Plantiful Bangkok: A Vegan Haven in Sukhumvit

If you are a vegetarian, or even a vegan, in Bangkok, Thailand, it is actually rather easy to find food options. There are more options, in my experience, in Bangkok, for me as a vegetarian, than in Singapore.

I came across Plantiful before. It is located at Sukhumvit Soi 61. Somewhere in-between Thong Lor and Ekkamai BTS. It is not near the BTS stations though. Recently, Plentiful opened an outlet on the 1st level of Gaysorn Amarin. Gaysorn Amarin is an upscale shopping mall located next to Chidlom BTS Station. It is literally the first shopping mall when you come out of the station. There is a link bridge to the shopping mall from the BTS station.

From the first level, from the inside of Gaysorn Amarin, Plantiful is located right at the corner. It can be obstructed by that huge pillar. It is located next to Mickey’s.

This is how Plantiful looks from the front. Its front is along side of Gaysorn Amarin. This is how you will see Plantiful from the outside of Gaysorn Amarin. And of course, there is alfresco dining.

The inside of Plantiful is very minimalistic and welcoming.

Vegan cakes anyone?

There are limited indoor seats. If you come here during meal times, you may need to wait for a seat.

The superfood smoothies are what I was here for. Oh and I visited Plantiful for four days in a row. To try as many of their smoothies and food options.

Here is their menu.

I did not try any of their desserts. Maybe the next time I am in Bangkok I will try the miso tofu cheesecake. Sounds adventurous enough for me.

I think my best meal was the Mushroom Tempeh Krapow. The next time I order this I will ask them to taper down the spice a few notches. It was too spicy but the mushroom tempeh was excellent.

This is the PB & Choc Protein Smoothie. This was my favourite of all the smoothies that I tried. Although all of them were good.

The Lentil Ragu Bolognese was very good. My daughter could not tell that there was no meat in this dish.

I always start my adventure with a burger. This Three Shrooms Burger was excellent. The meat was made from mushrooms. While you could definitely tell that it was not a patty, the mushrooms were very flavourful and the burger sauce had this distinctive tangy taste. The sweet potato chips were very good as well.

Anything with cauliflower and tofu is good. Please remember this and order the Califlower and Tofu Burrito. The star was the avocado cilantro sauce.

Next up, Just Berries smoothie. My least favourite of all that I tried. Although still decently good. Too sweet for my liking. But then nothing beats peanut butter…

Sweet Potato Nachos are very good. Super refreshing.

My second favourite was the Blueberry Bomb smoothie. But then I love blueberries!

I know… Advocado Toast is so boring. But on that day I just did not know what to order. This is like the de-facto vegan cafe order.

Ok Cosmic Coco smoothie was a random pick. Pineapples in smoothies are not exactly the best choice but this was ok. I did not know what to order and I was going down the list.

I saved the best for last. On the day I was to depart Bangkok, I decided to try the Mushroom Tempeh Krapow. This was excellent. If you could only try one dish, please try this. This is why I like the Thais’ take on food. They can always put the appropriate spin on their dishes to make it uniquely Thai.
