EXECUTIVE Chef de Cuisine Herve Frerard, one of Bangkok’s most experienced chefs, has returned to Aldo’s Bistro at the Ascott Bangkok on Sathorn Road to oversee the relaunch of the Cascade Club’s prime social and entertainment venue.
Chef Herve was the opening chef of Aldo’s in 2005 and since then has been the proprietor of his own restaurant, Le Beaulieu, served as an advisor to the Royal Project Foundation, and opened Café Parisien, Milano Café and Eiffel Bakery at the Glasshouse Sindhorn.
Herve welcomed the chance to be associated with the Cascade Club again and the opportunity to creatively programme the dining, wine bar, and poolside areas of Aldo’s into a revitalised social, dining, and entertainment icon.
Since August, Aldo’s Bistro has been steadily undergoing a host of physical changes and upgrades that includes kitchen equipment, painting, lighting, furniture, fabrics, poolside sala renovations, new bar amenities, and outright discarding of old items.
Khun Jaruwan Kaset, one of Thailand’s most knowledgeable sommeliers, is another former employee who has returned to Aldo’s. She has been working with the staff to completely change the wine list, wine by the glass offering, and the bar’s ability to provide high quality drinks and classic cocktails. Khun Jum is also overseeing the evening front of house service.
Chef Herve is now busy introducing a new Aldo’s breakfast, business lunch, and an evening menu that has expanded into poolside BBQ and smoked meats, and organising personalised small and medium sized parties and events that only the Aldo’s environment can provide.

Cascade Club upgrade
Meanwhile, during the first quarter 2017, the Cascade Club is completely upgrading the strength area of its world class gym facility. This will include new custom designed ‘Rep Tile’ laminated fitness flooring.
Equipment being changed and introduced in new frame and upholstery colors are additional free weight area equipment from Hammer Strength and Life Fitness Signature Series, and includes new body weight equipment, racks, and Olympic benches.
The Functional training area will introduce new cable machines, a jungle arrangement, and a new Escape Octagon HTS 90 corner unit that will be a favourite for the personal trainers.
In the centre of the gym, a new Octagon HTS BOA Rail will provide more opportunity for boxing, kick training, suspension training, and other small group training programmes.
Over the years the Cascade Club has upgraded its cardio vascular equipment approximately every three years. This is because the manufacturers in the fitness industry introduce new lines or major changes every three years or so. This is a tremendous benefit to Cascade Club members because the club is always at the front of the envelope in introducing new technology and designs. Many clubs never upgrade their equipment and the average time between upgrades is 7-8 years.
