I've never tried their more savory breakfast dishes. Food at Chu is indeed hit and miss. The pulled pork burger is a good deal if you use eatigo to your advantage.

The nearest to a traditional English, has a decent sausage, bacon, ham, mushrooms, beans, tomatoes, fried egg and chips for 165 baht. Good coffee and other food too. Plus beer! Really? Maybe Craft's breakfast has improved then in the 3-4 months since I last visited there. The sausage was a hotdog style, there was only a tiny spec of bacon and ham, the mushrooms were disgusting and the chips added up to maybe 5 or 6. A couple of times I got cold, hard beans, if I got them at all. At couple of times two of the items in the breakfast were not available and they didn't tell me beforehand. Even worse, many times I've walked by and the place was closed on different days of the week. I hope they have improved since these spectacular failures.

While I do agree about the mushrrooms, the sausage is now British style and"herby" and the rest is good for 165 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramen087 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Bourbon Street on Ekkamai does a very nice breakfast, and they open at 7 AM for you early risers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coops Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) Emmie's off Rama IX down soi 49 is an option, open from 8am - it's opposite 'A ramen' which is open 24hrs a day (!). All day food - the breakfast side looks good - had some lunch there and good coffee. Their 'website' is only facebook p1sh unfortunately and not a proper website... https://www.facebook.com/Emmiesbkk/ for any cyclist out there:- After cycling around Nong Bon lake then Baan Chang is great - ( for the 'american' breakfast you'll probably want to specify your bacon as crispy unless you like the underdone style...) https://goo.gl/maps/iy2Rr7Qq6W32 or from the Skylane, once it reopens, Bike Terminal is very good food/breakfast/beer and a bike shoppe https://goo.gl/maps/4XGdCLpyd8q Edited June 8, 2017 by coops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Re Chu, I like their deserts and their brownies, etc., and their pancakes are OK. But over many years, I've tried other of their main dish entrees, including the pulled pork sandwich, and usually come away disappointed. And for some reason with their breakfasts, they have a bad habit of turning out toast that you could use to build houses with, or break a tooth on....

neupaneaj Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 have lived here for 8 years and haven't found any like Denny's or Waffle House - no frills breakfast joints if you dole out 500 bhat or more you can pig out at any of the hotel breakfast buffets they have so many damn items I am sure everyone will find something to their liking but that's not what I am after budget wise :o] The Coffee Club chain comes closest - but still a bit pricey and wish they served hash browns, muffins, and a few more American items Paul in central embassy mall is decent - but again pricey!! heard though that Waffle House was opening soon in bkk somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbi1 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Swensens - the perfect place for brekky for those weight conscious peeps who want to lose weight like myself. Ever since the article on this forum about the dude who only ate ice cream for a few months and lost weight, I've decided this is my "go to" place to lose some weight to highlight my beautiful 6-pack.

I would think the perfect breakfast for one who needs to lose weight is nothing. Walk from home to the restaurant have a coffee and walk home. That being said when I lived in Brazil I would sometimes have R$5 of ice cream for supper, and nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morch Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I'll second Bei Otto's as a decent option. One of my favorites is Creps & Co. (more often the Langsuan or Siam World branches, though there's another at Thonglor). Apart from the obvious, very good salads, and some decent sized breakfast sets. Service is usually good and friendly, which I value even more at morning time. Coffee, while not great, is alright. Not really open at breakfast hours, I think, but worked out fine when starting the day late - No Idea on Suk 22. Not cheap as well but delivers. Then there's the dosa/idli route, which can set me up for a long day. Several option around Suk, but that's an altogether other topic. Probably back in town in a couple of weeks, so cheers for recommendations - always happy to try new places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt, with that location, cheap wont be part of the description. IHOP is not really that cheap anymore in the US. The last time I ate at one in the states, not far from LAX, it was $12 for the large pancake, eggs and bacon plate...no sign of the bottomless coffee pot of times gone by.

Once those additional items become available at the future 4th floor Paragon full restaurant version of IHOP, then I'll have an opinion on IHOP as it relates to this thread.

Actually, the IHOP prices at Siam Paragon are very reasonable for BKK. I had both a fancy order of strawberry-banana pancakes as one order and a mushroom and spinach omelette as a separate order, and both were under 200 baht a piece -- although both were ala carte, no side dishes included. Meanwhile, I don't drink coffee at IHOPs when I'm back in the States, so I can't speak to that specifically, although they certainly do as many hot tea refills as you like. But as it turns out, the IHOP at Siam Paragon does have IHOP's bottomless coffee pot on their menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
