Namsu Bangkok Launches, Namsu Weekend Brunch – “A Taste of Shan” by Chef Honey Rae Zenang
Bangkok’s culinary scene welcomes a distinctive new weekend ritual with the launch of Namsu Weekend Brunch - A Taste of Shan, the city’s only Shan & Sake Bar.
Available every Saturday and Sunday at Namsu located on the 2nd floor of Baan Trok Tua Ngork from 11 AM to 3 PM, this brunch is curated by Chef Honey Rae Zenang, a Shan native, trained Japanese cuisine chef, and sake lover & expert.
Blending tradition with innovation, Chef Honey showcases a rare fusion of Shan, Japanese, and Yunnan influences — a flavour journey that’s hearty and wholesome, yet elegant and refined. Expect surprising and satisfying dishes like Shan Noodles, Japanese–Shan Onsen bowls, and sips such as Sparkling Tea and Poppy Milk.
The menu offers a unique fusion of hearty comfort and elegant refinement. Guests can explore signature dishes like the Shan Noodles with Pork Rib, Spicy Lamb Szechuan Noodles, or the soul-warming Warm Tofu Nway for vegetarians. Noodle lovers can also dive into regional favourites like Kengtung Beef Ball Noodles or the umami-packed Herbal Chicken Garlic Noodles.
For those seeking something a little different, the Japanese–Shan Onsen Bowls deliver layers of flavour — from the Pork Neck Katsu Onsen Bowl to the Mala Squid Onsen Bowl topped with ikura. Add-ons like grilled foie gras or ikura bring a luxe twist. On the side, don’t miss the crispy Pork Crackling, tangy Wat Thar Chin (Sour Pork), or housemade Namsu Dumplings.
To drink, Namsu’s brunch experience gets even more playful with signature tipples like the floral Sparkling Yakult, the indulgent Poppy Milk (with almond foam), and the refreshingly complex Yuzu Chili Kombucha. Tea lovers can choose from a line of sparkling tea blends like PINDAYA (Shan green tea, pink lemon, honey) or NYAUNG CHO (glutinous rice tea with salted honey and calamansi).
For something stronger, explore a curated sake and wine list featuring labels like Niwa no Uguisu Honjozo (Fukuoka) and Petit Ours Red (France) — or keep it casual with craft sodas, Asahi or Kirin beer.
The result is a brunch experience that’s uniquely bold, deeply rooted, and refreshingly modern — a cross-cultural celebration of highland flavours brought to life in the heart of Bangkok.
