We've their family tasting menu, which is less than the full tasting menu: but it’s still bit too much for me to stomach.

This Michelin 1 star restaurant is in the Sukhothai (site), a few steps from our hotel COMO.

The story of Thai celadon: "Behind this modern stoneware from Thailand is a story that goes back more than two thousand years in time. Celadon 青瓷 is known as the aristocratic oriental ancestor of the pottery family and takes its name from the elegant glaze developed by the master potters of the northern China to duplicate their beloved opaque jade. ..."

Coming off a busy street, the lotus ponds put you in a serene mood. The high-ceiling interior is tastefully decorated. Orchard at the entrance and a single lotus flower at each bare table, beautiful and straightforward. The glass partition makes the two areas spacious.

Their service is good. Well-trained staff are around but not intrusive.

The food: from crabmeat-filled dumplings to grilled chicken (free-range) skewers, to big river prawns, ... I find the veggie Morning Glory with garlic and red pepper the most interesting: it's the 通心菜, the most ordinary veggie in Hong Kong, that I love. Not that I mind, but I'm a little surprised to find it served the way an ordinary restaurant on Main Street does. When I've guests over, I always put the veggies in a bowl, then flip it onto a serving plate to give it a slight shape.

Coming down a high horse, is...

Celadon, located within The Sukhothai hotel, offers an upscale dining experience that combines culinary and cultural elements. However, our experience with the tasting menu was hindered by timing issues, making it less enjoyable.

The restaurant's ambiance exudes elegance, and the service is attentive. However, the reservation time for each course was excessive, defeating the purpose of a tasting menu, which relies on precise timing and progression. This impacted the overall flow of the meal and diminished the experience.

While the food itself was not bad, it didn't deliver the wow factor we anticipated. The dishes were well-presented and had decent flavors, but they failed to leave a lasting impression.

Considering the price, we found the overall experience to be on the expensive side. The wine pairing, featuring both Italian and Thai wines, didn't effectively enhance the flavors of the dishes.

If you decide to dine at Celadon, we recommend considering the à la carte options instead. This way, you can have better control over the timing of your meal and potentially enjoy a more satisfying dining experience.

While the Thai dance shows provide a cultural touch, they couldn't compensate for the timing issues and lack of excitement in the tasting menu experience.

Celadon at The Sukhothai offers an upscale dining experience, but we advise caution when opting for the tasting menu due to the timing challenges we encountered. If you're seeking an outstanding culinary destination, there may be other options worth...

Celadon serves authentic Thai cuisine, a celebration of the senses - in Thai style. Ordered the tasting menu at THB2,200++ Per person. Starters was Chiangmai green chilli foam, crispy pork skin and touch ginger (nice crispy and spicy), followed by Raw wagyu beef salad, aloe vera, fresh herbs from the garden (excellent beef with mixture of herbs to bring out flavours and melt in mouth texture). The soup was traditional lotus stems in Coconut soup, Japanese cockles and onion paste sea shell (this may be where the authentic Thai taste comes in - to me the soup just wasn't able to bring out the flavours - only the salty taste). Main course is Steamed snow fish, northern style crab paste fresh herbs in banana leaves (they placed the banana covered fish into a Clay pot to steam it before serving) and pork spareribs in southern yellow curry jackfruit seed and raw dinner banana (it's on the spicy side) so does well with the rice ( the organic black rice was the best, full of individual flavorful taste). Desserts was baked Coconut husk and pandan pudding young Coconut meat (pandan flavours did not materialize, just sweetness) All in all a pleasant meal, and most enjoyed the beef salad and...
