I’m always one for finding new hideaways where I can fuel my love for caffeine and casually eat to sustain my appetite for the day. Bangkok certainly has its fair share of venues dripping with style and serving delicious brunch options and White Shuffle BKK is the latest to join the rosta.
The restaurant sits comfortably underneath the shade of the Novotel Suites, a modern chic full service accommodation nestled on the edge of Bangkok’s trendiest neighbourhood.
White Shuffle BKK itself offers a scene of tranquility with its white ceramics, grey marble tables and open plan spacing showing off the kitchen and its team. Sophistication doesn’t stop at the decor. Each menu item reads as contemporary comfort but is plated in elegance making this one of the most photogenic haunts we’ve been to in a while.
Although busy at weekends, the weekdays are peaceful and a welcome escape from Sukhumvit Road.
Now on to the good stuff. The food.
Spoilt for choice, we were fortunate to try some of the star dishes recommended by the friendly staff. The menu itself is balanced with light and heavy options to delight the taste buds.
The first dish deserved of mentioned was the trio of Thai Wagyu French Toast. I mean the name alone just screams godly but the pairing of rich egg yolk creme and black truffle mayonnaise was just naughty!
To offset this decadent snack we had a Coldcuts & Figs Mixed Salad with beets and a sharp Raspberry Vinaigrette to cut through the richness of our sharing bite.
A large European influence in the menu has come from Chef Yannick Hollenstein, Head Chef at White Shuffle BKK with sparks of Asian influence under the guidance of Chef/ Owner Khun Krisda (Nick) Chintakananda.
The Carbonara Ravioli With Truffle Foam is a good example of that with Potato Espuma, Pecorino Romano, Spring onion, Onsen Egg and Smoked Bacon all featuring.
As with all good things there must be a climatic end and what could be more perfect than fluffy Blueberry Pancakes with a large dollop of Madagascar Vanilla Ice cream drizzled in Maple Syrup and light Lychee Blossom Honey. A sweet tooth dream!
White Shuffle BKK has effortlessly created a bubble of tranquility in Bangkok and the menu is perfect for sharing. It’s one of those restaurants where hours fly by and we can’t wait to head back with a book and spend the afternoon eating at their delicate dishes and sipping some tea.
We feel White Shuffle BKK has earned its place in our Best Brunch in Bangkok guide for 2021 which you can read through the link.
