Vertigo or Sirocco?
There are two open air rooftop bars in Bangkok, namely Vertigo Grill and Moon Bar at The Banyan Tree and Sirocco Dome at State Tower. A question many would ask, so which one is better? Well, that was the same question I asked myself repeatedly before the trip, so after a bit of research here and there Sirocco was decided for Christmas Eve last year.
Indeed, Sirocco was quite spectacular. It’s located on top of the tallest building in Bangkok(at 64th storey high) not only will you get to enjoy its breathtaking river view, their service at The Dome was excellent too, armed with attentive and friendly staff. But the only flaw to me was to have missed out the sunset that day. (yours truly took too long to get ready and sunset, just like time, never awaits :S)
So on the last day, since there was a bit of time to kill I also went to check out Vertigo Moon Bar! And this time, I was determined not to miss out sunset so I got changed in 30 seconds and reached there right on time!!
Vertigo Moon Bar. It was already packed with tourists and early birds at 5pm.
Check out the stunning silky sky!
Jaw was dropped while watching the orange sheet hovering the sky with the fireball hanging in the middle…
I was overwhelmed.
Then it changed to pink when dusk slowly set in...

Vertigo Grill Restaurant
Drinks is about 5 – 10% more expensive than at Sirocco
The place is more “open”, hence you get to feel what it’s like to be “on top of the world” … so much so I even got a bit of jelly jittery knees! :P However, the service there has nothing to shout about, we didn’t get served and I had to go around looking for bar tenders to take drinks order. As Grum would put it, even though this place is more expensive and supposed to be more “high class” for it being linked to a 5 star hotel, it seemed like a chaotic market from heaven.
But if you ask me to choose one, it would be difficult. Both places offer different kind of experience and also different views. If you want a more intimate and exclusive ambience and not having to fight seats with others, go for Sirocco. But Vertigo is also very unique in its own sense – it sets you into a different world. The combination of the view, the music, the wind and the futuristic decor makes me wonder if this is how heaven would look like… HAHA!
Didn’t go there for their food since they only serve western and fusion cuisine. I want thai foooooood!
Both places are highly recommended if you are planning to drop by the city for leisure or business. Go even if you don’t drink, you can always order a mocktail or the sort. Trust me on this one, it’s really worth it.

Dr. Café Coffee at Solaris
Dr. Café Coffee is a new caffeine joint in Solaris (behind Coffee Bean and opposite Olé Olé Bali) its concept is very similar to Starbucks and if you ask me, I can’t tell whose coffee tastes better but this one offers more variety of blends… it’s a nice quiet and cozy place to catch up with friends. So for coffee lovers out there… go give it a try!
Haven’t seen her for three weeks… boy her bump has grown!!!

Arvo at Alexis
Took the sister out for lunch on Saturday. We wanted somewhere cozy to chill, good but not too heavy food. I was craving for Vietnamese Beef Noodles Soup so there, Alexis at Bangsar Shopping Centre was picked.
Alexis seriously serves the bestest beef noodle in Malaysia!
In my own account, to the very least hehe
But you are more than welcome to tell me otherwise
where else can beat this super yummilicious phó
that comes with succulent beef slices & soup so rich in taste
I have tried Sao Nam, Vietnamese Kitchen, Exotic, Secret Recipe
but nothing come close to this!
Washed it down with my favourite Pinot Grigio
It goes better with white meat but since we were having clear noodle soup
still brings out the flavour perfectly!
Tadaaa… here comes the birthday girl!
Alexis signature dessert – Tiramisu
It’s very different from the normal tiramisu you get but heavenly all the same!
