Thailand’s first INNSiDE by Meliá hotel is putting a fresh twist on one of the day’s most beloved meals with the launch of “Brunch Your Way”, a new experience encouraging diners to mix and match savoury and sweet treats with creative beverages atop Bangkok.
The new menu, available between 11 am and 2 pm every Saturday and Sunday at The Kites Eatery on the 31st floor, is inspired by the hotel’s “work meets play” philosophy and caters to everything from casual business meetings and weekend catchups to solo dining sessions fuelled by good coffee and accompanied by panoramic skyline views.
Highlights include the INNSiDE All Day Breakfast, featuring two eggs cooked to your liking, chicken sausage, smoked ham, bacon and potatoes, and the INNSiDE Egg Benedict, comprised of poached eggs, serrano ham, smoked salmon and Asian hollandaise sauce on an English muffin. Smashed avocado on sourdough, topped with tomato salsa, cherry tomato, pumpkin seeds and a poached egg, is set to be another brunch favourite.
The prawn and crab bao with dill mayo and Japanese cucumber is apt for seafood lovers. Heartier appetites are catered to with a grilled Australian ribeye beef sandwich layered with onion jam, blue cheese and sautéed mushrooms, finished with a fried egg and olive oil, and the slow-cooked Kojibuta pork belly served with honey mustard sauce and garlic mashed potatoes.
For those with a sweet tooth, fluffy pancake stacks served with mixed berries and maple syrup sit alongside classic French toast topped with banana, Chantilly cream, maple syrup and icing sugar.
Meals are paired with freshly pressed ginger, fresh orange juice or chilled young coconut. Signature drinks include “Spice & Shine”, a shaken orange Americano infused with cinnamon and rosemary, “Espresso Spritz” with Espresso and virgin sangria, and “Matcha Colada” with Yabukita matcha, whipped foam and coconut. The house-made cold brew is made from 100 percent Arabica Catuai beans.
The Kites Eatery commands the hotel’s 31st floor and is open from 6.30 am-11 pm. It is adorned with abstract artwork of kites – a reference to the popular pastime of kite flying in the state park Sanum Luang. Tapping local roots with fresh, colourful Thai cuisine, the restaurant’s chefs serve up central, northern, north-eastern and southern Thai cuisine à la minute using quality ingredients sourced from local farms.
It offers a healthy buffet breakfast and an à la carte menu from noon, as well as customised lunches and banquets for meetings and events.
