Culinarily homesick for some reason? Doesn’t the plentiful Thai and buffet food cut it any longer? Maybe it’s time for another chippy after our Offshore take:
We’ve been at Oh My Cod! British Café
– and the name suggests it. Oh my god. Authentic stuff. Must be. Not least because the café’s a member of the “British Federation of Fish Fryers.”
That’s the regulatory body for fish & chips shops. Owner Chris Rodgers’ certificate is proudly displayed at this most pleasant of ambiance in a nice garden setting right near the heart of Khao San.
The place is not only a feast for the eyes away from traffic and noise. Start your day with the Hangover Special over at the café before you dive into Cod & Chips for 220 baht the huge plate — or 175 baht if you prefer the excellent red snapper.
Hearty chunks of french fries, a thin and crispy batter and home baked pies, Thai food along with imported British ciders & beers — what could you wish for more.
Definitively worth a visit. And you’ll see Khao San again. A place like another planet, yet surprisingly inviting.
Oh My Cod! Rambuttri Village Inn, Chakrapong Road — Tel. 02 282 65 53
