Staying true to its positioning as a health-centric retreat in the heart of Bangkok, Mövenpick BDMS Wellness Resort Bangkok is offering a healthy menu delivered to your door. Their Healthy Eating Collection menu is a selection of 12 comfort food dishes and a collection of craft juices that have been created in collaboration with medical experts and dieticians at BDMS Wellness Clinic.
Each item arrives neatly packed and labeled, giving details for those who have food allergies, are calorie-conscious or look for certain health benefits. For example, the Lemongrass, basil & mint chicken breast (B300) is dairy-and-gluten free, contains 360-380kcal and is purported to benefit your heart and bone. The lean chicken is evenly cooked and dressed in a sauce made of the three herbs for added fragrance and flavour. The roasted cherry tomatoes on the side bursts with sweet and sour juice.
For something both hearty and healthy, consider the Vegetable lasagne (B290), which contains layers of courgette (zucchini), meaty mushrooms and bell peppers that almost melt in your mouth. The other Italian-ish main in the menu is Baked salmon with vegetable spaghetti (B320). "-ish" because al dente pasta has been substituted with crunchy long strains of courgette and carrot. Rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, salmon come in three sizeable chunks to give you satisfying chews and they are complemented by herb coulis which reminds me of pesto.
Two of the most famous Thai curries have been rendered healthier. Almost-melt-in-your-mouth Sweet potato in Chicken massaman curry (B300) gives you a lot of beta carotene that your body can convert into vitamin A, which is good for your immune system. The more you know. It also soaks up a lot of flavour from the aromatic curry as does roll chicken. BDMS's take on the green curry (B290) feels a bit lighter in consistency, thanks to almond milk, but tastes rather flavourful and aromatic nonetheless. Both of them are served with fluffy steamed rice berry.
Vegan-friendly Almond milk panna cotta (B220) can deliver a sweet and creamy end to a meal even without dairy.
Healthy Eating Collection is available for delivery daily from 9 am-7pm (last order 6pm). The delivery fee is waived if your address is within 3km of the hotel. Visit bit.ly/3rp9J5k.
