The best of land and sea at Espresso
Espress at InterContinental Bangkok becomes a playground for beef buffs and seafood connoisseurs on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings, during which the Premium Seafood Dinner Buffet with a special addition of Australian wagyu beef are served. The latter is a time-limited add-on, available until the end of August, to the already sumptuous and expansive dinner buffet that Espresso is known for. Located on the mezzanine level of InterContinental Bangkok, the weekend dinner buffet at Espresso is an indulgent one indeed, as you'll be spoilt for choice with many delicacies from various cuisines to savour. With the two highlights being seafood and Australian beef, you can technically enjoy all the surf and turf you want. There's a corner behind a stylish partition, perfect for those who want semi-privacy. Alternatively, you can find a table near the glass railing to overlook the beautiful lobby below, while being serenaded by a live jazz band from 6.30-9.30 pm on Friday and Saturday. Various counters and stations can easily increase your appetite, but none may be more so than the seafood on ice display, which showcases fresh fruits of the sea and DIY caviar sets. The catches come from far and wide, from Irish and Fine de Claire oysters, Chilean king crab legs, New Zealand green mussels, Canadian lobsters, Swimmer blue crab claws and more. Dig around and you may find a lobster claw that's bigger than your phone. Assemble a caviar tasting set by yourself with a selection of salty and savoury pearls, including Avruga, ikura and lumpfish roes. Of course, the Thai-style seafood dipping sauce is on standby to add zest to any seafood. More savoury seafood awaits at the BBQ station, which serves Marinated tuna steak, perfectly grilled Grouper with dill crème sauce and succulent Rock lobster with seafood sauce. On the freshwater front, don't miss out on Goong Ta khrai. The aromatic Thai-style roasted river prawn is enhanced with garlic, lemongrass and turmeric. From the Chinese BBQ station, Chinese favourites like Peking duck, Crispy pork belly and BBQ pork are available next to delicious dim sum. The good news is that Peking duck comes neatly wrapped for you. More Asian delights await at the Indian corner, where pre-cooked dishes can be enjoyed with naan bread or jeera bhaat. Of course, Japanophiles should check out the tempura, sushi and sashimi selection, which includes Aussie beef nigiri topped with tobiko, at the Japanese food station. More importantly, pair your seafood with time-limited premium Australian beef for a truly indulgent dinner, and you have many choices to choose from. Combine the best of land and sea, if you will. Espresso's grill station serves a rotation of MBS (Marble Beef Score) 8-9 wagyu topside beef from Margaret River and the famed Sir Harry's MBS 6-7 citrus-fed rump cut. The latter deserves a special mention for its combo of succulence and mouth-watering aroma. Meanwhile the carvery features a rotation of the 200-day dry-aged MBS 4-5 Ebony Prime Grain Fed Ribeye and tomahawk steaks. The Aussie beef is also presented in the form of pre-cooked dishes — red wine-braised brisket, beef massaman curry, crying tiger grilled beef, to name but a few — that you can help yourself to while waiting for your cook-to-order succulent beef steaks or lamb chops to be served at your table. Save some room for desserts for a sweet (and decadent) end to your meal. The selection of Thai desserts alone is quite expansive. You can go for crowd-pleaser Thai mango with sticky rice or something less known like Pumpkin custard or Thai gocchi in coconut milk. Or enjoy made-to-order Crepe suzette or bathe fresh seasonal fruits with a chocolate fountain. The Premium Seafood Dinner Buffet at Espresso is available every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 6pm-10.30pm with the addition of Australian wagyu beef available until the end of August. It's priced at B2,250++ per person and B1,200++ per child. Email InterContinental Bangkok at call 02-656-0444 or visit to book a table. Don't forget to bring a big appetite.

10 amazing after-dark adventures you can only have in New Zealand
When night falls, Aotearoa awakens. New Zealand doesn't go to sleep when the sun sets - that's when the magic begins. Subscribe now for unlimited access. or signup to continue reading All articles from our website The digital version of Today's Paper All other in your area By Ute Junker Updated August 1 2025 - 9:46am, first published 6:00am Stargazing at Tekapo. Picture: Rachel Gillespie 1. Soak in the stars in Tekapo Batman and Robin. Strawberries and cream. Yin and yang. Some things just work better together, which is why we love the Soak in the Stars tour at Tekapo in the centre of the South Island. It combines two great experiences in one: a soak in soothing, naturally heated thermal pools, and a spot of stargazing in one of New Zealand's International Dark Sky Reserves. Powerful telescopes give up-close views of distant planets and galaxies while you relax in mineral-rich waters. Now that's the sort of multi-tasking we enjoy. 2. Tuck into a mouthwatering Maori feast in Rotorua Rotorua after dark. Picture: Tourism New Zealand Ready for a very different take on dinner and a show? From the moment strapping lads paddle a war canoe down the Wai-o-Whiro stream, you know Rotorua's Mitai Maori Cultural Experience & Dinner Buffet is going to be a treat. The evening contains plenty of highlights, including a mouthwatering hangi meal featuring plenty of meat, chicken and kumara cooked on hot stones in an earth oven. Other memorable moments include a rousing haka performance, a visit to an ancient village site, and a nocturnal forest walk. 3. Take a wild ride in Queenstown Queenstown Luge. When it comes to adrenaline hits, Queenstown offers plenty of choice, from skydiving to jetboating and whitewater rafting. Once the sun sets, however, the adventure tends to die down. If you want to keep the action going, head for Queenstown Luge. A luge kart, for those who haven't tried it before, is like a gravity-powered cross between a toboggan and a go-kart, and driving it along the twisting downhill course is an exhilaration-guaranteed experience for all ages. An evening session ensures a big finish to the day. 4. Paddle into the night in Nelson A paddle in Nelson after sunset. Sitting at the top of the South Island, Nelson is known for the sheltered, crystal-clear waters of its bays, which makes it the perfect place to sign up for a night-time stand-up paddleboarding experience. Nelson Night Paddle gives you the chance to head out on an illuminated paddleboat for a serene two-hour experience. Let yourself be lulled by the splash of your paddle as the lights on your paddleboard illuminate the waters around you, letting you gaze down on seaweed forests, slowly drifting jellyfish and other marine life. You'll feel like you're floating through an underwater fairytale. 5. Be dazzled by glowworms in the Waitomo Caves Waitomo Glowworm Caves tour. Yes, we hear the objection from the back row. How can a daytime activity be classified as "after dark"? Simple: it's always dark underground, which is why we have added the Waitomo Caves near Queenstown to our list. This 300-million-year-old cave system is filled with wonders, best experienced on a Waitomo Glowworm Caves tour. Your jaw will drop as you explore the magnificent limestone formations of the upper caves as well as the enchanting boat ride through a grotto illuminated by thousands of glowworms. 6. Go on a kiwi hunt on wild Stewart Island No, there are no guns involved on Wild Kiwi Experiences on Stewart Island. The only thing you will be armed with is a torch, all the better to spot the elusive southern brown kiwi (tokoeka) as it goes about its business. Kiwis outnumber humans on this wonderfully wild island (more than 85 per cent of which is national park), perched off the southern tip of the South Island. That makes Stewart Island a great spot to encounter these nocturnal birds. Keep an eye out for other wildlife, too, including albatrosses, yellow-eyed penguins and New Zealand fur seals. 7. Work up some steam at Te Puia Te Puia's bubbling hot pools and surging geysers have made this North Island geothermal valley one of New Zealand's most memorable attractions. Plenty of people head here during the day, but fewer explore the area by night - and they are missing out. On Te Puia's two-hour Geyser by Night tour, be awed by the lit-up Pohutu and Waikite geysers before stretching out on the naturally heated stone slabs to immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of the landscape at night. 8. Join the locals for night skiing at Coronet Peak A floodlit ski session at Coronet Peak. Just 20 minutes from the heart of Queenstown, Coronet Peak's accessibility, as well as those wide runs and plenty of vertical action, make it a favourite ski stop for locals. It is not just the proximity they love: it is the fact that they can hit the slopes after the sun goes down, thanks to the much-loved Night Ski program Many locals head here for an after-work floodlit ski session; join them on the slopes and then stay on to enjoy crackling fires, live DJs sets and plenty of delicious food. 9. Explore the moon by telescope at Kaikoura 10 amazing after-dark adventures you can only have in New Zealand It is always there, waxing and waning above our heads, but how much do you really know about the moon? If the answer is "not much", head to the coastal South Island town of Kaikoura, where dark skies make this a perfect spot for a moon-focused astro-tour. Peer through telescopes on Moana Skies' Lunar Tour to examine the moon's surface in detail, marvelling at its plains, craters and mountain ranges, as well as learning about the history and future of lunar exploration. 10. Be inspired by Rotorua's ancient redwood forest 10 amazing after-dark adventures you can only have in New Zealand 10. Be inspired by Rotorua's ancient redwood forest Who says you have to choose? Of course, you are going to want to visit Rotorua's soaring redwoods forest during the day. That's when you can tackle one of the lush hiking or biking trails, or get a different perspective on the skywalk, a series of suspension bridges 12 metres above the forest floor. But really, you are going to want to come back at night for a second turn on the skywalk when it is lit up by beautiful lanterns. Known as Redwoods Nightlights, the experience turns the towering trees and the verdant understorey into a fantastic landscape of mind-bending beauty.
