A leisurely mid-trip brunch with BB at a Bangkok cafe on our Songkran holiday: THB$601 (around SGD$25). 🇹🇭😋
What we had:
- Pad thai with crushed peanuts
- Green chicken curry with rice
- Crispy noodle-wrapped prawns with a dip
- An iced chocolate and a cappuccino
A weekday brunch in Bangkok, no rush, no weekend crowds, is one of the best parts of a holiday. The pad thai came in a pretty little boat dish, tangy with tamarind and topped with peanuts, while the green chicken curry was the fragrant, coconutty one, mild and aromatic with lemongrass and basil, spooned over rice.
The showstopper was the crispy noodle-wrapped prawns, whole prawns wound in fine vermicelli and deep-fried into golden nests, served with a sweet-spicy dip, all shattering crunch and sweet prawn inside. So fun to eat.
To drink, an iced chocolate topped with cinnamon and a tidy cappuccino, a sweet, cooling pair against the savoury food. A varied, generous spread for around SGD$25, the kind of relaxed, sunny brunch a trip is made for.
Overall: 4.6 / 5. 😋👍🏼 Tangy pad thai, fragrant green curry and those gorgeous crispy-noodle prawns, a lovely Bangkok brunch. Would re-visit.
