What Not to Order in Bangkok - Honest Food Opinions

Bangkok has extraordinary food, but not every popular dish lives up to the hype.

• Oyster omelet at Pier 21: The temperature contrast ruined it for us. Half-warm oysters inside a hot omelet just didn’t land.

• 5-berry dessert: Sweet. Just sweet. No personality.

• 7-Eleven triangle sushi: Mostly rice. Almost no filling.

• Mango sticky rice: Controversial, I know. But perfectly ripe Thai mango doesn’t need rice. I’d rather spend those calories elsewhere.

• Satay skewers: Often overdried. In a city with this much culinary depth, you can do better.

• Sleep gummies: Took three. Nothing.

Curiosity is rewarded. Blind hype is not.
