Table talk in Bangkok (February 19-February 25)

Super Cookie Friends runs on a weekly drop model that keeps things deliberately limited and enticing. Just 100 New York-style cookies are released each week, with orders taken via Instagram DM and closing on Thursday before a Friday morning bake and dispatch. The result is a small but growing cult following, with supply regularly selling out early.

The mouth-watering cookies lean thick with a soft centre and generous mix-ins, from  Atomic Choc Chunk packed with Thai and Belgian chocolate to Double Choc Marsh, finished with fresh marshmallow torched directly onto the cookie. Apoo Cungle shifts into apple crumble territory with stewed fruit and oaty topping, while seasonal flavours rotate in and out of the lineup. Order a couple more than you think you should. You’ll thank us later.

Cookies from B130. Order via IG @supercookiefriends. Weekly drop, baked Fridays.

Nan Bei at Rosewood Bangkok introduces a new menu under chef Matthew Geng that stays grounded in Chinese technique while drawing on Thai ingredients. Rather than separating dishes by region, the kitchen moves across styles, from Sichuan heat to Cantonese precision, keeping flavours clear and balanced.

Peking duck remains a masterful centrepiece, prepared using traditional methods and carved tableside, alongside dishes like pomfret, seabass, braised tofu and Wagyu beef. Thai produce runs through the menu, from tea-infused jasmine rice to regional vegetables used with restraint.

Nan Bei, Rosewood Bangkok. 11.30am-2.30pm, 6pm-10pm

Aman Lounge opens its bar to Italian mixologist Simone Rossi for its first guest bartender night, bringing a one-evening collaboration built around his approach to balance and flavour. Rossi’s menu centres on Ratafia Rossi – his signature liqueur – interpreted specifically for the space through a small, focused list of cocktails.

The menu runs tight, with a handful of drinks that move between spirit-forward and lighter styles, built with citrus, herbal and bitter elements. Each offering keeps a clear structure, with Ratafia Rossi shaping the profile across the list. Live music runs through the evening, giving the room a musical lift as the bar shifts into guest mode for the night.

Aman Lounge, Aman Nai Lert Bangkok, Wireless Road. February 18, 5.30pm-12am

Ventisi at Centara Grand at CentralWorld sets up a sprawling seafood-focused buffet every Saturday night, built around an impressive spread and live-cooking stations. The lineup includes an array of fresh sashimi, shellfish and grilled favourites, with river prawns, squid, rock lobster and salmon forming the core of the selection.

Stations run throughout the evening, with seafood cooked to order alongside a wider buffet of hot and cold dishes. The experience includes a free-flow beverage package, keeping drinks aligned with the pace of the buffet.

Deckles Smokehouse at voco Bangkok Surawong leans into slow-smoking and bold seasoning, with a menu built around comfort food and grill-led dishes. The focus is on smoked meats and hearty plates, with flavours shaped by time, heat and heaps of spice.

The space keeps things relaxed, with indoor seating and outdoor balconies overlooking the swimming pool and the city. The menu moves seamlessly through the day, from breakfast untl late evening, with smoked dishes remaining the anchor.
