Chocolate Chip Cookie Company

Just the Dough Cookie

Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookie

Banana Walnut Cookie

White Chocolate Macadamia Cookie

Pumpkin Café Marshmallow Cookie

M&M Cookie

Cinnamon Sugar Cookie

Cranberry White Chocolate Cookie

Oatmeal Raisin Cookie

Half & Half Cookie

Previously located inside Suite 242 of 6380 South Valley View Boulevard, but now sold retail at a pair of sites in town, Chocolate Chip Cookie Company continues to serve Las Vegas’ best collection of locally made rounds.

Focused on “Bringing the Cookie Back,” and also available only by delivery, it was late 2018 that Jovan Mesa-Glennon and husband John opened their small store and business continues to grow today.

Baking everything from scratch, Jovan’s secret recipes yielding the sort of Cookie that blossoms a bit around the edge before becoming crisp, it was based on prior experience that two-dozen were ordered for work, the business’ namesake buttery with just enough Vanilla and Cinnamon to perfume the palate while chunks of Bittersweet Chocolate are partially melted throughout the center.

Next tasting Half & Half followed by Chocolate Chip Banana, the addition of Nuts to Mrs. Mesa-Glennon‘s Batter proves predictably delicious while “Just the Dough” is textbook chewy with oodles of nostalgia.

Prioritizing customer safety by individually bagging each Cookie at no extra cost White Chocolate Macadamia wins guests over by way of natural sweetness and toasty spots in juxtaposition to sugary Toffee Chocolate Chip that is also slightly salty and heterogeneous from bite-to-bite.

Titling their version of the Snickerdoodle a “Cinnamon and Sugar Cookie,” the granulated top plus plenty of Butter making each mouthful sugary and moist, fans should be sure to follow @thechocolatechipcookieco on Social Media where specials such as White Chocolate and Craisins or Pumpkin Café Marshmallow are frequently announced.

A sister concept to the green-starred Jampa “Hideaway” by Jampa expands on Trisara Resort’s commitment to zero-waste Cuisine by focusing exclusively on local Ingredients derived from their own organic Farm.

Begun as a pop-up, but now offered every Saturday, guests begin with a thirty minute tour of the 100% organic grounds where everything from Fruit trees to Crucifers and Herbs are grown year round.

Toqued by Chef Rick Dingen of the Netherlands the menu is created daily from the harvest, each day offering something a little different including Eggs selected by the diners themselves and whatever free-range Protein was caught or slaughtered.

Hosted outdoors at PRU Jampa Farm it is in 4 courses that 10 plates are served, each fresh and balanced in an idyllic setting that begins with low-ABV Cocktails which pair well to bites of Oyster, Sunchoke or housemade Cheese.

A story of the terroir, Eggs fried simply with Mushrooms and Goat Milk, those expecting “Thai” flavors will find it in a River Prawn dressed in Nuts and Papaya while Mackerel trends Mexican thanks to Melon and Cucumber.

Offered a fresh Coconut with Entrees, Chicken roasted over charcoal made on site and caramelized Cabbage with Sesame Hollandaise tasted back and forth, Dessert comes in two parts featuring local Chocolate and Eggplant Mousse on the heels of Mango, Coconut and Tamarind akin to Chamoyada.

Marionberry Chocolate, Persimmon Chocolate, Bleu Cheese Chocolate

Recently reopened after an extensive renovation PRU focuses on “community-to- fork” gastronomy from Chef Jimmy Ophorst, a location just steps from Phuket’s most exclusive resort affording visitors a luxury experience previously unavailable in the area.

An acronym for “Plant. Raise. Understand.,” Jimmy and his team going to great lengths in explaining why Ingredients are chosen and how they are showcased, guests are welcomed in the lobby where Thai Sparkling Wine begins a progressive tasting that soon proceeds to a fully open kitchen.

A short ride from Phuket’s top Resorts, nearby Trisara playing host to a modern building with on-site gardens, it is in the lobby that diners nibble on small bites including a Kimchi Pancake before taking a front and center seat in front of chefs that are friendly and engaging.

Truly a celebration of Thailand’s bounty, Ophorst willfully choosing unique ingredients, course one places Durian amidst Shiso and Caviar with spectacular results before moving onward to a slice of Giant Travelly perfumed by Ceylon Oak that grow 50 meters above the ground.

Obtaining many ingredients from co-owned PRU Jampa Farm, 1.6 hectares of organic soil available for tours, Bread arrives with too much (IE just enough) local Butter prior to Black Crab Curry given complexity by Tea and a Fennel Bulb baked in Pastry atop Sauce bolstered by Vanilla.

A bold and concise sort of cuisine, no extraneous additions but every dish an expression of the Chef with faultless cooking, Coral Grouper is perhaps the most straight-forward presentation of the night – especially in comparison to Squid in Blue Cheese with laminated Rolls to sop up the excess.

Finishing savories with rosy Duck Breast in a peppered Sauce as complex as Mole it is by way of Guava Granita heated by Pepper that the palate is cleansed en route to Banana with Salted Plum and Citrus.

Back to the lounge to finish, four Mignardises followed by Coffee and Chocolates, PRU may only currently hold 1* from Michelin but the cooking achieves at a 2* level with 3* aspirations and the means to get there.

Take Home Sauce

Trained at the CIA it was after six years as the Executive Chef at Jean Georges in Manhattan that Chef Pichaya ‘Pam’ Soontornyanakij returned home to open POTONG, a multi-sensory showcase already capturing the attention of w50b and other culinary awards.

Thai-Chinese-Australian by descent and raised in Bangkok POTONG resides inside the Chef’s ancestral place of business and seeks to tell a story built upon technique, history and emotions in the style of an elegant Tasting Menu.

Not necessarily easy to locate, the ancient apothecary situated amidst narrow streets, it is upon entry that guests are offered a drink in the lounge before ascending a tight elevator to the top floor meant for star-gazing plus housemade Charcuterie.

Explained across 20 courses and five floors, Chef Pam’s Food embracing zero-waste ethos and roots in “5 Elements,” small bites arrive plated organically prior to “a tale of Palm Tree” – five “courses” plated as one with the Palm Meat Bun particularly memorable.

A story-teller’s cuisine, the live Oyster presented with an augmented reality photo telling of its harvest, Shrimp Roe and Mud Crab each arrive texturally complex in unexpected ways with big flavors.

Cleansing the palate with two bites of Carrot and Date, the following Fish course offered in three forms including an edible Skeleton, Potong’s pièce de résistance is a perfectly cooked Duck Breast served alongside its Brain, Heart, Eggs and Rillettes.

Next delving into three distinct bites of Pomelo, progressing bitter to sweet, Soontornyanakij’s Dessert primary Dessert eats akin to Lemon Meringue Pie prior to Mignardises over dry-ice and a “Fortune Cookie” plus take-home gifts.

Baan Ice’s Steamed Egg

Crispy Ivy Gourd & Morning Glory Spicy Salad

Stir Fried Crab in Yellow Curry with Egg

Stir Fried Vermicelli with Shrimp

Crispy Shrimp Heads with Salt

Baan Ice’s Clams

Nakhon’s Coconut Milk Savory Soup

Thai Tea Shaved Ice

At one time a single location serving Grandmother’s recipes to locals Baan Ice can now be found on the 5th floor of IconSiam Shopping Center offering the same classic Southern Thai Food plus great service with a view.

The more casual offshoot of Chef Supaksorn “Ice” Jongsiri’s Sorn, arguably Thailand’s best Restaurant, Baan Ice focuses on more casual fare and was actually opened by Jongsiri’s grandma and gifted to him after finishing school in America.

Busy but not packed at lunch, a similar menu offered all day, guests are greeted fondly with or without reservations and presented a sizable menu featuring everything from Soup to Stir Fry and larger composed plates.

More nuanced than the average Thai eatery, as expected for someone so extensively trained, Baan Ice’s Steamed Egg eats light with silky consistency while the fried Salad with spicy Pickles is as light as all but the best temples of Tempura.

A space where exploring more esoteric options is recommended, Stir Fried Crab in Yellow Curry far more interesting than Stir Fried Vermicelli with Shrimp, suffice it to say Fried Shrimp Heads are as crisp as they are while dried Clams are sweet, spicy and kissed with Citrus all at once.

Served Coconut Soup last, as good if not better than the one at Sorn, Dessert treads lightly in the form of airy Shaved Ice offered as Thai Tea or Red Fruit.

One of several restaurants in Asia from Thitid ‘Ton’ Tassanakajohn Le Du was rated 15th on the San Pellegrino list in 2023, and number 1 in Asia as a result of its ability to reinterpret Thai Cuisine through a French lense.

One star per Michelin, the Thai word for “Season” relevant across a tasting menu full of seasonal ingredients and finesse, most guests will opt for White Wine to pair with plates such as River Shrimp with Beets and toasted Coconut or follow-up bites including charred Mushrooms atop Beans or two types of Fish married by Citrus.

Eight proper courses plus extras, an opening volley of Squid with Strawberries and Salted Egg impressive in its boldness, fans of raw Fish will find Thitid’s Snapper akin to Aguachiles before proceeding to crispy-skinned Grouper perfumed by Chives.

A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, evident in plates such as Pork Dumplings awash in Pickled Plums and local Wagyu dressed up in Herbs, saucing proves universally impressive – particularly the White Chive Cream and velvety Shrimp Paste on Le Du’s signature Prawn dish.

Certainly more “Western” than most of Bangkok’s top tables, a palate cleansing Sorbet transitioning sweet, Coconuts and Corn find nuance in Sesame prior to Mignardises and a plate of fresh local Fruit.

Self-described as a “house of Croissant” it is in Ekkamai that guests will find a two-story shop selling Viennoiserie, and although purists likely won’t find the lamination up to par a dose of creativity goes far at Susan Croissant.

Known for a large collection of Pastries amidst cute décor, smaller-than-average portions allowing diners to sample a variety, it is fresh from the oven that Susan is best experienced, at least in the case of their Butter version that crackles nicely to the tooth.

Sold out of “Fridos,” by noon, their version of a Cronut, guests should look to filled options for Susan Croissant’s best bites whether it be Blueberries with Cream or the #instagram famous Salted Egg Lava version best eaten with a fork and knife.

Located on the first floor of EmQuartier shopping center DROP BY DOUGH comes from a travel blogger known as OATS x Somewhere, and now with three locations plus a menu that has expanded to cover “Modern Scandinavian Comfort Food” the project can rightly be considered a success even though the base is fairly dry and basic.

Inspired by the owner’s travels, though neither Salted Egg nor Sweet Corn were available at 13h00 on Wednesday, it was instead “Classic Vanilla” and a Cinnamon Sugar twist that failed to impress while Young Coconut & Almond as well as Caramel Creme Brulee covered up the Dough’s monotony with sweet fillings.

Tom Yum – Mushrooms, Lemongrass, Prawns

Goong tod-gra-tiam – Prawn, Garlic, Pepper

The surprise recipient of a Michelin Star in the inaugural Bangkok 2018 guide, an accolade since retained, Raan Jay Fai takes its title from owner Supinya Junsuta’s nickname and can be identified by sizable crowds gathering as early as 06h00 Wednesday through Saturday.

Known for her black goggles and tireless work ethic, a one-woman show overseeing two woks and live fire while her staff serves and wrangles throngs of hungry guests, diners are asked to sign in and wait nearby until called with anyone arriving later than 07h30 guaranteed to queue for at least two hours.

Officially open at nine o’clock, just ten tables at a time in the cash-only establishment, it is prior to seating that orders are placed such that those requesting a prized Crab Meat Omelet (or two) will be served within minutes at the table.

Golden-brown and oilless without much filler, a price considered high by Thai standards nonetheless a bargain, additional highlights include stir-fried Noodles tossed with fresh Prawns and organic local Vegetables.

Fast-paced and matter-of-fact, only the rare guest allowed a photo with the energetic 73 year old Street Food icon, those seeking spice will find plenty in Phad kra-pao while highlights beyond the Omelette include Goong tod-gra-tiam and dry Congee loaded with Shellfish and complexity.

banana liqueur

young rice pudding and sago noodle with caramelized banana, thai local coconut curd cake

marijuana rum

More a house party than a Restaurant in its flow Samrub Samrub is the result of Chef Prin Polsuk’s extensive knowledge of Thai cuisine combined with a willingness to implement Ingredients rarely seen on menus elsewhere.

An idea begun as a series of pop-ups after departing the top toque at Nahm, historic texts informing a Cuisine that is familiar yet progressive, it is once inside that guests are taken on a journey featuring Sauces from unlabeled bottles and fermentation projects ranging from Cocktails to the Fish Sauce.

Joined by wife Thanyaporn “Mint” Jarukittikun, who runs a front of house that is fun but informative, it is through excellent sourcing and an experienced hand that flavors hit hard from a bowl of local Nuts to the finale over two hours later.

Agile enough to change each day, Mint’s work with local suppliers assuring returning guests a unique experience every time, early courses arrive as a series of fried bites including crispy Crab intended to be eaten whole followed by Sheatfish stuffed with Shrimp Paste.

Not at all “fine dining,” a largely local clientele fueled by housemade Spirits universally having fun, Snails arrive bursting with flavor inside grilled Bamboo prior to vibrant Prawn laab and Wild Boar Soup so spicy that even locals found themselves nibbling on Coconut or drinking its Milk after.

Generous with portions, Chef Polsuk stopping by to explain a smoky plate of Crab and Chilis alongside spongy Bee Larvae, savories concluded with Beef Curry and grilled Chicken bolstered by Fish Sauce plus Citrus.

Tucked away in Charoen Krung, the wait for Samrub Samrub’s special Crab Omelette far less protracted than at Raan Jay Fai, Dessert from Nuttawat Chotikasupa offers dueling plates of flawless Rice Pudding and Coconut Cake before celebratory shots from the Chef’s private stash.

Black sticky Rice, Jasmine Rice

Smoked coconut noodles with palm sugar sabayon lemon basil seed, strawberry, dried pineapple

Petit fours – Thai Coffee

Petit fours – guava lychee

Opened in 2013 and the recipient of a Michelin Star five year later Paste comes from the wife and husband team of Bongkoch ‘Bee’ Satongun and Jason Bailey, its location in an upscale mall primed for international guests and posh environs.

Found at the top of Gaysorn Village, a view of downtown Bangkok afforded to all who enter, it is after pleasant greetings that guests are seated in curved banquettes matched by soft lines and a spiraling sculpture that fills the dining room.

Filled by muted tones and organic flourishes, the staff all suited and professional, diners at lunch are invited to choose the Tasting Menu or a la carte, though each begin a sip of bubbly Fruit Juice and a Meringue served on a decorative backdrop with Shrimp Paste.

Opting for the Tasting, nine plates plus extras divided into 3-courses at 3800 baht per person, it is following elaborate Cocktail preparation that three small plates arrive, Roasted duck with nutmeg and curry something of a signature while Salmon, Scallops and Uni are all magnified by Thai Fruit and Herbs.

Focused on royal Thai cooking reinterpreted through a modern lense, a small Tart preparing the palate for “Soup and Salad,” Chef Satongun’s Watermelon Rind and Fish Roe Soup dazzles with depth while a charred Prawn unfortunately got lost in the acid and heat of a Pomelo Salad.

Giving diners a choice of Entrees, a plate of tender Mushrooms plus two types of Rice also provided in liberal portions, poached Chicken comes bathed in Winter Melon and Peppers while seasonal Crab sees its sweetness balanced by Yellow Curry salted by Samphire.

Not forgetting intricate Thai Tea Pudding, though its placement before Entrees was unexpected, Dessert sees “noodles” of smoked Coconut Panna Cotta in aromatic Sabayon before a pair of Mignardises arrive to finish.

Although there is a location now at ICONSiam it is out on Ratchaphruek Road that Chef Pachara Thakerngkiat made his name, training at Le Cordon Blue and success on Iron Chef making Croissants so sought-after that lines aren’t uncommon and nor are sell-outs by noon.

Opened January before the pandemic, a difficult time since forgotten in the wake of success, it is upon entry that guests are offered seating in a sizable space with table service that is both charming and efficient.

A quiet place good for small-talk or telecommuting, with a menu that moves fluidly from sweet to savory, it is with Coffee that most partake in Viennoiserie including plain and filled Croissants such as Raspberry Paradiso or a black version featuring Matcha Cream.

Also offering Croffles, or laminated Dough pressed in an iron beneath assorted toppings, James’ newest addition features a hemisected Croissant of choice with its honeycomb interior filled by Soft Serve and toppings including crumbled Pistachios.

A “do one thing and do it well” concept, large bowls beginning at just 55 baht, Jok Prince’s Rice arrives broken down but still with a bit of texture and an overall effect that is creamy yet smoky surrounding chopped Vegetables, Meatballs and Offal with freshly-fried Donuts on the side.

Cashew butter and red guava jam to take home

Toqued by Supaksorn Jongsiri Sorn is considered by most to be the best restaurant in Thailand and a reservation to be sought after, the menu spanning 16 proper courses with many containing several parts unfolding across three hours.

Housed in a secluded two-story home and currently rated 2* by Michelin it is on arrival that guests are ushered to posh tables, a description of Thailand’s geography provided along with a map displaying where all of the night’s Ingredients are from.

Built on traditional southern recipes and fresh local products, the flavors decidedly Thai but more so an author’s cuisine rooted in Chef Jongsiri’s memories of his grandmother, it is accompanied by Wine that dinner begins with small bites including an amuse touching each part of the tongue en route to Sand Mole Crab in a crispy nest.

Frequently presenting whole Animals prior their edible parts a trio of bites from Phuket soon led to succulent River Prawns on a Cracker before Torch ginger Sorbet cleansed the palate in preparation for Sorn’s signature “Gems on Crab Stick.”

Mindful of balance and pacing, the fiery Yellow Chili Paste quickly mellowed by “All good things from coconut” as Soup, “The sea holds the forest” arrives to be mixed tableside featuring bold aromatics and a bit of brine across varying consistencies.

Not a tasting for the timid or small appetites, upscale Roti next found alongside spoon-tender Beef, the night’s first Rice arrives perfectly cooked with condiments including Red Corn, Wild Spider Flower, sticky Pork and dried Stingray.

Next upgrading snappy Beans with Catfish and Pig Skin, a refreshing lead-in to smoky Chicken in Green Curry fortified by Blood, Crab Curry arrived as a “special addition” before plump Tiger Prawns decorated in Cashews and fresh Bird’s Eye Chilis.

Fast paced and intellectually engaging, a woodsy Broth poured in preparation for Dessert, Palm Sago and Coconut explore diverse textures before a grand finale of Fruit, warm Cakes and Tea or Coffee alongside a formidable Petite Four cart.

Brioche from Heaven, Bangkok TH

Brioche from Heaven

Cinnamon Roll

Almond Croissant

Known for an appearance on Iron Chef Thailand Thanunya “Gai” Wilkinson opened Brioche from Heaven to immediate acclaim, the brick-walled space decidedly different from surrounding market stalls with service that is cold and rushed much like those of Paris.

Frequented by visiting Europeans and culinary-interested locals, prices less than France but certainly more than average for Bangkok, guests are greeted by the smell of Butter and Yeast plus a dozen or more creations produced from a wood burning oven.

Using imported Butter from Normandy to build her base, a soft Dough with good elasticity, Chef Gai tops each Bun with a variety of toppings ranging from Spinach to Nutella, or simple Cinnamon-Sugar as is the case with her Cinnamon Roll.

Sold out of Yuzu Meringue, an Almond Croissant filling in poorly thanks to cloying Frangipane and lackluster lamination, suffice it to say the eponymous Brioche from Heaven is worth the effort, cost and calories thanks to the buttery cloud beneath an abundance of Pecans and sticky-sweet Caramel.

Bangkok Bold at Central Embassy, Bangkok TH

Bangkok Bold

Thai Iced Coffee

Stir fry rice noodles with sliced pork

Caramelized coconut and peanut fresh spring rolls, cucumber relish

Crab meat and salted duck egg in coconut cream

Shrimp paste and toasted coconut fried rice with shrimp

Housemade steamed bread with corn custard and coconut

Young rice in warm coconut cream with coconut ice cream

Founded by Chef Nhoi Ouypornchaisakul Bangkok Bold was originally named after a group of people with their own unique style of Thai cooking, the subsequent launch of one Restaurant and then another at Central Embassy Shopping Center giving locals and tourists access to unique dishes rarely seen elsewhere.

Also known as “Joh Bangkok” before debuting Bangkok Bold Cooking Studio in Old Town, a series of travels and training abroad yielding fresh ideas, Chef Nhoi’s Food thinks forward without abandoning traditional ideas as in the case of simple Rice Noodles stir-fried with sliced Pork.

Broad in its size and scope, the Restaurant itself adjacent a multi-cultural Food Court, it is at Michelin Bib Gourmand prices that vegetarian Spring Rolls dazzle in terms of taste and texture before delving into Fried Rice fortified by the flavors of Coconut Shrimp with a bit of heat.

Focused on the idea of “basic and bold,” a beautiful balance achieved by sizzling Crab Meat with salted Duck Eggs and Coconut Custard, Desserts are playful with Asian sensibility whether one selects steamed Bread to sop up Corn Custard or the juxtaposing temperatures of toothsome Rice in warm Custard around Ice Cream.
