Festive feasts abound at The Siam Kempinski

The Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok prepares for the upcoming festival season with exotic culinary offers and enchanting entertainment.

From this month, Hanuman Bar is stocking festive hampers featuring Christmas fruit cake, macarons, Christmas cookies, Dresdner stollen, Christmas pudding, festive-enhanced granola and more. The Heritage hamper is priced at Bt3,900 and the Connoisseur goes for Bt7,000. Customers can also personalize their own hamper from the a-la-carte collection.

On Thanksgiving Day this Thursday (November 23), guests can dine on a traditional feast of slow-cooked butterball Turkey with stuffing and gravy, roasted USA prime rib with red wine jus, honey-glazed ham with mustard, roasted pumpkin bisque with pumpkin seed and pumpkin oil soup, as well as Maryland crab cake with chipotle sour cream and a pastrami Rueben sandwich with thousand island dressing.

The buffet also includes Brasserie Europa’s Seafood on Ice with snow crab legs, tiger prawn, scallops in shells, oysters and mussels with traditional condiments.

The extravagant dessert station is a fitting finale to this annual Thanksgiving celebration with traditional pumpkin pie, cranberry pie, red velvet cake, maple cheesecake with roasted apples, rhubarb clafoutis, a premium Dulcey chocolate fountain with a variety of condiments and American doughnuts.
