Triplets Brasserie @ Luxx Hotel, Lung Suan, Bangkok


Cuisine: Global Cuisine (European mostly)
Visited: 16 February 2013
Price: THB700 per person without alcohol (what I paid for)
Food: 6/10
Atmosphere: 7/10
Value for money: 7/10
Services: 5/10

After a long break for more or less a year, we, Deadly Bunny and Chubby Penguin, are back to share our experiences (wish this time we can keep reviewing for long, fingers cross).  This time, we are back the review of Triplets Brasserie.  A lot of you may recognise that we had reviewed once 2 years ago exactly (http://deadlybunnychubbypenguin.blogspot.com/2011/02/triplets-bistro-thonglor-bangkok-french.html).  However, the brasserie have moved into the new place on Lung Suan which is now more chic, relax, and easier accessed.

Triplets Brasserie is now located in Luxx Hotel which is simply opposite Soi Lung Suan 6.  It may be difficult to spot so pay attention for the sign of the hotel.  I say I love this place more than the old venue at Thonglor.  The atmosphere is more relax and at the same time can be romantic.  The garden seats are particularly perfect for dinner with your love one (love the Alfresco), during the day it may be too hot.  Inside, it is friendly and cool as much as any brasserie can be; don't be confused though, I personally think this place is not the kind for fine dining but it can suit regular special occasions.  Decoration is kept minimal.

As usual, we began our meal with soups.  Yes, it was soup again as we do enjoy eating warm soup ^^.  We had Corn Soup (5/10) and Vichyssoise, which is simply potato and leek soup (6/10).  Both were cream base soup, delightful and enjoyable.  However, leek soup was somewhat lighter, less thick, and more fun from potato bits.  The prawn in the leek soup was also well cooked: a tick for this (^_^).  Whilst the leek soup contained prawn as the highlight, the corn soup also filled with crab meat.

Oh oh, forgot to mention that the basket of bread here was garlic, just normal garlic bread really.  Ok, it was nice but standard really, prefer a typical bread like baguette with good butter personally (2/10).

Garlic Breads

For the mains, we had Pasta Alfredo (7/10) and Pork Tenderloin with Mushroom and Rosemary Gravy (5/10).  We felt that pasta dishes here look and sound ordinary but they are well made really.  The al dente penne alfredo was lightly creamy with mushroom as the main ingredients.  Strong taste of garlic.  If you like garlic, then this is the one for you.  For pork tenderloin, I felt it was a little too salty for the gravy.  Strong mushroom aroma.  The pork meat was naturally tender as much as the local grade could be.  Don't expect the super tender one.  The dish came along with mashed potatoes which were creamy, smooth, and well seasoned (give it a plus).

Overall, I would say I can visit this place like every week really.  Friendly brasserie with decent food and of course price.  If I have to meet up with friends in any restaurant in a crowded department store in town, I would suggest them to meet up at Triplets instead.  Nevertheless, wine list and alcohol range are rather limited from my sense.  Give Triplets a go, would you?

Triplets Bistro @ Thonglor, Bangkok

Cuisine: French
Price: THB900 per person without alcohol (what I paid for)
Visited: 12 February 2011
Food: 6/10
Atmosphere: 4/10
Value for money: 5/10
Services: 5/10
Overall: 5/10

Triplets Bistro, a revolutionary French cuisine, is located on 6th floor of Parnjit Tower in Soi Thonglor, Bangkok. Before I go any further, from 14 February 2011, Triplets will be shut down temporarily for about 3 months in order to allow them to move to a new location in Soi Luangsuan. Triplets has a concept of using the best of local ingredients for food preparation to combine with French cooking technique of Chef Nate. The bistro is decorated casually with a drizzling open kitchen in which customers can enjoy cooking skills of Triplets' chef. Although, the restaurant may look small, it can comfortably serve up to 40 guests. The atmosphere is comfortable and friendly with quality services from the owners, though my first impression was not so great due to clueless staff who knew nothing about my booking.


Our meal started with 2 choices of soup. The first one was Mushroom Cappuccino. This was indeed a gorgeous cup of mushroom soup. Creamy mushroom soup on top with silky foam of the soup. Texture was not light but not thick. A spoon of chopped tomato went splendidly well with this luscious soup. All I needed to do was just drink it up (7/10).

The other soup was French Onion Soup. This extraordinary well-known French soup was really tasty. Very cheesy top with soft onion and aromatic soup. Authentic indeed, I like it (7/10).

Next in line was Mushroom Steak. Though, the tenderloin was really tender and juicy and mushroom demi-glaze was delightful and mashed potato was creamy and delicious, I still think that the taste of this dish needs more complexity (5/10).

Duck a l'Orange looked really savoury from the first sight. However, I found the meat a little tough and I would prefer to have the orange sauce more tangy. Otherwise, this would be an enjoyable dish (5/10).

Dessert of the night was Crepe du Jour. This simply was banana crepe with caramelised sauce. A great dessert but the banana was not ripe enough (5/10).

Crepe du Jour

Triplets Bistro does deliver delightful dishes of wide variety with quality local ingredients.  Price is reasonable except the charge for water which was rather ridiculous from my view. It would be even better if there is more choices of wine, liquor and drink. I would definitely revisit Triplets when it is reopen at Soi Luangsuan in mid May and would recommend anyone who has passion in French food to try this out.
