Sat at the second-floor entrance to the decidedly hip Siam Vintage, Feat. is a cool, casual spot to watch Siam Square over a few drinks. The menu, however, forgoes gourmet frills and subtlety in its homage to all that’s fried and fatty in American cuisine—think burgers, sloppy joes and fries. Still it’s worth climbing the stairs to check out the small cubby-house of a venue that lies somewhere between a dream frat-boy’s hangout (a life-size Stormtrooper props up the bar, a mix of R&B and gangster rap blares from a MacBook, and there’s even an adjoining sneaker shop) and an arty loft (paint-splattered floorboards and exposed wires). With only a handful of actual dining tables, you can pull up a tall stool to the window-side counter that suits the casual bites on offer, like buffalo wings (B95) and prawn tartare (B95). Both are solid pre-meal nibbles: the former packs a nice sour flavor courtesy of a particularly vinegary cayenne marinade, while the latter comes with a pleasingly crunchy batter. The fried chicken and waffles (24-hour marinated chicken thighs with buttermilk Belgian waffles and coleslaw, B180), a fave in America’s South, avoids being too dry thanks to the sufficiently tender and juicy chicken. Even without the overly oily breading, you’re grateful for the large helping of aromatic waffles to soak it all up. The BBQ spare ribs (B180) are well-cooked, with the meat easy to pull off the bone, but the slice of pineapple on the side isn’t enough to turn this into a healthy option. However, the Feat. Parmigiana (deep-fried pork cutlet topped with cheese, bacon and tomato sauce, B140) is just too greasy, the breaded pork turned sponge-like under the dripping topping. The Caesar salad (B150) continues the theme, with massive croutons and a poached egg, all totally drenched in a pungent dressing. Drinks-wise, the recommended Tom Collins (gin and lemonade, B140) falls flat, overloaded as it is with sugar and lacking effervescence. Yet it’s cheap, like much of what’s served here, so it’s hard to really complain too much. This is unashamed comfort food that’s wandering deep into junk territory. The edgy setting and snapback cap-adorned crew, who deliver your dishes with style and swagger (all very politely, it must be said), suggest Feat.’s heart is in the right place, even if the food might give yours a scare. Corkage B300.
