In a city that loves to eat from dusk until dawn (and beyond, really), breakfast may not be the most important meal of the day, but it can determine how you go about the rest of your day. Whether you’re Team Black Coffee or Team Moo Ping, here’s what your Bangkok breakfast may say about you.
What do your Bangkok mornings look like? Do you wake up in a hurry and sip on coffee to wake yourself up? Or do you take the time to turn on the stove and whip up an omelette? Do you have a go-to stall where you pick up your skewers? Or do you order congee on GrabFood every new day?
While Thai breakfast dishes may not be as famous as lunch, dinner, and dessert dishes, many of us do carve out the time to eat breakfast every morning. Whether we go for hearty porridges or light yogurt, the meal with which we start our day may well determine how we feel for the rest of it. In fact, we believe it can even determine the kind of person you are.
In our totally unserious round-up, read on to find out what your Bangkok breakfast may say about you — and pick wisely when you rise again tomorrow morning.
