While trolling the internet I found an amazing article that outlined the best japanese places to go for cheap beers in Bangkok. Julianne, Jenna and I decided on Mekiki no Ginji, a Japanese restaurant in K-Village that offers 50 baht beers (that's $1.42 US) for one hour. We decided to wander around in K-Village: an indoor/outdoor kitschy market with tons of amazing up and coming vendors- we're talking lamb kebabs, gourmet grilled cheeses, hotdogs wrapped in waffles-YUP! chocolate brownie bars and pomegranate iced teas for mere pennies. Dinner was delectable and dirt cheap. Now that our tummies were coated, it was time to head to Mekiki no Ginji. We entered and were immediately greeted in Japanese by the entire waitstaff. They ushered us over to our very own private bungalow booth. The specials on offer were highball, asahi and singha for 50 baht. We naively ordered highballs for our first round- our rationale? The online article was about cheap beers in Bangkok so highball must be a beer. We've never heard of said beer so it must be worth a try, especially for 50 baht. In case you were wondering, highball is not a beer, but is in fact a mix of whisky and soda water served up in a pint glass over ice. In case you were wondering, highball is not worth a try. Julianne and Jenna chugged like champs while I himmed and hawed until one of them gave in and finished mine for me. Asahi it was for the rest of the hour!
