This is the main branch of this small chain, located in the heart of the Sukhumvit Road area off Soi Asoke on Sukhumvit soi 16. It has recently moved from its Sukhumvit Soi 24 location to this larger space on Sukhumvit Soi 16. It is again, as all the outlying branches, very reasonably priced and catering mainly to a Thai clientele. You may bring your own wine.

Uncle John Restaurant, International, Thai Cooking – Bangkok

Friday, December 16th, 2011

Uncle John

279/2 Suanphlu Soi 8 Bangkok, Thailand
Tel. 081 373 3865
Opening Hours: 6:30-10:30pm daily
Corkage Charge: 100 baht

Uncle John’s is a unique concept in that no one has up to now, been brave enough to dare to try it. Offering both Thai street food and up-market western cuisine similar to what you might find at the nearby Five Star Sukothai Hotel on Sathorn Road, where John, the chef/owner works during the day in the kitchen of the main dining room. The cooking in this humble, revamped street stall is honest, good, and reasonably priced.  French and Italian, Thai and Indian dishes are all professionally presented. In the evening, he works alone with one helper that pops in and out while performing other duties, in the open air in front of the shop-house in a minimally equipped, although well organized makeshift kitchen in front of his twenty-odd seat dining area where customers sit on small, hard stools and wait for the food to arrive, which understandably can take some time at  peak hours. How long he will be able to keep up this pace is questionable, but he is a young man that is obviously, not afraid of work or long hours.
Kick off with a mojito, not too sweet and even a bit on the tart side, unusual to find in this country, or a cold bottle of  Leo, Chang or Singha. We opted for a lobster bisque, sea bass and chicken masala, finishing with a banana crepe with vanilla ice cream and a chocolate tartine, the two desserts available.
They offer a small selection of red and white wines by the bottle and red & white house wine by glass and corkage is only a mere 100 baht.

Bangkok’s Gracious and Affordable Hospitals

Bumrungrad & Samitivej Hospitals

Both of these hospitals are better than world class, and the public areas and dining establishments remind one more of a five star hotel than a hospital, with some restaurants even offering wine and other alcoholic beverages which is a very civilized gesture to patients, and more specifically for their visitors and guests. Good hospitals in the city are not  just limited to these two, and the very fine hospital system in Bangkok is becoming known by many in the Middle East and they arrive here in droves to seek surgical procedures, and then recuperate with a holiday at one of the many tropical islands. What could be better, when you are saving money at the same time!
