If you’re one that loves to treat yourself to a hearty feast on weekends, you might want to try out Sunday Brunch at Stock.Room, a stylish dining space and grocerant amid the green lungs of the capital at Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok.
“It’s not just brunch, it’s lifestyle” is quite a suitable description of this space. The first thing that greets you is the bustling (but not too overwhelming) market vibe, followed by the intoxicating aroma of freshly brewed coffee from the in-house roastery, and rows of various live cooking stations where farm-to-table international dishes are made. Overall, it’s the kind of vibe that gets your appetite piqued.
You can just sit back, enjoy the food and the marketplace buzz of the ambiance (sans the clamor and the heat of the actual market!), or nurture your inner gourmand and fully immerse yourself in food, and Stock.Room is probably a decent place to do it as the establishment has been recognized as the “Best Brunch in Town”. You get a spread of fresh bakes, tasty grills, popular Thai street dishes, most-favorite international grubs, gourmet cheeses and condiments as well freshly squeezed juices and coffee from the roastery. And because there are six live cooking stations for you to go around, you get to watch the chefs in action, observe their techniques and ask them questions (go on, nerd out!). And the best part? You get that yummy-looking dish to enjoy.
The brunch also offers à la carte selections curated by Chef Lamberto Valdez Lara that puts fun twists on classic brunch bites. These include lobster caviar eggs benedict, which is a luxurious spin on a New York City signature brunch dish, the richly flavored fusion Mexican-Spanish paella, hearty country-style steak and eggs, grilled Kobe beef and fresh Canadian lobster. There are also griddle waffle and pancakes stacks, served with sweet or savory toppings of your choice, along with the signature French toast.
While you’re here (and very likely inspired by all the cooking you’ve seen), don’t miss out on the grocery section where you can pick up some gourmet ingredients to stock up your fridge at home. There are high-quality beef cuts, salamis, ribs, and seasonal seafood as well as artisanal cheeses and cured meats. The pasta station offers a variety of sauces, imported olives, mushrooms, and different kinds of homemade pasta to make your own yummy plates at home. Just grab one of those eco-bags, fill it up and opt for the convenient and safe cashless payment at the cashier.
Despite being indoors, you can also enjoy the relaxing greenery the hotel is known for pretty much from anywhere you sit in Stock.Room. If the market vibe is a bit too much for you, or if you’re celebrating a special occasion, the restaurant also offers private dining rooms to help you keep things intimate among your besties.
