Shaken, Stirred, and Seduced: A Cocktail Masterclass at Asai Hotel

My recent cocktail workshop at Err bar in Asai Hotel was a delightful blend of education and indulgence. The inviting atmosphere of the bar, coupled with the expert guidance of the mixologist, made for an unforgettable experience.

The workshop began with a brief overview of the history and techniques of cocktail making. Our instructors Khun M and Khun Fluke were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, sharing fascinating anecdotes and tips along the way. We then got down to business, learning how to prepare new recipe cocktails with melon and dragonfruit.

The hands-on experience was particularly enjoyable. We were provided with all the necessary tools and ingredients, and the instructor patiently guided us through each step of the process. It was a great opportunity to learn new skills and experiment with different flavors.

The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the tasting session. We had the chance to sample our creations and compare them to the instructor's expertly crafted cocktails. It was a delicious way to appreciate the nuances of each drink and to see how small changes can make a big difference.

Overall, the cocktail workshop here at Asai Hotel was a fantastic experience. Whether you're a seasoned cocktail enthusiast or just looking for something fun to do, I highly recommend...

This restaurant is located on the second floor of a hotel, and we were greeted upon arrival. The service was friendly but quite slow; we had to wave them down to get utensils and water after our food arrived.

Now, onto the food: everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! My favorites included (14) Nang Kai Tort, which is chicken skin that strangely tasted like potato chips but was very good; (25) Moo Sam Chan, koji-marinated pork belly with excellent sauce and seasoning; (25) Pad Gra Pao Nua, minced beef with basil and a fried egg; and (36) Yum Kai Dao, a spicy salad with egg and toasted rice that burned my mouth but was impossible to stop eating. My least favorite was (12) Khao Niew, steamed sticky rice, which was bland and slightly too firm.

We also ordered a highball and a Sathorn Thai. However, the Sathorn Thai required multiple follow-ups before it finally arrived, and it tasted like just gin and lemongrass because they seemed to have forgotten the brown sugar. After adding the brown sugar ourselves, it tasted much better. Overall, the food was good, and we are glad we got to try it. The total cost for everything we ordered was...

I recently visited Err Sathorn for a dinner reunion with some old friends who happen to be staying at the ASAI hotel where the restaurant is located.

Hospitality: We were served by a lovely lady name Aus and she was really helpful in helping us pick dishes that would be suitable to our spice tolerance. Her recommendations were spot on. The good thing is, the staff working at the restaurant also speaks English. So no trouble ordering your meals here.

F&B: The food was spectacular. Yes it is fusion but it stays true to the Thai flavour profiles. I specifically loved the 'Khao Tort Pla Insri Kem' which is a mackerel rice ball. It was spicy but it gave the right punch in flavours and saltiness. Such a great appetiser. We also had their special cocktails which was also good.

Ambiance: The ambiance takes cues from the local booming art scene in Bangkok. In a nutshell it was colourful and fun.

I would recommend Err Stahorn for those who are looking to have a delicious dinner reconnecting with people. The menu is slightly more expensive than the street food but it was worth the splurge. :-)

I look forward to visiting this...
