Insects In The Backyard - Bang Bamru

Tried the tasting menu and had such a great dining experience here. I must say that the service was amazing, TOP NOTCH. This is most definitely a good way to introduce yourself to eating insects. The chef thought of creative ways to integrate flavours and our waiter even gave me a glass of complimentary sangria to go with the meal. Give this place a try!!

We had a unique dining experience at Insects in the Backyard and I highly recommend it! The food was delicious, both with and without insects. I especially liked the ant caviar mojito. The restaurant is located in the beautiful Chang Chui Creative Park, where you can explore boutique shops before or after your meal.

Omg! I'm so glad I dragged the whole family here for this awesome meal in this amazing restaurant. Insects in the Backyard serves sustainable, edible insects in a fine dining concept. But don't let the term fine dining deter you as prices are very very reasonable. My younger son and I were looking forward to the meal as we're not squeamish about such foods and have munched down scorpion and meal worms before. What we wanted to experience was insects as the alternative protein source in meals, and how it can draw the uninitiated to accept eating insects. Glad to have convinced and converted my elder son. My wife was a different ballgame altogether. Who knew crickets would taste so good and as a source of protein for the pasta? Or silk worms would pair so well with the spicy spaghetti. Or that ants and ant caviar would go so well with pan fried sea bass. The scallop with ant caviar also paired so well. We finished off the dinner with rich, warm brownie topped with crickets, walnuts, vanilla and dark chocolate ice-cream, and crepe suzette with vanilla ice cream and peaches and big juicy silk worms. Mmmmm. We also enjoyed the service as the staff was attentive, yet not intrusive. The decor is also somewhat quirky and lends to the occasion. Dine and enjoy the experience and food and keep this business going. More people should be aware of this awesome restaurant and delicious food, insects or not. OK. They have a normal menu, which they've labelled the Present. And the alternative menu where they've swapped the protein source with insects or added insects to enhance the flavour and experience is called the Future.

The flavors are excellent at this restaurant. Don't worry, they also offer dishes without insects if that's not your preference. However, I highly recommend trying their insect menu. The crispy crickets and giant water beetles are a must-try. They also have a taster menu option where you can sample all the items on the insect menu.

Some restaurants offer insects as a novelty dish, not meant for actual consumption but rather as a dare for friends. However, that is not the case at this establishment. The chef has skillfully transformed unconventional ingredients into delicious dishes. I tried the green goddess salad with white crickets, where the nutty and crunchy insects complemented the texture of cashews and peanuts, all coated in a tasty vinaigrette. Stop by for a truly unique and flavorful dining experience with some interesting insect dishes!
