Seafood savours at InterContinental Bangkok

You don't have to wait until Friday or the weekend to savour fine seafood at Espresso, the all-day dining venue at InterContinental Bangkok, anymore. Now its famous Premium Seafood Dinner Buffet starts earlier — from Wednesday to Sunday — in case you need a mid-week celebration or pure indulgence.

Feast on impressively fresh and remarkably high-quality offerings from the ocean within the elegant ambience of Espresso. The setup has been tweaked a bit, with a seafood station now located near the entrance to entice passersby.

Here you can find a seafood-on-ice showcase with an unmatched variety. Irish and Fine De Claire oysters are joined by a lush collection of Avruga caviar and roes of salmon, black lumpfish and red lumpfish. There are toppings and other add-ons for these roes for you to make DIY blini pancakes. New Zealand green mussels and sea snails also add to the mollusc varieties.

Continue to be spoilt for choice with chilled crustaceans such as steamed Golden king crab legs, Canadian lobster, Poached river prawns, White prawns and Swimmer crab. Drench them generously with Thai-style seafood sauce, if you can handle the heat. 

The feast continues at the BBQ Station, offering marinated Salmon with dill cream sauce and marinated Tiger prawns with caper butter sauce, with Kung Ob Samun Phrai—roasted Sri Lankan river prawns with Thai herbs and peanut chilli sauce—as the highlight. Now that you have enough on the surf side, you can enjoy the turf side with New Zealand lamb T-bone with fresh herbs and olive oil and Australian wagyu beef steak.

The carvery proudly presents Roasted Australian beef striploin cooked with fresh herbs and Whole Salmon baked in rock salt and Thai herbs.

From the Chinese station, you can get the BBQ trio — Roasted duck wrap, Crispy pork belly and Char siu — on top of dim sum.

Japanophiles should be very pleased with a wide range of sashimi slices, freshly crafted nigiris and makis as well as tempura on offer at the Japanese station. There are also a variety of pre-cooked dishes from different cuisines that you can help yourself to, too.  

When ordering a pasta dish from the Live Cooking Station, don't forget to place your order with the cards from your table and just wait to be served hot at your table later. Spinach ravioli in truffle sauce is definitely worth the wait.  

Save some room for a sweet finale with Crêpes Suzette with choices of Nutella, strawberries or chocolate or Thai mango sticky Rice. The dessert station even includes Chocolate fountain with its own spread of fresh seasonal fruits.

To sweeten up the memorable meal, diners get to be serenaded with live music performances while savouring seafood on Friday and Saturday nights from 6.30-9.30pm.
