What are your recommended cake shops in BKK?

oh you gotta try butter & rose on ekkamai, their pandan chiffon is super fluffy and not too sweet. also bonjour bakery near thonglor bts does a solid sponge cake that's never dry. they both deliver on grab/lalamove

ngl you should check out the butter cake from the bakery inside the commons on thonglor soi 17. not the big name shops, the little counter near the coffee spot. their butter cake is dense but stays moist for days, and they don't drown it in sugar. also the pandan chiffon from the place next to villa market on sukhumvit 33 is legit, super airy without that weird artificial flavor some places use. both are on lineman so delivery's easy around your area

if you're in thonglor, try the butter cake from the bakery at kuppa on langsuan - they do a delivery run through grab and it's the most consistent butter cake i've found, dense but still tender. for chiffon, shugaa in ekkamai has a passionfruit one that's light as air and actually tastes like fruit, not just sugar. secret recipe's okay but their quality varies by branch, the one at gateway ekamai is usually better than most

Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but I've always found their som tam a bit tame on the pla ra. If you want the real funky version, try the shophouse spots along Soi Udomsuk 26, near the night market end. They pound it fresh with fermented fish that'll clear your sinuses, and it's like 60 baht. Different style from the On Nut places, more Lao-leaning.

for som tam specifically i'd say the Isaan spots in Chatuchak are underrated, weekdays only though since the weekend crowd ruins the vibe. there's a stall near gate 2 that does tam pa with fermented bamboo shoots, super sour and funky, not something you see much in On Nut. if you're already heading north for Or Tor Kor anyway its worth the detour.

honestly the som tam at Krua Dok Mai Kao is good but what got me hooked is their nam prik pla raa dip with the raw veggies, that funk hits way harder than the papaya does. think most people sleep on it cuz they just order the som tam and gai yang. also pro tip, go before noon on weekdays, after that teh pla ra gets milder cuz they batch it for the lunch rush
