Ping's Shark's Fin Restaurant (Bangkok, THAILAND) ★★★☆☆

Generally speaking, when it comes to shark's fin restaurants in Bangkok, there's only one place I go to, Bangkok's Shark's fin. But my friend EH is a frequent flyer to the Land of a Thousand Smiles and while he's traveling with us on this trip, of coz it's wise to tap into his wisdom.

He's bringing us to this place called Ping's Shark's Fin Restaurant, touted as the best Chinese and Thai restaurant in Bangkok according to its own website.



Obviously they are very serious about their famous shark's fin soup. Even have a scale next to the stove to weigh each portion carefully and accurately. That's of course important since I didn't want EH to have a bigger portion than mine!



We decided to break the bank by going for the most expensive braised shark's fin soup with crab meat. Call me biased but I still like the one at Bangkok's Shark's Fin a little more.



The garlic prawns with vermicelli was okay but again not as flavorful as the one at my home court.



Deep fried oyster omelette, again so-so.




Fried rice with crab meat was nicely done although we would all love a little more crab meat in it.
