Food was the highlight of my recent trip to Bangkok. We literally spent every waking moment hunting down cafes, restaurants and local eateries in the Land of Smiles. If you follow me on my instagram and snapchat accounts (@reginachow_sg), you would know that aside from my personal style posts, they were filled with pictures of food!
For once, shopping took a backseat, something that I didn’t think was possible in the past. I probably already gave you a flavour (pun intended) of what and where to eat in Bangkok on your next trip but I wanted to share more details in this post so you’ll know what to expect and more importantly, how you can get to these locations as well.

5. Chu Chocolate Bar & Cafe
Carbonara pasta stole the show at Chu |
Located at the Exchange Tower that is directly linked from Asoke BTS and diagonally across from Terminal 21 shopping mall, Chu Chocolate Bar & Cafe is one of the more accessible cafes in Bangkok.
It serves up a wide range of brunch options including perennial favourites such as eggs benedict and french toast, but in my humble opinion, the carbonara pasta stole all the limelight. Topped with a perfectly poached egg, the pasta was cooked to al dante perfection in a light creamy sauce that was tasty yet not overwhelming on the palate. Two thumbs up!
Address:
2nd floor, Exchange Tower (Asoke Intersection) – linked to Asoke BTS
Opening Hours:
Mon- Fri: 730am – 930pm
Sat-Sun: 9am – 9pm
6. Roast
Strawberry Honey Iced Tea & Cafe Latte |
Roast is another popular brunch spot that is equally known for their coffee (try their iced coffee!) and Strawberry Honey Iced Tea.
Iced Coffee from Roast |
Its main location at The Commons is currently under renovation, but you can still visit its branch at Emquartier, a luxury mall linked to Phrom Phong BTS station, which is even more accessible to the masses. You can expect snaking queues at this joint throughout the day.
Address:
First floor, The Helix, Emquartier (take BTS to Phrom Pheng)
Opening Hours:
10am – 10pm daily
7. SabX2 Wanton Mee

8. Rod Dee Det
Delicious beef and pork ball noodles at just 50 baht |
420 Siam Square Soi 7, Bangkok 10330, Thailand (Take BTS to Siam)
Opening Hours:
7.30am – 8pm
9. Inter
Affordably priced authentic Thai food |
Inter is an affordable option for authentic Thai food. It is very popular among locals and is usually packed during meal times. Typical Thai dishes such as Morning Glory with Sambal, Basil Chicken, Garlic Pork and the likes will not disappoint, but if you were to ask me to pick my favourites, the Tom Yum Soup and Pad Thai would make the list as they are breathtakingly good.
Address:
432/1-2 Siam Square 9, Bangkok (Take BTS to Siam)
Opening Hours:
11am – 930pm
10. Number One Thai Iced Milk Tea
Me & my daily dose of Number One Thai Iced Milk Tea |
If you are a huge fan of Thai Iced Milk Tea, Number One Brand’s version is a must-try. It is suitably thick and has just the right hint of sweetness to give you that extra kick. There are several kiosks and stalls around Bangkok, usually accompanied by long queues. You can find the kiosks at several BTS stations and at the food courts of major malls. For your easy reference, I have also included a link with a full listing of its stalls below.
