Food
and Story
People who love to eat are always the best people.

Bangkok is alive and
amazing! I want to go back please. I'm reminiscing about street shopping with
Paella in my hand and stopping to sip the Chang beer as the locals go about
their life. Bangkok isn't complete until you've followed your stomach through
the city's best restaurant and street food scene.
Let's begin.
Breakfast Story Restaurant
The Ultimate
breakfast place!
I ordered the
breakfast story (300 baht) it comes with pancakes, bacon, eggs, seasoned
potatoes and a fruit cup. They're fluffy and delish! with a serving of whipped
real butter and maple syrup.
After You
Dessert Cafe (Central
World)
Matcha Shibuya Toast
Queen B Fudge Cake
Pla pao
Whole fish stuffed with
lemongrass, crusted in salt, and grilled to blackened perfection. Take off the
skin and dig in.
pad thai
This ubiquitous dish hardly
needs any introduction. A mix of stir-fried rice noodles with tofu, peanuts,
green onions, bean sprouts, garlic, pepper, and fish sauce, pad thai is
best when topped with a squeeze of lime and some crushed peanuts.
gaeng kiew wan gai
Looking for something hot, hot,
hot? Dive into a bowl of this green curry, which is traditionally made with a
paste from fresh green Thai chili peppers. Other elements are thrown
in—chicken, Thai basil, coconut milk, fish sauce, kaffir lime leaves.
tom yum
A combination of salty, sweet,
spicy, and sour owing to its ingredients—most often including shrimp,
mushrooms, tomatoes, lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime leaves. Go crazy and
order it with coconut milk and cream.
khao niew ma muang
When it comes to dessert, many of us think
of pies, cakes, and truffles. Fruit and rice? Not so much. This mango sticky
rice is popular the world over for a reason. To make it, vendors combine soaked
and steamed sticky rice with sugar and coconut cream and top with fresh mango
and sesame seeds.
