So the kids are demanding pizza, but you feel you should eat Thai because you are in Thailand after all, and it will cost a fortune when you get home, your partner wants Japanese because ‘you never take them out for sushi’ and Auntie Evelyn would just like ‘a nice cup of tea dear’.

Where do you go?

The place to satisfy you all and your best friend who wants Vietnamese food, and your uncle who wants Indian, and the cousin who only eats Chinese noodles, is the Foodloft, Central, Chitlom.

This place has “mix and match” food to suit everyone.  And it is very popular with locals and tourists, so it is quite noisy and not at all intimate. We had to wait to get a table for all of us, but then they let us sit for long time after we had finished eating.
 
As we entered we were handed a card with a barcode, which is swiped each time you order from a kitchen, and you either wait for the food to be cooked or ask a waiter to collect it for you after a few minutes. 

The only problem was, we found it was too difficult to choose and in the end we tried a little of everything: dim sum with Caesar salad, tempura with som tom and tacos (there was a special demonstration kitchen doing Mexican food) with phad Thai, all washed down with juices, smoothies or wine.

Oh, and Auntie Evelyn had her nice cup of tea. And a great big piece of sticky chocolate cake too.
