If you'd like to hit up one of the big five-star hotels on Feb 14, good luck spending less than 10 grand with wine. Tables (Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel, 494 Rachadamri Rd., 02-254-1234), though, has a five-course set dinner that just about makes the cut (at least before tax and service) at B9,800 per couple with wine pairings (B6,800 without wine). Dishes include Boston lobster salad and broccoli soup with seared scallop. Next-door, things are even more affordable. Italian eatery Spasso offers a five-course set dinner (B3,800 per couple) with dishes like antipasto di mare (tuna tartar, orange fennel marinated sardines and rock lobster salad) or chocolate ladyfingers, praline custard, parmesan and browned-butter sorbet with raspberry dust.
