Nachos at La Monita (B225-295)
Grab your Mexican appetite and go light with the regular nachos—corn tortilla chips covered with melted cheese and fresh salsa—or big with Nacho Supreme, which let you choose between NZ ribeye steak, pork, chicken or shrimp on top of added guacamole and sour cream.

Salted egg French fries at The Third Pig (B120)
The Third Pig plays with a fusion of Western and Asian flavors. This particular dish sees crinkle-cut French fries plunged in oil then battered in salted egg yolk before being fried again—the results are crispy, salty and delicious.

Rice crackers at Baa Ga Din (B200)
Inspired by Thai street food, dishes at Baa Ga Din get dressed up with modern techniques and beautiful plating. That said, do expect those bold, fiery flavors to remain authentic. In the bar snack section on the menu, you’ll find these delicious rice crackers with a spicy kick hiding in a herbal salad dish, served with a small selection of house pickles.
Singha special: Buy one get one free on Singha Draught

Laab moo tod at Tuba (B190)
This retro bar’s standards can be up and down, but when they get it right, there are few things better than slurping down a beer while gorging on their to-die-for, larger-than-average laab moo tod—juicy, crispy, with just the right amount of heat.
34 Ekkamai Soi 21, 02-711-5500. Open daily 11am-midnight
Pork schnitzel at Ekamai Beer House (B325)
This three-story brick building offers plenty of live music with bands performing every Mon, Wed and Fri nights, while the free jukebox takes over the rest of the time. Worked up a big appetite? Order the schnitzel—a large piece of breaded pork that’s deep-fried to perfection.
Singha special: Pork schnitzel with one pint of Singha at B390
Ekkamai Soi 2, 02-714-3924. Open Mon-Fri 3:30pm-1am; Sat-Sun 11:30-1am
Deep-fried salmon with herbs at Jazzy Blue (B200)
Among all the pizzas, European and Thai offerings at this new jazz bar, the fried salmon with herbs is the ideal pairing with a cold beer or two. The venue also hosts live music every Thu-Sat from 8-10pm.

Chicken wings at Monsoon (B220)

Singha special: Chicken wings with two Singha pints at B390
Adelphi Suites Bangkok, 6 Sukhumvit Soi 8, 02-653-1110. Open daily 6-1am
Fried calamari at US Steakhouse (B350)
Despite the elegant decor of velvet cusions and leather seats, the food is casual and homey with dishes like pork chops, barbecue ribs and, of course, steaks like the New York strip loin, rib eye and filet mignon. But we’d opt for the crispy fried calamari to go with our beer.
Singha special: Singha draught at B99 during happy hour (5-7pm)
156-158 Sukhumvit Soi 16, 087-993-3527. Open Tue-Sun 11am-2pm, 5-10:30pm
Crispy pig’s ears at Osha (B270)
Osha’s swanky dining room should not put you off dropping by to have a drink and some delicious snacks at the statement gold-leaf bar. Our pick is the crispy-fried, five-spiced pig’s ears served in a banana-leaf cone with coconut peanut, spicy sambal aioli and slices of chili pepper.
99 Wireless Rd., 02-256-6555. Open daily 11am-2:30pm; Fri-Sat 6pm-midnight; Sun-Thu 6-11pm
Crispy chicken skin at Err (B150)
Bo.lan’s sister bar-restaurant Err is all about casual tapas meals with stiff drinks. The long bar snack menu ranges from toasted watermelon seeds with kaffir lime to batter-fried squid and a variety of house pickles. Try the photogenic crispy chicken skin, a non-greasy version of the favorite Thai snack, kept in the form of a whole chicken. The house-made Sriracha sauce lifts it up even more.
394/35 Maharaj Rd., 02-622-2291. Open Tue-Sun 11am-9pm
Why Singha?
Singha is the original Thai beer. Brewing began in 1933, and its clarity and refreshing mouthfeel remain unsurpassed in the Kingdom, making it the perfect drink for food pairings.
