Earlier this year, Google revealed its list of top declining and trending foods. Sorry hipsters, but quinoa and gluten-free donuts are taking a nose-dive. The number one trending food is... turmeric! Here's where to get in on the trend in Bangkok.
Not Just Another Cup's Golden Latte (B100)
One of Sathorn’s favorite brunch destinations recently introduced this drink which puts a spin on the everyday latte by using turmeric powder instead of coffee beans. Blended with frothed milk and topped again with turmeric flavoring, this is a musty-try for those perhaps looking to cut down on their caffeine habit.
75/1, Sathorn Soi 10, 02-635-3464. BTS Chong Nonsi
Broccoli Revolution’s Tofu Satay (B160)
While pork satay is a Thai mainstay, you can try a healthier version at Thonglor’s trendy vegetarian cafe. The skewered tofu chunks are marinated with the same spices used in pork satay, including a liberal dose of turmeric, cayenne, cumin seeds and more, thus giving out a familiar aroma to ensure the dish satisfies all your satay cravings.
899 Sukhumvit Soi 49, 095-251-9799. BTS Thong Lo
Vietnamese & More’s Cha Ca La Vong (B185)
If you’re looking for really good banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich), there’s arguably no better place than this homey shop. While the menu is packed with Vietnamese classics, you can also find lesser-known Hanoi specialties like the delicious cha ca la vong, which includes tilapia fish fried up in an intriguing blend of turmeric, galangal and dill—aromatic and moreish.
Rompo Mansion, 99/9-11 Thang Rotfai Khao-Saipaknam Rd., 02-671-9955
Prest Juice's Turmeric Glow (B180)
The pressed-juice brand that’s taking over supermarkets and farmer’s markets around the city has recently launched a juice that’s all about turmeric. Combined with apple and lemonade, the result is a sweet tangy juice that gives a boost of nutrition while being a refreshing beverage at the same time.
Pot Ministry’s Seafood Set (B2,500)
This hotpot institution goes beyond suki, shabu and jimjoom by offering four different types of soup, all based on favorites from each region in Thailand. The Southern soup selection is a version of gaeng lueng (yellow turmeric soup) which, when paired with the set of seafood and a side of Southern dried shrimp chili paste, is guaranteed to hit the spot.
8/F, EmQuartier, 693 Sukhumvit Rd., 02-003-6282. BTS Phrom Phong
Can't get enough of this super food?
Try out Kamin Chun by Ouay Un Osoth, turmeric capsule pills that come packed with curcumin powder and no other additives. Simply take 2-3 tablets three times a day after every meal to guarantee immediate health benefits, including improvements to digestion, gastro reflux, stomach ulcers, inflammatory bowels and many more.
