Thonglor’s @preludebkk are doing impressive things with local ingredients and pan-Asian flavors. This khao soy bao is no joke. It’s only part of this month’s comfort-themed popup brunch, but give this post enough love and they might just have to bring it back. Look out for the next Sunday popup in late July. The coffee from @sarnies.bkk is of course excellent. #bkbites #brunch

@viamarisbkk is now open for brunch every Sunday between 11:30am to 4pm. The dishes are so flavorful and will cure your Saturday night hangover. The shakshuka with slow-roasted sweet peppers, chorizo and egg (B450/4th photo) is definitely our favorite. You also must try their homemade soft and chewy pita bread. #brunch #foodporn #Bangkokbrunch #BKBites

Team Roast goes fine dining with Sathorn’s Ocken. Amid an alluring mix of teal and dark wood, executive chef Johnny Liu and his team prep a globe-trotting menu that’s full of East-meets-West tropes. The Barron Point Oysters (B300/2pcs) make a refreshing start to the meal, served with a grapefruit yuzu mignonette, shiso and piment peppers. Follow with the Mini Cubano (B220): two bite-size but punchy sandwiches filled with thinly sliced pork, melted Swiss and gruyere, pickles, jalapenos, mustard and mojo aioli. To drink, order the Salty Pineapple (B320): Campari, dark rum, pineapple and a hint of sea salt. #bkbites

We’re done. Wake us tomorrow when maybe the effects of eating 25 Degrees’ new eight burger delivery box—with fries and chicken wings—have worn off (it all just tasted too good to stop). If you’ve got B2,000 to spare and reckon you can handle a seriously beefy food coma, order yours on Line @25degreesbkk / 02-352-4192. There’s also a four burger set (B1,200) for wimps—or you could get a couple of friends together and share.

@siwilaicityclub is teaming up with Johnnie Walker to host Thailand’s first-ever Kitsuné Afterwork Bangkok event. The new electro-dance series from the French tastemakers kicks off Jun 27 from 7-11pm, and the lineup’s nothing to balk at, including 15-year-vet of the deck-spinning game The Whooligan and Manila’s rising DJ, who made a splash with his performance alongside Skepta at Boiler Room Tokyo. Better yet, entry is completely free and there's also tons of giveaway goodies from Kitsuné. Good cocktails, food and beats in a chill setting: sounds like a winning combination.

Nestled in a fluorescent light-soaked soi, The Steakhouse Co. has whipped Patpong’s red-light district into a frenzy with a mouthwatering selection of sizzling prime steaks. The main stars here include a wide range of beef cuts, from their opulent USDA Prime striploin (250g, B1,075) to their premium-quality 120-day dry-aged Australian Black Angus sirloin (400g, B2,075). Italian house wines are served by the glass (B215), but we recommend the Domaine du Chene Chardonnay (B1,900 per bottle)—its mellow aftertaste is a great match for a heavy meal. #bkbites

Scents of Bangkok by @kathy_macleod

Chong Nonsi gets a dose of high-fiber, antioxidant fitness foods. Located right near the BTS,, Makai Acai & Superfood Bar provides healthy shakes, snacks and salad bowls for gym enthusiasts and health-conscious office workers alike. Their Makai Original Blend (B160) combines acai, bananas and strawberries to perfection with a crunchy granola topping. For those on the run, their protein Popeye Acai smoothie (B160) is a must-try, blending almond milk with bananas, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds and wheatgrass for the ultimate health kick. #bkbites
