Grilling meats on the side of the road with an ice cold beer, tucking into freshly steamed crab or cheese baked lobsters with a glass of wine or blanching the meats of your choice over a shared hotpot – take your pick and turn your dinner into something exciting!
Funky Grill
This Funky Grill serves up a large menu of Chinese Mala spiced grilled meats and veg, such as bacon, lamb, chicken, beans, corn and mushrooms, all covered in Chinese spices. The word Mala is a combination of two Chinese words, Ma which means numbing and La which means spicy. The imported Szechuan peppercorns numb your mouth while the Chinese dried chilies set it on fire, leaving you with a tingle sensation that pairs perfectly with an ice cold beer or shot of soju. Although great as a late night snack, Funky Grill is open from 6pm, and often full of people soon after. You can order before you arrive or book a table via Line or phone to save the wait which can sometimes be quite long – it’s just that popular!
Open 6pm – 2am
199/7-8 Huay Kaew Road, At the front of the Funky Bike Rental Shop
