Upon penning my last entry, I guess I should really make an effort to 'record' down our many lovely memories to places we had visited over these years and months. This is what people called a THROWBACK ... 

It was during our last November 2018 BKK Trip that Mr Ussenal solely planned all by himself and brought me to this lovely place, tucked away in a quiet corner of Thailand(about 45 mins drive to the location w/o jam). However, due to the jam, we took almost 3 hours to reach this beautiful place. 
The place opens at 5pm daily so do make an effort to 'escape from the peak hours' and to embark on your journey earlier. We took GRAB and it only costs is 164 baht for the 3 hours ride but none of the entire ride, did we ever see a frown on our driver's face. I presume either we met a superb patient driver or they are so used to the traffic issues in BKK to even bother to frown. 

Rome Restaurant has a few outlets in different cities too but the one closest to u would be the one in Bangkok. We have been to BKK far too many times since 2014 and somehow, someday, Mr USsenal just decided to make a 'breakthrough' - Look for new SPOTS to go to. Well, this is his first surprise SPOT for me and I would say that I am really impressed. 

Many people would be wowed by the architectural design and one place to visit - MUST VISIT would be the toilet. The Gents and Ladies are designed in such 'Romely' way that you could never ever miss it during your visit.  

Rome Restaurant definitely consists of the 3 As - Amazing food, Architectural designs as well as Ambience. Dining at the poolside simply makes you wonder if you are really in Rome and also, you get the companion of nice live band music from the stage located just round amidst the whole place. 

Food-wise, I would say it is more of a fusion between Thai and Western and surprisingly, they have a mini Japanese Sushi counter too. We reached the place around 10pm and there 2 groups of people chilling by the poolside seats. It is definitely a very nice place for chilling out especially with a pint of beer while listening to the live band performance on-stage.

As it was just the two of us, we too had a good peaceful and serene time by the poolside table. The crowd is not what we are expecting but well, it did us good by giving us all the required attention from the waiter and waitress, hence earning their good and attentive service. The food menu however was kinda 'flawed'as a few of their signature items are not available and I would think it is due to it was actually a weekday .. quiet weekday. Nevertheless, we did managed to choose some good choices from the menu.

We also ordered some extra Japanese dishes as you know, my mister is actually a BIG Jap.food fan however, the Jap.choice here is kinda disappointing as the tamago egg - roll was served really cool and the salmon is not superb fresh( priced at 120baht to 250 baht).

I did mentioned earlier about the FANTASTIC Toilet's design and indeed, it was a HOT spot for many of the patrons to take pictures in the toilet.YES!!! The toilet!!! hehe

The visit to the washrooms basically concluded our fabulous visit to Rome Restaurant and by the time we left the place, it was almost 12.30am. There is a usher or maybe I would say a 'guard' seated outside the restaurant porch area and he would kindly help you get a cab, should you ask him politely. We did tried to GRAB a car but it was indeed hard. Hence, he gladly offered us assistance at no fees upon seeing us trying for quite some time.

The journey back to MBK area was around 45mins(not 3 hours) as the traffic was smooth at this wee hours. 

As many said, Rome is not built in a day and I finally understand why. The intricate and meticulous designs of the building architecture structures and to the many nice paintings and sculptures all around the place simply added fine touches to the Rome 'vibes and feel' even while in Bangkok.
