DON GIOVANNI ITALIAN RESTAURANT
CENTARA GRAND LADPRAO
Centara Grand Ladprao is one of the top 5 star hotel that holds some of the most interesting yet unique F&B outlets in Bangkok. In my previous stays with CGLB , there was much fond memories, be it it the Blue Sky RoofTop Bar & Dinning, Dynasty Chinese Restaurant where i have my favourite chinese double boil soups or Hagi Japanese Restaurant where i sink my teeth into the freshness of Japanese prepared sea food and star dish Wagyu beef keeps me going back for more when ever i revisit Centara Grand Ladprao Bangkok. And the above mentioned was just few of the 9 beautiful F&B outlets you could savor a varieties of a delicacy from East to West and traditional or fusion traditional Thai cuisines. Even though it wasn't the first time i noticed about this classy outlook Don Giovanni Italian Restaurant when i was checking in or my usual relaxing time at the lobby. I was always wondering and curious about hows the experience going to be , in that cozy faint lighted ambiance looking through the glass windows from the lobby... Therefore i was delighted , when i finally got the time and opportunity to experience Don Giovanni during my last visit to Centara grand ladprao near end of 2015. And the reason to only share my experience with Don Giovanni in the beginning of 2016 is obvious, i see it as the best way to welcome year 2016 introducing the warm, cosy trattoria- inspired restaurant serving flavours of Italian fine cuisine.
I was greeted by the soul of Don Giovanni , Chef Stefano from Italy. Once i was comfortably seated in the rustic ambiance restaurant. Chef Stefano was swift as wind recommending their day special and some signature dishes to my personal likings from starter, wine selections from their wine cell , side dishes , main course and desserts. Our conversations was one of the most heart enlightening one and the rest of the time savouring the dishes was truly amazing...

Pinot Nero Trentino Mezzacorona Vintage 2012.
As i am not a usual drinker or wine lover , the red wine ( shown above picture ) that Chef Stefanon presented was very smooth and soothing to the throat , and thus Pinot Nero Trentino Mezzacorona Vintage 2012 was a good start for a non drinker like me before moving into the starter of the day .
Being a small eater , portions or the way food is prepare is very important for me. My personal eating habits and taste was usually on lighter side , so that it allows me to savour more . It was a great choice to start with the freshness and layered textures of greens and herbs , created by the Rocket Salad , especially for all healthy eaters.
The 1st part of the overall experience with Don Giovanni was indeed delightful . But the following dish which i rarely goes for is one of my personal favourite . Cause i am usually not a red meat eater, but i was attracted to the name given to this dish and with Chef Stefano's strong recommendation , i decided to give it a try . And the ending result was better than expected, especially the tenderness of the loin together with wild mushrooms and rich tasty gravy pushed me to clear the plat without much difficulties.

If the Rocket salad was a good kick start , the next dish Pan-fried foie gras with Alaskan Scallop was a gem among the others . The light crispy layer outside and succulent inside scallop was a must try for all seafood lovers

By now , i am almost half fulled , but without any hesitation , i am pampering myself for once with the dish that i personal choose, the sea food platter. But my main aim was the Snow Fish. Cause i remembered the previous time i had a snow fish dish with Centara Grand Ladprao Bangkok was at their Japanese Restaurant Hagi . The sea food platter once again challenged my appetite to my limit . Amazingly i managed to taste a decent portion of each seafood. At the end of it , i found another word for the experience, home style, that's the kind of taste that created a longing experience , especially when one is away from home.

I thought i would be too full for anymore challenge after the previous tantalizing
side dish and main courses . Surprisingly i went on with a nice cup of Italian coffee , hopefully to make my experience complete with Don Giovanni. So far this have broke the record of my pass gourmet experience. But i must say in a very good way and full satisfaction. Not to mention the romantic ending dessert Chocolate Bon Bon , created a perfect closure for this treat.

The overall experience with Don Giovanni was exquisite and impressive , from ambiance , services to food quality and standards have left an impression that lust for a long time. It will be one of my favourite choice of unique Italian cuisine. If you happens to be in Bangkok this season , don't miss the current the chance to pamper your taste buds .
