The low-down on Ekkamai's newest community mall, Qiss
We drop by the latest community mall in town and find everything from ice-drip coffee and rustic seafood to modern vegetarian delights.
Alice’s Rustic Seafood
With its rustic wooden tables and contemporary black and white dining room, Alice promises to take you on a seafood journey with dishes like prawn and scallop chili coriander lemon (B380) baked in a brick oven, simple clams on toast (B180) or classics like fish n' chips and seafood paella. Take a seat by the illustrations inspired by Alice in Wonderland where you also enjoy a bite of chicken wings (B160) or spaghetti bolognese with wagyu meatballs (B350) before wash it all down with Brewdog craft beers and Brothers cider.
2/F, 02-339-3848-9. tinyurl.com/o7kgzhm. Open daily 9am-10pm
Siam Signature
The second branch of Siam Signature (the original is in Ari) offers up ice drip coffee, a process which requires some patience but is totally worth it--sweeter and less sour than regular cups. If you’re not into the slow-drip stuff, try the regular espresso options or a strawberry smoothie (B40) along with homemade low fat cupcakes with flavors like matoom (bael, B60) and carrot (B85) or try the mango swirl cheese cake (B85).
2/F, 081-870-1357. Open daily 7:30am-8pm
Phuk Yar
Good news for vegetarians and veggie lovers, the simple-looking Phuk Yar offers up all sorts of Thai vegetarian dishes. Some of the dishes include laab hed (spicy shiitake salad in Northeastern style, B89) and guay tiew haeng (stir-fried noodle with vegetables, B69)—all are guaranteed to contain no MSG. The drinks are also health-conscious, too, with no synthetic sugar added and sweetened by honey only. Try the avocado smoothie (B80) which comes with choices of mango or apple.
