The long-standing roaster and retailer of coffee-making machines finally reopens after a long facelifting renovation. It’s perhaps time to return for its best-selling Cento Espresso, the house-blend that uses medium-roasted beans collected from different parts of Thailand. Everyone’s beloved grandma barista, a crowd-drawer in her own right, is back to put together a cuppa from her Spirit Duette coffee-making machine.
Brekkie reinvents yucky-looking health food into mouth-watering dishes using organic ingredients, especially the quinoa. A must-try is the flavorful fried quinoa tom-yum with diced salmon, which was inspired by tom yum fried rice.
Beer-and-food pairing master Dan Bark expands the success of his progressive American cuisine at Upstairs at Mikkeller to Sundays with a waffles & beer Sunday brunch. But there’s so much more going on than the name suggests. Bark also serves up beers and chicken fried with maple syrup.
Desserts created out of vegetables? Trust us, it’s pretty awesome! Japan’s Patisserie Potager is now in Bangkok with their signature veggie dessert. This dish is for everyone, even those who usually ‘hate their greens’ because the combination of flavors is so unexpected. The cauliflower tiramisu mousse mixes cauliflower with mascarpone cheese as well as pumpkin roll cake, a vanilla cake roll filled with Japanese pumpkin cream.
From its origins as a small organic cafe, Farm to Table now occupies a charming vintage space in Bangkok’s flower market. Its homemade ice cream selections have always been remarkable and this month sees the introduction of chestnut ice cream, made with fresh chestnuts from northern Thailand, chestnut purée from France and organic milk, served with fried chestnuts from Bangkok’s Chinatown.
It’s your first chance to try the beef that won first runner-up at the Wagyu Olympics 2012. Raised on mineral water and the finest rice in Akita prefecture, the cattle are from the same black-haired breed that produces Kobe and Matsusaka beef, legendary for their tender texture and sublime marbled layers. Thanks to the chef’s French slow-cooking process, this Akita beef shank really does melt in the mouth.
Meatlicious is currently Bangkok’s best bet for beef, thanks to its exclusive grilling techniques and the creative input of consulting chef Gaggan Anan, who personally sourced the best farm-to-table wagyu from Japan. Don’t forget to try all of the five condiments: salt and lemon, fermented white rice with salt, fermented red rice with salt, yuzu and chilli.
Until the end of June, Greyhound Café creates special dishes inspired by Italy and its fashion, art, coffee and food cultures. The dish we love most is high heels pizza for its perfect marriage of food and fashion. Not to give too much away, but salami and black olives are served in the shape of a lady’s high heels.
At all Greyhound Café branches.
Good churros are a rare find in Bangkok so we’re particularly grateful for Dolly Churro Café. Their Dolly Churro Strawberry Sundae combines strawberry sundae ice cream and a cinnamon churro before being topped with whipped cream, strawberries and crumbs.
With homemade dough, French butter, slow-cooking techniques and an experienced chef, Holy Moly is a special place to get some good pie . There are eight fillings for now, and we recommend the bangers & mash: a crispy pie filled with caramelized Italian sausage and red wine, topped with mashed potato and best eaten with homemade pickled veggies. For a sweet sensation, try the succulent, spicy and aromatic Pineapple Express pie.
As if the new collaboration between Bangkok’s new supperclub and Blue Elephant wasn’t exciting enough. Chefs Tony Bish and Anchana Ratanakovit refashion Thai food with modern techniques such as sous-vide, vacuum and foam. The duo prep three seasonal set menus: Earth, Fire and Water. A highlight of the latter four-course set is Mae Naam, a reinterpretation of dimsum using tiger prawns, white radish and spicy soup.
