Bottoms Up Thonglor | Wine Beer and Bistro Bar

There is always a need to let my anxiety out...
For some reason I feel like I wanted to disappear these days...
Maybe it's the toxic Bangkok society that makes me sick.
Old "Farang" guys with young Thai girls, stuck-up Thai Hi-Sos, bitches and people with no manners, etc etc. I could go on and on. 
I started to realize the day I turned 25, that this is not the life I dream for myself.
Yet, I tangled myself up even more when I accepted my promotion at work.
No arguing though. I need money to get through and this is the only way it can work...
I probably talked too much :)

Highlight of my week was a visit at Bottoms Up Thonglor.
Mom's friend is an owner and she's been wanting me to visit ever since last year. Stupid me keep postponing.

Turns out everything is just PERFECT! This is the restaurant that I will recommend people over and over again. The restaurant is located in front of Soi Tararom 2, Thonglor (Sukhumvit 55). A bit far from Sukhumvit Road, but a 10-15 minutes walk wouldn't hurt, right?

A cool restaurant, very much give off European feel. 

Full Bar and the BIGGEST one in Bangkok, they say :)

Now, have a look at their menu in a form of a newsletter. I find this very similar to Roast.

 Great interior...Blame it on my Samsung Galaxy S3 for failing to capture such a beautiful design.
I want Sony Xperia now!!

Building my appetite with a glass of Old-Fashioned. I was a bit disappointed their mixologist doesn't know how to make me a Negroni, my all time favorite drink, but it's okay :)

Fresh wine and wine dispenser can be found here, one and only restaurant in Bangkok! Cool!

Onion Ring while waiting for the owner to arrive. I love the dip, this is not just an ordinary ketchup.. There's a mix between ketchup and spicy sauce with a hint of garlic. A good combination. 

Appetizer: Seafood Salad. Look at how large they are. Seafood Yum!! Not too spicy too. This suit well with foreigner's taste. 

  
Appetizer: Baked Garlic Mussle. Another good one, but we ate too slow and it looked stale when the cheese turned cold. Yummy anyhow :)
 
 
 Main: Grilled Salmon with baked Spinach. Highlight of the meal! I wish it comes with good mashed potato on the side. 

Main: Pasta Alfredo with Ebiko. It's a little too creamy for me but I have no objection when it comes to Ebiko (Japanese for shrimp egg).

Main: Stewed Lamb Shank. My order and also most popular dish of the restaurant. It turned out better than I thought. Lamb was well cooked and did not have any weird smell at all. Mashed potato is great and even better when I paired it with grilled salmon :)  Perfect mashed potato goes to Eat Me (Sorry about that).  

Now another glass of Sparkling Wine (Prosecco). Just as good. I was getting a little tipsy after a few empty glasses. 

Dessert: Fried Banana with Vanilla Ice Cream. Now I DID NOT ordered this. Our little owner did. This is so fatty but also so good. Ultimate sin for someone who's on diet like me.  I actually ordered a tiramisu, portion was too large I was not able to finish all of it, not even half!

Enough reading about this and head straight to Bottoms Up Thonglor
