Bo.Lan

“Urban rustic Thai food”, “Thai izakaya”, “Thai Tapas”. However you choose to describe Err, know this… It’s the latest labour of love from chefs Bo and Dylan of Bangkok’s Bo.lan (no. 19 in the World’s 50 Best) and a shrine to that most marvellous of things: Thai drinking food.

Duangporn ‘Bo’ Songvisava and Dylan ‘Lan’ Jones came up with the idea when they were “half cut and super hungry”… The kitchen uses “all the same stuff” as Bo.lan, hand- pounding the curry pastes and pressing the coconut cream every day, but the overall vibe is more casual and raw. Dishes like ‘Issan Style Pork Sausage cured with Organic Gaba Rice’ and ‘BBQ Pork Ribs China Town Style’ are made for sharing (“don’t be a loner!”), accompanied by extraordinary cocktails like their ‘GMtini’, made with “Mr Popcorn” Corn Spirit, Lime, Thai basil and Cinnamon. OMFG…
