This condom-themed restaurant is best known for all their decorations with condoms, their own way to promote safe sex. But we were not here solely for this unique decor. We were here because of its location in the heart of the Asok massage district.
After a nice and relaxed morning of thai massage at the neighbouring "King and I", four of us woke up re-energetized. Following a 50 metre walk out of the massage parlour, we found the Cabbages and Condoms hidding behind the bushes.
As per advertised, we saw all sorts of furniture and displays decorated in condoms. Firstly, some ladyswear and menswear with colorful condoms at the entrance area.
After we were seated, there were more interesting decorations to come in the dining room including plants and table clothes labeled with the condom theme.
The Tom Yum Gung is a must-try here. For anyone not familiar with this famous Thai soup, it was a spicy shrimp soup with chilli, lime, lemongrass and galanga. This was not bad.
Chicken and pork satay, we saw them everywhere in Bangkok especially from the street vendors. Unlike most satays we had elsewhere, these did not have any signs of being chargrilled but nevertheless they were fairly good.
Things began to fall apart from here. Our Yum Ben Ja Rong or Thai style assorted vegetables, chicken and shrimp salad with spicy and sour dressing was really a subpar effort.
The pan-grilled chicken fillet with lemongrass and herbs was slightly better but still did not receive a passing grade from the grand jury.
Our only dessert, banana fritter with honey and vanilla ice cream on the side, turned out to be a good choice among a wide selection of dessert.
The condom theme got our cameras rolling during the start of our meal. But apart from this major selling point, the restaurant did not offer enough attractive substance to make our visit worthawhile.
