10 Bangkok food disasters that should never have existed

17 September, 2015 Bangkok time

We’ve been looking through the BK food review archives. Here’s a selection of times from the past year when our writers really put the boot in.

Bitterman’s Mr Rapee Spaghetti

BK Said: “A mountain of black spaghetti, spicy Arrabbiata sauce, a bechamel-like creamy substance and a massive layer of melted cheese and, the cherry on top, a large river prawn. It’s part cheese-saturated lasagna with a hint of local flavor (owing to plenty of Thai basil and chili)—and simply not very good.”


S’mores’ Marshmallow Set

BK Said: “Delivered to your table is a pot of shisha coals on which you’re meant to toast a few bog-standard marshmallows. We assume most of the price goes on the coal, because it’s certainly not on ingredients.”

 

It's marshmallow time!!!!

Hyde & Seek Peek-a-boo's Sloppy Joe Duck Burger

BK Said: “Tastes like a bad canteen chili sandwiched between a bun dyed neon pink. And it doesn’t even come with fries.”

Dexter’s Middle Earth Salad

BK Said: “A mound of greens drizzled with a sweet pink dressing. The worst part, though, are the clumps of fried chicken—so crispy they resemble pork crackling.”

Pink Tender’s Apple Crumble Milkshake

BK Said: “Tastes like watered-down Yakult.”


Wicked’s Bla Bla banoffee pie

BK Said: “A disaster. The layer of banoffee ice cream tastes artificial, and is topped with sweet chocolate drinking powder. Digging deeper, there’s a layer of crumble that reminds us of cheap convenience-store cookies.”

Vivarium’s Ebi Pizza with Kaeng Som Spice

BK Said: “An overabundance of tasteless stringy cheese, an off-putting under-taste of something Thai and a mismatched fishy flavor that makes the whole thing baffling.”

Junker & Bar’s Pizzadila with Wild Mushroom and Bacon

BK Said: “Two grilled tortillas sandwiching a mess of tomatoes, mushrooms, cheese and a nauseating amount of truffle oil.”


Kai’s Kiwi Salad

BK Said: “A bloated garden variety side salad we’d be embarrassed to rock up to a family barbecue with under our arm.”


Mono+Mono’s Pork Belly Bao

BK Said: “Braised pork which tastes as though it's been slathered in Marmite.”

 

One of Thailand's greatest sins. Mono + Mono pork belly bun!
