Bangkok's Best Sunday Roast by Kai New Zealand

Bangkok's Best Sunday roast with Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding

by Kai New Zealand, Bangkok, Thailand

In Bangkok, Thailand, a city renowned for its food, any place claiming to serve "the best" of anything ought to be taken with a grain of salt. However, in the case of Kai New Zealand's famous Sunday roast, it just might be true.

Expats missing a taste of home flock to this trendy restaurant in Bangkok's Sathorn neighborhood on Sunday afternoons to enjoy Kai's legendary "Bangkok's Best Sunday Roast".

I arrived at Kai New Zealand just after noon, which is when the Sunday roast menu becomes available. It was already crowded, and as I didn't have a reservation (which I recommend getting ahead of time), the only available seating was outside on the patio. It was a pleasant day, and the patio was cool and shaded, so I didn't mind at all.

The Sunday roast menu has a few options: roast beef, leg of lamb, pork belly, and chicken (a vegetarian option with a roast vegetable medley is available on the menu as well). 

Every option sounded excellent. Now, I actually don't normally eat beef, but since it's probably the most classic option for a Sunday roast, I decided to order the New Zealand aged striploin roast beef roast dinner. After ordering, you have the option of how you would like your beef prepared.

Just a few minutes later, my meal arrived. A mountain of thick-cut roast beef was served with a delicious horseradish cream sauce and brown gravy, and the plate was piled up with a mixture of roast veggies and an absolutely massive Yorkshire pudding.

Each dish comes with roasted potatoes and pumpkin, roasted carrots, green peas, char-grilled onions, a giant Yorkshire pudding, and gravy.

The meal was incredible! I'll definitely come back to try the other options in the future. It was rich, hearty, and super filling, and everything was roasted to perfection. Now I know why Kai New Zealand can so confidently claim to serve the best in Bangkok.

It should go without saying that, of course, the Sunday roast menu is only available on Sunday starting at noon. If visiting on other days, Kai New Zealand boasts an impressive menu of New Zealand-style classics, including their famous full Kiwi breakfast.
