The season of white asparagus returns for Bangkok fine dining outlets, as talented chefs around town are ready to present their most delightful seasonal creations. If you’re a fan of the elegant white vegetable, here’s where you can sample white asparagus menus in Bangkok this May.
Given its brief availability between April to June only, white asparagus is a special treat you should try whenever it’s in season. The vegetable is grown underground; hence preventing it from turning green like its green asparagus counterpart. Therefore, this very mild and delicate ingredient can be turned into several beautiful dishes. Here, we’re on the lookout for the best white asparagus menus in Bangkok.
