Cabbages & Condoms

Frommer's Review

Here's a theme restaurant with a purpose. Opened by local hero Mechai Viravaidya, founder of the Population & Community Development Association, the restaurant helps fund population control, AIDS awareness, and a host of rural development programs. Set in a large compound, the two-story restaurant has air-conditioned indoor dining -- but if you sit on the garden terrace, you're in a fairyland of twinkling lights: quite romantic. Share a whole fish done as you like or try the kai hor bai teoy (fried boneless chicken wrapped in pandan leaves with a dark sweet soy sauce for dipping). There's also a large selection of vegetable and bean curd entrees.

Before you leave, be sure to check out the gift shop's whimsical condom-related merchandise. The restaurant hands out condoms instead of dinner mints.
