Thailand's first insect fine-dining restaurant

Catching up with the global trend for edible creepy crawlies, Insects in the Backyard has landed at Thonburi’s new Chang Chui creative district. Chow down on fresh cricket pasta with basil pesto and chorizo, or a lobster grasshopper bisque seafood risotto. And it’s not just a gimmick. The chef picks up the crab meat-like texture of giant water beetle meat, blends it with ricotta cheese and stuffs it in ravioli. Elsewhere, the creamy and corny-flavored silkworm pupae gets paired with coffee in a tiramisu.
