A sudden return to The Reflexions @ Plaza Athenee Bangkok within 2 months was spectacular. Not to mention great food and friendly services as I have mentioned in the previous review, this time there were a few more items in the menu in which they all were Game Menu. We decided to go for that and were not disappointed at all. We actually noticed improvement in both taste and consistency of food created by Che Thibault.

As usual, we were firstly served with warm Assorted Breads and a complementary from Chef. Seared Salmon with Eggplant Caviar was delicious. Sweetness from fresh salmon was outstanding, however, the taste was too light to me (6/10).

Porcini and Wild Chestnut Ravioli, Oyster Guinea Fowl Fricassee with Jus and Truffle Emulsion was spectacular. Attractive presentation, feather like truffle emulsion with charming scent with tender guinea fowl and smooth filling ravioli, another great creation I must say (8/10).

Being a fan of soup created by Chef Thibault, we decided to have Forest Chestnut Veloute, Wild Boar tortellini, Baby Mushroom and Black Truffle Oil to try out. Without disappointment, the soup was creamy and pleasant. Smoothness and sweetness from chestnut were splendid (8/10).

This time Entremets was Yuzu Sherbet. Tangy aroma brought back freshness with balancing with sweetness and flavour of vanilla. Only let down was sweetness which gave razor cut feeling after taste (7/10).

Fillet of Venison with Mushroom Crust, Autumn Vegetables and Cabbage Chartreuse with Fruits was one of our main course. Venison gave sweet flavour from its flesh and very tender. It was well equipped with herbs. What spectacular was the sauce which had chocolate as one of main ingredients. Cabbage was sour which was strange in the first place but after a few bits, this went really well with venison (9/10).

Last one was Honey Peppered Glazed Wild Colver Duck Breast, Roasted Baby Turnip and Beetroot in Foie Gras Fat. Tender meat of duck with delightful gravy. Light turnip and beetroot with sweet figs (8/10).
