Alas, dessert. Once again, an honest waitstaff came to the rescue of the indecisive diner faced with very standard dessert choices—sorbet, crème brulée, apple gallette, bread pudding, something chocolate.

...Dessert is a selection of homemade sorbets, our favorite the thrilling chili-flavored offering. Made with tiny pri kee noo chilies, the spark behind Thai cuisine's fire, the sorbet lives a life on the tongue.

Dinner for two with starters, dessert and a bottle of wine will cost $100. Betelnut is located at 46/27 Chaweng Boulevard, Soi Colibri. Call (66-77) 413 370 for reservations...
