Bangkok’s nightlife just got a serious upgrade with the launch of F*nkytown’s latest menu. As the first cocktail bar concept by the Sarnies Group, F*nkytown (pronounced Funkytown) brings an unforgettable journey of flavors rooted in local and seasonal ingredients. The new menu promises to heighten the funkiness and celebrate South East Asian delicacies, ensuring an innovative and sustainable drinking and dining experience.
Crafting the Perfect Cocktail: A Textural Adventure
At F*nkytown, texture is key. The cocktail alchemy here employs various techniques like fat washing, infusion, aeration, and emulsification to create drinks that transcend conventional boundaries. One standout creation is the Durian Colada, a tropical delight that elevates the classic piña colada with Bacardi Carta Blanca rum, jasmine rice essence, coconut, pineapple, and a bold durian float.
For those seeking a unique flavor experience, the Tom Yum Highball is a must-try. This inventive cocktail blends the vibrant essence of traditional Tom Yum soup with Tanqueray 10 gin, elderflower, yuzu brine, coconut, and nam prik pao, a Thai chili jam. The result? A refreshing and nuanced drink that embodies Funkytown’s inventive spirit.
Another notable mention is the Tang Yuan, featuring pistachio-infused rice milk, black sesame, osmanthus-infused shochu, and Horlicks. Inspired by the traditional Chinese dessert, this drink offers a modern twist on a beloved dish, harmonizing nutty richness with nostalgic warmth.
Funky Culinary Innovations
On the food front, F*nkytown’s new menu showcases dishes that highlight their commitment to quality and creativity. The Beef Tartare Cones offer a modern, bite-sized take on the classic French dish, featuring finely chopped Thai wagyu beef tartare stuffed in crispy cones, topped with caviar and smoked egg yolk.
For a rich and sophisticated taste, try the Ox Cheek Crumpet. This dish features slow-cooked ox cheek with tonnato sauce, pickles, and parmesan crumble. Or, for a fun twist on comfort food, the Fried Chicken Claws, paired with Balinese raw sambal and secret chicken dust, are a must-try. Pair them with the Durian Colada for a perfect balance of creamy and spicy flavors.
To satisfy your sweet tooth, don’t miss the Pumpkin Seed Ice Cream with wasabi matcha sponge and pumpkin seed praline, or the indulgent Lava Cheese Tart with comté, grana padano, gruyère, and coffee honey.
Sustainability at the Forefront
F*nkytown’s commitment to sustainability shines through its closed-loop system, which repurposes ingredients to minimize waste. For instance, spent citrus peels are turned into flavorful stocks and cordials. The bar also prioritizes local and seasonal ingredients, celebrating Thailand’s culinary diversity while supporting local producers. Ingredients like the teas from Sawanbondin Tea Farm and honey from Supha Bee Farm highlight their dedication to sustainable practices.
F*nkytown is now open to the public and available for bookings online. Visit through Sarnies カフェ Sukhumvit and follow the stairs to experience this culinary marvel.
