Tina’s brings something most brunch places in Bangkok don’t dare touch, Southern soul food. Check their Instagram for band schedules as Sunday brunch is best paired with live blues music. This New Orleans-inspired spot leans into its roots with a kind of bluesy, butter-heavy confidence that’s rare around here. While jambalaya’s origin story is disputed as West African jollof or Spanish paella, Tina’s version is definitive. Short-grain rice, succulent prawns, tender chicken, smokey andouille sausage, fragrant herbs, tomatoes and a medley of spices create a hearty dish that never fails to impress. Complementing this is soulful Louisiana gumbo, served in generous bowls and guaranteed to satisfy. Brunch is served daily from 11.30am-3pm.
