FOOD:

Different aspects of the menu will appeal to different people. Aficianados of the sort of Chinese food widely available on British high streets will appreciate pan-fried chicken breast with lemon sauce and whole barbecued peking duck which comes complete with pancakes and plum sauce. This is not your average high street takeaway, though, and the quality of the food is consistently outstanding. There is a wide selection of dim sum dishes which are painstakingly prepared, with the delicate flour covering on the dumplings almost translucent. Local favourites include river prawns in tamarind sauce and Phuket lobster with foie gras. The extensive dessert menu features some Chinese classics such as bird's nest with hot coconut milk and sesame dumpling in hot ginger syrup.

SETTINGS:

Lin Fa is extremely popular with senior public servants and serves as something of a de facto decision-making hub in Bangkok. They come not just for the privacy provided by the Chinese-style screens, but for the excellent food.
