If you’re looking for a trendy, exotic getaway, look no further than Bangkok Gardens. Walking into the restaurant, you’ll immediately transform into Blair Waldorf, Gossip Girl queen bee of the Upper East Side. Well, this doesn’t actually happen. But Bangkok Gardens is still an uber-trendy Thai restaurant. And with the red veils draped from the ceiling, you can kind of forget that you are in Mid-Missouri for a little while. Try the No. 14, Saam Ka-Sat (stir-fried pineapple and vegetables with oyster sauce), for $11.50 with a spiciness level of 4 on a scale of 1-5. If you’re really feeling a challenge, add a little Sriracha hot sauce for that extra kick.
