Nueng Nom Nua (Banthat Thong) — Restaurant in Wang Mai Subdistrict

My visit to this restaurant was unfortunately a mixed experience, and I feel it's important to share a detailed account for other travelers. While the location itself is convenient, there were several key factors that prevented me from having a positive dining experience. First and foremost, a crucial piece of information for any visitor is their cash-only payment policy. This can be a major inconvenience, especially for international tourists who might not carry local currency. I had to scramble to find an ATM nearby, which was a frustrating start to the meal. Additionally, finding parking is a definite challenge. Like many places on this busy street, there are no designated spots for either cars or motorcycles, requiring a search for street parking that may not be available. The interior ambiance also left a lot to be desired. It felt very basic and lacked any distinct character, with minimal decor that made the space feel more functional than welcoming. But the biggest disappointment was the food itself. The toast was quite underwhelming; it was just average and lacked the crispy exterior and fluffy interior you'd expect. However, what truly ruined the dish was the chocolate sauce. Instead of a rich, sweet sauce, it had a sour, tangy taste that was remarkably similar to chocolate yogurt. This unexpected flavor completely overpowered the meal and made it an unpleasant surprise. Given these issues, it's not a place I...

The MUST go dessert spot in Banthat Thong - you willl definitely be drawn to the gigantic (& cutesy) beckoning street light signage of a boy with a yummy bread aka ~ Nueng Nom Nua ✨😋🍞✨

We had great fun snapping our tourist photos right in front of the road junction & you can see many fellow tourists doing exactly the same antics 📸👫👫👫📸

The ground floor cafe is forever packed when we popped in after past midnight post late dinner so the easiest way to try their milk selection & also castella cakes is to do a quick takeaway dash 🏃🏻🥛🧁🧁🧁😬.

We picked their popular original, matcha, thai tea, chocolate milk (55baht each) & even Chrysanthemum tea (35baht) plus a Thai Tea castella cake (135baht) for our next morning breakfast ✨

Verdict: Their milk drinks are all rich, smootg & flavorful (I had Thai Tea & Matcha flavor). Think original milk flavor will be the best pick. Their Thai Tea castella cakes are soft, spongy & filled with generous dollops of Thai Tea custard (this is definitely a must try for those with sweet tooth) 🍭😜🍭✨

Mental note - Need to do another special trip down to Neung Nom Nua to try to have a sit in the in the popular cafe to try their other delectable in-house dessert...

This spot was a mixed experience🫥 Visited around 10-11 PM for my first visit, hoping for a good late night milk toast treat, but be aware, this place is overcrowded, noisy, and cramped, even late at night.

I tried the medium toast set with three dips, smoked ham on top with cheddar cheese, and their milk. The taste of the dip was overly sweet, and the portions were tiny, far below what you would expect for the price.

Some staff were friendly, others less so, very rude when you ask them nicely, and english communication was inconsistent, though they made an effort to assist. *The milk drinks taste very similar to some supermarket drinks (Horlicks, Ovaltine, White Rabbit Milk, Meiji Strawberry). *Aircon was stuffy and warm. *Waiting time can go beyond 30-40minutes. Overall, this cafe seems geared for photo taking rather than a satisfying snack, and i would not recommend for a return. If you visit, avoid peak hours and dont expect a filling or...
