BANGKOK FOOD HAUNTS

Planning a trip to Bangkok? ST Food has put together a guide on where to eat as you traipse across the Thai capital.

Food writer Yeoh Wee Teck's recommendations include Prelude Restaurant and Bar, helmed by Singapore chef Tan Cong Wen; and Blunos, a restaurant by British celebrity chef Martin Blunos that serves hearty comfort fare such as pulled lamb shoulder.

If you need some respite from the heat, head to Onedee for ice cream versions of various Thai desserts.
