Its signature dish is fish porridge, made with a light broth and whole rice grains. Guests can choose toppings such as grouper, pomfret, perch, shrimp, or squid. Each dish ranges from 100 to 500 baht ($3 to $15). The restaurant is open from 4:30 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Also located on Banthat Thong is Thai Dong Kha, a restaurant specializing in seafood. Salmon, shrimp, crab, abalone, and octopus are marinated in a signature sauce. The restaurant also serves pickled vegetables and mixed rice dishes.
Although Thai Dong Kha is a small venue, it's always bustling with customers. Diners choose their dishes at the counter, with small, medium, and large portions available. Prices for seafood dishes range from 100 to 700 baht ($3 to $21). The restaurant is open from noon to midnight.
For lunch on the second day, visitors can experience the Michelin Food Tour by Bus, which combines dining with sightseeing around Bangkok. The tour offers four trips daily, each with a different menu. The lunch tour runs from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and costs 1,890 baht ($56). The bus departs from River City Mall and passes by 20 of Bangkok's most iconic landmarks.
While onboard, guests are served a meal consisting of two appetizers, three main courses, one dessert, a welcome drink, and tea. The menu features traditional Thai dishes such as mango sticky rice, pad Thai, and curry soup, with some selections from Michelin-starred restaurants in Bangkok.
After lunch, visitors can return to Song Wat to explore the historic streets and visit long-standing shops like Gu Long Bao, a family-run baozi shop established by Teochew descendants nearly 100 years ago.
The shop still uses traditional methods to make fresh bao, which are steamed and served straight from the counter. Diners can watch the making process from outside the shop.
In the evening, visitors seeking Thai cuisine in a private setting can dine at Ega Bangkok, a small restaurant housed in a century-old building in Song Wat. The restaurant seats fewer than 50 people, and its menu features dishes from all three regions of Thailand, with prices ranging from 90 to 600 baht ($2.70 to $18) per dish.
