Having little ones at home, you’re always creative with your recipes. Now that you’re travelling to Bangkok, you’re worried that you’d have a hard time finding foods that they will love. But what’s great about travelling to this city is that it has become so diverse that you can easily find food that your kids are familiar with and new ones that they would love to try.
From the best pizza in Bangkok to the classic Thai omelette, here are some kid-friendly foods that you can feed your little ones while you’re in the city:
-
Pizza
Let’s face it: when you have kids, pizza is always a no-fail meal solution. Thankfully, you can find delicious pizza in the city, and you can have it delivered to your hotel any time. Royal Pizza serves classic flavours like BBQ chicken, Hawaiian, American pepperoni and double cheese. But you can also try their German sausage and salami, carbonara and munchie pizza. And if you’re too lazy to go out and grab your own meal, they also have delicious burgers, wraps, salads and spaghetti for the adults.
-
Pad Thai
You can’t visit Bangkok without trying the country’s most iconic food, Pad Thai. Now most travel guides will tell you to head to Khaosan Road for some local food. But if you’re travelling with kids, the chaos could easily make them stressed. So here’s a trick: head to Ram Buttri Road just parallel from Khaosan. Here, you can sample many authentic Thai dishes like Pad Thai that you can have cooked to fit your kids’ taste buds. They even let the kids pick out the ingredients to add to their noodles, which makes the experience more fun for the little ones. What’s great about eating in this area is that the staff are very kid-friendly. They offer high chairs for the babies and some games for the older ones.
-
Thai Fried Rice
When all else fails and you need something quick but hearty to sustain your kids for a long day of exploring the city, you can rely on Thai fried rice to do the job for you. This local dish is familiar enough for kids since it’s basically stir-fried rice with veggies, some meat and eggs, just like the ones you would cook back home. And you can ask the restaurant to cook it with a few spices to make it more palatable for your children. You can also find Thai fried rice anywhere in the city—from fancy restaurants to street food stalls.
-
Chicken Satay
Barbeque is another food that most kids can’t say no to, and in Thailand, they have chicken satay. This local food is basically marinated chicken grilled on skewers and served with peanut sauce and rice. While most kids will stick to their favourite fried chicken, having them try chicken satay will not only expand their palate but also help them understand local Thai culture better through food. Just make sure that your little one doesn’t have allergies to peanuts. Now, the chicken satay’s flavours can be quite strong for some kids. In this case, you can opt for the “Gai Pad Med Mamuang” or chicken with cashew nuts, which has a milder flavour profile.
-
Banana Pancakes
You might not know this, but you can actually find some of the most delicious banana pancakes in Bangkok. These are a lot thinner than your typical pancakes, and they’re filled with bananas for that extra savoury taste. And unlike maple syrup, Thai banana pancakes are topped with condensed milk for some extra sweetness.
-
Mango Sticky Rice
Of course, you can’t leave Bangkok without letting your kids try its most famous dessert—mango sticky rice. Sweet, sticky and refreshing, this dessert is kid-friendly because it’s easy to digest and very sweet. It also has mangoes, which makes the dessert more delightful for both adults and kids.
