The Japanese are coming and they are bringing their quirky sake bars and eccentric eateries with them. The latest is Krahom, a small noodle bar in BKK I that specialises in beetroot. The menu is short, with only three dishes: soup, fried noodles and fried rice. The house specialty is red egg noodle made with beetroot juice. The seafood version ($3.50) comes topped with eggs and vegetables and accompanied with a side dish of sweet, hot chilli sauce. Beet flavour is undetectable. The dishes are not huge, but they are healthy. According to the menu, beetroot promotes many health benefits such as reduced risk of stroke, lower blood pressure and lower cholesterol levels. The internet lists even more – wink, wink.
Krahom Noodle Bar, #204 Street 322.
