Mont Nomsod
About
Mont Nomsod has been pouring fresh milk and spreading sangkhaya, the Thai custard, on thick slices of bread for more than 60 years, and its shop on Dinso Road, opposite Bangkok City Hall in the Sao Chingcha quarter, is the one closest to the sights of the Old City. The idea is simple and the menu stays close to it: bread, steamed or toasted, custard in egg or pandan flavor, and a glass of milk, hot or over ice.
It suits an afternoon or evening sweet stop rather than a meal, and it works well for families and for anyone exploring the Old City on foot. The Dinso Road shop opens after lunch and stays open into the evening, so it fits naturally after a day among the temples and museums of Phra Nakhon, where there are few rail stations and most visitors come by taxi or ride-hailing app.
What to order
Start with the bread and custard. The shop steams its bread or toasts it, then serves it with sangkhaya in two versions, a golden egg custard and a green pandan one. The drinks list is built around milk: plain or sweetened, served with ice, red milk, and milk flavored with butterfly pea, Ovaltine, chocolate or green tea, alongside Thai iced tea, coffee and herbal drinks such as lemongrass and roselle.
The bakery counter
The bakery counter sells loaves of milk, whole wheat, sandwich and chocolate marble bread, raisin and butter bread, buns filled with red bean or custard, cakes, yogurts and puddings, and jars of the egg and pandan sangkhaya and house jams to carry back to a hotel room.
How it got its name
According to the shop, the business moved so often in its early years that in 1979 a regular customer suggested giving it a proper name so people could follow it. It became Mont Cafe, after Khun Mont, and at the end of 1980 was renamed Mont Nomsod, which simply means Mont Fresh Milk. The current logo dates from 2004.
Other branches
Bangkok has two more branches, on Rama 1 Road in Pathum Wan and on Itsaraphap Road in Bangkok Noi on the Thonburi side of the river, and there are three branches in Chiang Mai.
