Be Fed And Be Sheathed At Bangkok's Cabbages And Condoms Analysis
“Be Fed And Be Sheathed” at Bangkok’s Cabbages and Condoms
By Debra Feinberg
You’ve made it to Bangkok, you’ve seen the sites, and now you’re dying to sit down for a meal. Despite all the great things you’ve been told about Bangkok’s street food, you’ve seen the flies swarming around the food stalls and you can’t stand to watch the barehanded handling of the food, especially after the vendor sneezed into his hands and continued serving with out pause!
Though intrigued by the cuisine, the street food does not meet your sanitation requirements and you’re compelled to err on the side of caution, so why not head to Cabbages and Condoms, a restaurant that is also a firm believer in ‘better safe than sorry?’ Only, they aren’t just talking about …show more content…
A Cause To Protect
A project of the Population and Community Development Association (PDA), a sex education and AIDS prevention non-profit, Cabbages and Condoms is decorated with condoms for a cause, and your meal at this quirky, condom covered, establishment goes towards helping a worthy initiative.
PDA - which also happens to be the fitting acronym for Public Display of Affection – uses the proceeds from Cabbages and Condoms to run outreach programs such as "Condom Nights" and "Miss Anti-AIDS Beauty Pageants" in Bangkok's most popular sex districts, providing free condoms and sex education to Thailand’s most at risk groups – prostitutes.
Their motto? Be fed and be sheathed!" And that goes for everyone, with out discrimination, you included!
Bangkok is notorious for it’s food and its sex trade, so why not educate yourself on both? A visit to Cabbages and Condoms allows you to enjoy Bangkok in a socially responsible way, while also gaining awareness of a serious problem in a humorous and entertaining …show more content…
The décor is both hilarious and conversation provoking, so if you are someone who keeps your clothes buttoned up tight and is easily offended, this may not be the place for you. On the other hand, if Salt and Pepa’s 90’s chart topper, Let’s Talk About Sex, puts a smile on your face, the restaurant’s condom covered lanterns and condom lined tables will be sure to please.
Put It In Your Mouth
Cabbages and Condoms is better known for its eccentricity than its food, but that’s not to say the food doesn’t hold its own. With a menu that will delight vegetarians and meat lovers alike, there is something for everyone, even the sweet tooth wanting dessert.
While most everything at the restaurant is tongue in cheek, for those who enjoy curry, the Gang Kua Gung Supparot, shrimp red curry with pineapple - 270 TB (approx. 8 USD) - will leave you licking your lips.
