Sunday brunch, 2 continents

Last week we tried the Crossover Brunch at Dusit Hotel. Our table was at Umu (Japanese restaurant) on the ground floor, but we could also do the buffet at Tosca (Italian) and Benjarong (Thai) upstairs. This required walking up and down the stairs carrying plates of food and glasses of prosecco (taking the elevator seemed absurd), avoiding the kids taking Sunday lunch with their folks, and lacquered matrons unaccustomed to looking where they’re going.
Walking turned out to be an excellent idea—we needed the exercise between bouts of stuffing ourselves. Our favorite station was the risotto counter outside Tosca, where they made the risotto using ingredients you pick out. Mmmm truffle risotto. There’s a wait.
Our finicky foodie friend noted that the buffet presentation was drab—it was like lunchtime at an office cafeteria, though the food is very good. We were so full we skipped dinner.
