At Hia Tai Kee, the menu is a delightful mix of traditional Thai breakfast dishes and Thai interpretations of classic Western breakfast items. On my recent visit, I tried some of their renowned offerings, starting with the Kai Kra Ta and a Baguette Sandwich, all washed down with a refreshing iced coffee.


The Kai Kra Ta, a signature dish at Hia Tai Kee, consists of two perfectly fried eggs topped with savory minced meat, all served in a charming metal pan. This intriguing and flavorful dish is accompanied by a crispy baguette on the side. The eggs were cooked to perfection, their richness beautifully complemented by the well-seasoned minced meat. The combination was nothing short of delightful, providing a satisfying start to the day.


Next up was the Baguette Sandwich, another standout item on the menu. The open-faced bread, generously spread with butter and topped with sliced sausages, offered a delightful contrast of textures and flavors. The baguette was delightfully crispy, providing a perfect base for the savory toppings. Each bite was a testament to the skill and care that goes into every dish at Hia Tai Kee.



In a city that constantly evolves, Hia Tai Kee remains a cherished reminder of Bangkok's culinary heritage. Whether you're a long-time fan of traditional Thai breakfasts or a curious newcomer, a visit to Hia Tai Kee promises a memorable experience filled with delicious food and a warm, nostalgic atmosphere.
