Their bowls are everything you'd want from a clean meal: colourful, filling and full of texture. The Grain Bowl with Moroccan Rice & Chicken is a standout – blackened chicken paired with organic quinoa, roasted eggplant, chickpeas, tomatoes, olives, Greek yogurt and fresh mint. Each bite is a little different, but every one is full of flavour and intention.
Then there’s spicy tuna pesto and cheddar sourdough sandwich, made with naturally fermented sourdough and thoughtfully crafted grains instead of plain rice. The tuna? Fragrant, soft and somehow comforting. The bread has that slight chew of real sourdough, and the whole thing feels wholesome without being heavy.
And just when you think you’re done, you remember: Makai lives here too. Grain has partnered with one of the most trusted names in Bangkok’s acaí game. As an acai enthusiast, I’ve chased bowls across cities, countries and continents – and this one ticks every single box. Real, pure acai imported straight from Brazil – not powder, not syrupy puree. Just the real deal, served cold and topped with fresh fruit, house-made nut butter and all the right textures. Butter My Coconut is my personal pick: creamy acai, rich homemade peanut butter and a hit of tropical cool that tastes like a holiday in a bowl.
