Bangkok has remarkable notoriety for being an adventurous place where you can set yourself out to eat an enormous roach or a grasshopper from sold in the streets. In spite of the fact that this is the stuff that extraordinary Instagram shots are made of, it's not commonly perceived as a genuine culinary choice. Insects In The Backyard is one Bangkok eatery that is attempting to change this notion by being the first fine dining restaurant to serve edible bug in Thailand. They are not kidding about lifting the status of "frightening little creature" cooking and acquainting it with the majority as a suitable option in contrast to conventional sources of protein.

It is their passionate goal to represent “insect cuisine” as a possible option for a protein source. They handle issues identified with globalization, overpopulation and environmental change by working straightforwardly with ranchers to reap bugs in a practical and clean way. You can jump heedlessly into indulgence with Giant Water Beetle and Crab Ravioli, Potato Espuma with Smokey Bacon Flavored Bamboo Caterpillars, Tiramisu with Silkworm Powder or simply settle for a Daiquiri with Red Ants.
