walls, and pink lighting washing the walls.

We were led to our ‘bed’ upstairs on the balcony, the ideal location for a spot of people watching. Here, we were encouraged to kick off our shoes, lie back, order a drink and makes ourselves at home. We were a little early arriving, which gave plenty of time to get acquainted with the cocktail menu and the place soon filled up and we were then shoulder to shoulder with our fellow supperclub members. The idea of the supperclub is that everyone eats together, the same meal, at the same time.

Tonight, it was a surprise menu, so we had no idea what was coming. We were a little apprehensive about this, as one of the fun parts of eating out is perusing the menu and agonizing over the choices, but happily everything that was handed over was delicious. As there is no room for tables on the beds (a small platform is provided at each seating area for your drinks), every course was designed to be eaten off your knee as if at home curled up in bed.

We started with a Roasted Bell Pepper and Basil soup with a Mozzarella Noodle.

This was followed by a Seared Duck Salad (with some kind of Asian-inspired dressing)

Followed by Beef Fillet, served with Buttery Mash (I seem to remember there was some Foie Gras in their somewhere too)

Then a Mango Sorbet with Ginger Foam palate cleanser

And ending with a Chocolate Brownie with Ice Cream (oops, too many cocktails consumed by this point to be able to take a photo in focus!)

It was a fantastic meal and much fun was had tasting each dish and deciding what we thought the ingredients were before it was flashed up on the screen. What made it such a memorable evening though was the entertainment provided – from the DJ spinning his chill-out tunes, to the lion dance, Chinese acrobats, masseurs and tarot card readers and even a feather duster-weilding ‘cat’- this was certainly an evening we won’t forget in a hurry.
