ocated on the 54th floor of Centara Grand & Bangkok Convention Centre at CentralWorld is a fine dining restaurant and tapas bar, Uno Mas. Uno Mas (‘One More’ in Spanish) has become one of the most sought after fine dining destinations for all food enthusiasts in Bangkok. Diners are greeted with the famed eight-metre wine tower storing over 2,000 bottles of carefully selected wines. Stepping into the curved hallway revealed a comfortable yet elegant dining space with a breathtaking view of the city. The dining journey began with the Gambas (B690++)—large tiger prawns cooked in a sizzling olive oil with garlic, paprika and Cayenne offering wonderful savoury flavours. The Mariscos (B2,950++ to B3,200++), a Spanish paella served with creamy Bomba rice totally covered with succulent Maine lobster, Carabineros red prawns and tiger prawns. Allow 45 minutes of preparation time. And if that wasn’t enough, next came the impressive twofeet-long elevated tray of Spanish tapas (B1,990++) with a lineup of delicious choices including mushroom croquette, crystal bread, Cogollos Tudela Salmon, White Anchovies in vinegar, fried baby squid, black aioli and lemon sauce; Galician-style grilled octopus with chipotle, green mojo and black ink aioli sauce; Spanish meatballs made from Txogitxu beef and pluma pork cooked in tomato stew; deep fried Jalapeno with sea salt; Uno Mas’ very own ‘Bravas’ or potatoes, soft and crisp served with spicy tomato sauce and aioli mayonnaise; Tortilla Spanish potato; onion omelette. All this is served together with a tiger prawns Gambas. Every bite offered bursts of delightful flavours with rich and satisfying mouthfeels. To conclude this experience bangkok101.com

Exquisite Spanish fine dining experience in the City of Angels
by Morgan JT
in grand style, we have the crispy Cochinillo (B1,990++)—a dazzling sight of half-roasted suckling pig cooked Segovian style served with green Mojo sauce, gravy and the Thai Nam Jim Jaew perfect for 2-4 people to feast on. Diners could choose to chop the crispy suckling pig using a plate themselves or have the staff takes care of the exciting presentation which would end in the breaking of said plate. A tradition to ward off bad and evil things.
Each dish can be further enhanced with an array of suggested wines, creative mocktails and cocktails.
