Another Hound
One of the top shopping destinations for the trendiest in Thai fashion today is definitely Greyhound or any of its affliates like Playhound. But clothes aren't all they're great at either. In fact, I find their food to be just as good. Greyhound cafes are all over the town area but through some dumb coincidence, the one we went to at Siam Center had some fashion function. So the waiter there gave us a 10% discount card and pointed us in the direction of Siam Paragon and their newish outlet Another Hound. This place was up last time I checked. But when we passed by, we weren't particularly hungry. So we popped in for a late lunch this time round and were delighted to say the least.
You might be forgiven for thinking this place was seriously posh and therefore outrageously expensive. After all, the interior decor was pretty foreboding in its beauty. Still, it's far from being really expensive and when you add up the ambience, service and attention to detail, you just feel like you got pampered on a budget instead. The decor is decidedly black and dark. Each table comes with chairs of different dark hues like midnight blue, dark magenta and black. We got served some hot bread with butter before the meal proper, an extra something that added nothing to the bill. If I recall correctly, the mains cost about S$10 and the drinks were S$3. Total bill came under S$30 after the 10% discount, which is very good value for very good food in a very nice place.
The other tables ordered some intensely black squid ink pasta and several other beautiful creations that made me wish my stomach was bigger than it already is, which is very big.
You'll find Another Hound on the ground floor of Siam Paragon, right where this lobby area that's covered in a mix of jungle flora and marble.
This grill was next to my table. Lovely chandelier behind made of bits of plastic with a wine glass motif. Other chandeliers had a roast pig motif among other things.
The table behind me. Their waiters all had shaven heads and multiple piercings as well. Kinda like a posh punk look.
This is my lunch, Pate and Bacon spaghetti topped off with some crunchy raw mango and dried chillies. Pineapple shake to go with it.
My girlfriend's lunch, Pad Thai with Scallops. Lychee shake in background.
Dessert. Choco Banana cake. Two layers of moist, tasty and very chocolate chiffon with a layer of banana mousse and a big dollop of cream on top.
