a pub brunch

For the best high cholesterol breakfast in Bangkok, try the Dubliner Irish Pub beside Emporium. We had their breakfast special (free orange juice or coffee til 12) -- The Fry. True to form, everything on it was fried -- except the baked beans. The Fry comes in 2 forms: the regular-sized one priced at B350, and a slightly smaller version called Mini Fry priced at B200. Although everything was fried, we didn't get that nauseous-dizzy feeling right after you eat bulalo.

Ironically, it was a relatively quiet place, save for the strong cigarette smell that is a sure indication of activity during evenings. Most importantly, the servers could understand and speak English -- no pictionary and charade skills were required of us.
