Wat Mongkolratanaram • Berkeley Thai Temple Brunch Market
Had an incredible experience at the bustling temple morning market today! This Thai temple in Berkeley offers a brunch from 10am-1pm every Sunday. Unlike other food courts, you don't need to spend a lot to enjoy specialty Thai meals here [Shy]!
Process: Once you enter the temple, exchange cash for tokens, then go to various food stalls according to your taste and queue for meals! If you don't spend all your tokens, you can exchange them back to cash when you leave!
My dining experience ($23 tokens):
*Picture 7, $10, Thai style deep-fried sweets. The little white balls are with coconut flavor, the fried cakes are yam flavor. Moderately sweet, and even though it's fried, it's not oily!
*Picture 8, $11, wide noodles beef soup. Cooked on site, also has the option for thin noodles. The soup is hearty and the meat is plentiful; but the downside is, the soup's a bit salty!
*Picture 9, $2, Thai iced tea. Both coffee and Thai iced tea are $2, bottled water is $1. Can't complain for that price – just enjoy your drink [LOL]!
Summary: The cost is around $20-$25 per person. After the meal, you can also visit the temple for worship. The crossover of food and culture is worth the experience!
