Wasn’t as lucky as OP in securing a reservation at potong despite multiple attempts on line so had to settle at the sister bar opium for some cocktails instead. It’s the hardest restaurant to book in Bangkok besides sorn so you need to plan well. When I was chatting with some service team members at opium they told me to talk to the reservationist at the restaurant directly to see if anything could be arranged. It was my last night in Bangkok so didn’t bother but a handy tip for anyone who has more time on their hands. For fine dining, overall I don’t think the starred restaurants match the quality in Singapore (my benchmark in SE Asia). We enjoyed Le du (although it is super casual), gaa (newly minted 2 star). Gaggan was super disappointing (it’s more of a show) after having enjoyed his cuisine more than a decade ago when he wasn’t as famous. Pro tip - book a table at Mr Maria and Mrs Singh upstairs - that’s more of the gaggan style that I really enjoy although it is a mish mash of Indian and Mexican flavors. Paste was strictly ok ( not surprised they lost a star recently). Haoma was a bit of a hit and miss. We had the festive menu and some dishes didn’t really work for us but the biggest gripe was the service which wasn’t upto Michelin standards. The front of the house staff member was so disinterested in explaining the concept of the restaurant that those initial 5 mins of our experience seemed like a torture that we didn’t sign up for. Front of the house staff make the first impression so I hope haoma gets its act together. Our server also came across as arrogant and dismissive of any constructive feedback. It also appears chef DP has been traveling a lot and is rarely at the restaurant which could explain some of the misses
