Having previously enjoyed delicious Italian food and wine at Crostini & Wine Bibber Sangria Music in the Mercury Ville Chidlom building, I discovered that the establishment also offers live music performances by accomplished musicians.
Don't worry, I've already checked the website and found some interesting bands playing at Crostini Rooftop Italian Restaurant & Bar. According to their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/crostini.bkk/), the famous musician Jirapan Ansvananda & the Blue Sapphire will be performing on the 10th (which is today!).
Jirapan Ansvananda: A Legacy in Thai Music
Jirapan Ansvananda is a renowned figure in the Thai music industry, having dedicated nearly 30 years to shaping its landscape. Her journey began with co-founding Butterfly Sound & Film Service Co., Ltd., a powerhouse of talent that has become a legend in the Thai music scene. Alongside founding members Surasee Ithikul, Danoo Hantrakul, and Kriss Choktipywatana, Ansvananda has produced a wealth of high-quality music.
This is just the blurb, the music that was played, plus the delicious food that tickled my taste buds. It wasn't difficult to get me out of the house, take a car to BTS Chidlom, and climb up to the 4th floor of the Mercury Building. The view was amazing.
Pleasant atmosphere and beautiful views.
Stepping out onto the balcony, you'll be greeted by stunning views of Bangkok.
We've arrived, so let's not waste any time. The wind and our friends are waiting. Our army must march on its stomach. Order now, what are you waiting for?
We ordered a generous amount of food to accommodate our friends who were eagerly waiting to listen to the music. At Cross Tini, it's essential to start with the restaurant's signature dishes.
Assorted Crostini
Mixed Crostini is a signature dish that has become synonymous with the restaurant's name. This appetizer, a staple of Italian cuisine, features a variety of toppings, particularly seafood, arranged on crispy French bread. Each crostini offers a unique flavor profile, tantalizing the taste buds with a symphony of textures and tastes. The combination of crispness, sweetness, richness, saltiness, and acidity creates a truly satisfying culinary experience. For vegetarian diners, meat-free crostini options are readily available.
Other dishes will be served as ordered.
This crispy, crunchy fried chicken wing is a delightful treat, served with a tangy, sweet, and mildly spicy chili sauce.
This dish is a spinach and cheese bake that is made with fresh spinach and cheese. The dish is not soggy and has a pleasant aroma and a salty, savory flavor.
Rocket Salad
This dish is also a favorite. The crispy pizza crust with the tangy salsa sauce, topped with salty Parma ham and gooey cheese, is a perfect pairing with a smooth glass of wine. It's a meal that could easily be enjoyed for days.
Spaghetti with Bacon and Dried Chili
This dish features spaghetti tossed with flavorful bacon and aromatic dried chili. The combination delivers a delightful balance of savory richness from the bacon and a subtle kick of spice from the chili, preventing the dish from becoming overly heavy.
Spaghetti al nero di seppia, or black spaghetti, is made with squid ink and tomatoes, giving it a distinct seafood flavor and aroma. The acidity of fresh tomatoes balances the richness of the squid ink.
Two identical dishes are covered in the same way.
PASTA AI CARTOCCIO DI MARE
This dish, though its name may be a bit difficult to pronounce (being Italian), is easily recognizable by children as pasta covered in dough and baked. It is essentially spaghetti stir-fried in a seafood-style "drunken" sauce, but with a milder seafood flavor and not too spicy. It's a very easy dish to eat.
This dish, wrapped similarly to pasta, is not pasta. It is Lamb slow cook, which is lamb shank that has been baked and left in the oven overnight before being seasoned and served with fettuccine. The flavor is well-rounded.
In addition to the Parma ham pizza, we also ordered the CROSTINI PIZZA, which our server recommended as one of the restaurant's signature dishes. The smoked salmon topping was perfectly balanced, offering a delightful combination of crispy, sweet, and savory flavors. The tangy salsa sauce provided a refreshing contrast, making it a perfect pairing with a glass of chilled white wine.
This dish is a pork chop, cooked to perfection with a flavorful seasoning. The accompanying mashed potatoes complement the dish perfectly, and the pairing with red wine enhances the overall dining experience.
The time has come for the music of Jirapan Ansvananda & the Blue Sapphire to entertain us with beautiful songs and the skillful performance of master musicians. Excuse me for a moment.
Oh, wait a minute! I saw a poster at the shop saying that there's a mini-concert this Saturday, October 20th, featuring the legendary musician we all know and love, Aong Surasee Itthikul, along with his partner, Moo! Of course, I've already booked a table. See you there this Saturday!
