This morning I wake up with a craving for condoms.
So I go to a condom restaurant and have my fill.
Only in Bangkok!
“Our food is guaranteed not to cause pregnancy.” That’s good to know!
Condom Man and Tiger Woods
Santa Condom, Condom Boy and Condom Mom
No, this is not just some pervert’s restaurant business. Cabbages & Condoms is actually conceptualized by the Population and Community Development Association (PDA) of Thailand to promote better understanding and acceptance of family planning and to generate income to support various development activities of the organization. PDA builds schools around the country, too. Check out the board on Condom Mom’s right.
Look at what she’s holding. Durex. No wonder the smile.
Sadly, the food at Cabbages & Condoms is not as grand as its mission.
Rice crackers – the best tasting item of the meal
Tom yam gung – I cannot pinpoint what, but this is lacking something. Actually, a lot of things. The shrimps are dry and rubbery, too.
Deep fried soft shell crab cooked in thick curry paste – fail!
Roasted young mountain chicken bathed in wild honey – the chicken is tasteless
without the sauces
Pad thai gung sod – nice presentation is all
Fresh coconut – my favorite Bangkok drink
Free condoms as you exit. What’s your size?
It’s fun to look around and it is for a good cause, but other than that, there is really nothing special about the food at C&C.
In fact, the vendors outside the restaurant serve better tasting food.
Grilled meat vendor
Chicken quarters, pork barbeque, gizzards, whole fish, pig ears, etc, etc
Drinks vendor
Sweetened condensed milk + green tea powder + hot water + evaporated milk
Ta-da!!! My delicious iced milk green tea!
