Raan Jay Fai (Bangkok, Thailand)

Went all the way across town to visit a hole-in-the-wall restaurant (more like a hawker place, actually) to try their famous drunken noodles.  The place is relatively expensive for hawker standards, but the food was definitely worth making the trip!

Rossano's (Bangkok, Thailand)

Visited this semi-casual Italian restaurant after a long day exploring the city -- what a way to end on a high note!  Thanks to B&G for the recommendation!

Sirocco (Bangkok, Thailand)

We went to Sirocco for a sit-down dinner.  I was told by locals that this is a place where you're paying mostly for the view rather than the food.  The view was indeed spectacular (excellent place to see Bangkok from up high), and the food was actually quite decent, although some of the markups were pretty crazy (especially with drinks).
