In the heart of Carnegie’s culinary scene lies BKK Laboratory, a captivating cafe challenging conventional notions of meatballs and desserts. Owned by Nopparluk Pratyasanti and her husband Pai Ruangrit, hailing from Thailand with extensive experience in Melbourne’s hospitality industry, BKK Lab emerged in 2022 with a mission to redefine Thai cuisine.
At BKK Lab, traditional boundaries blur, offering a diverse menu featuring not only the expected curries and noodles but also inventive dishes like the wagyu meatball sub. Crafted from a blend of minced meat infused with massaman curry flavors—cumin, coriander, lemongrass, coconut, and chili—the meatballs are braised in a spiced gravy, delivering a fusion of Italian base and Asian flair, reminiscent of a culinary journey with nonna to Ko Pha Ngan. Nestled in a soft potato roll and adorned with finely grated parmesan, these meatballs promise a savory delight.
Beyond the innovative meatball sub, BKK Lab presents a range of tantalizing options. A twist on the Aussie brunch staple, chili scrambled eggs, substitutes sourdough for roti, garnished with shallots and chili jam. Japanese-inspired souffle pancakes, now a sensation in Thailand and Australia, are served with traditional Thai dessert components like pandan sauce and coconut ice cream, with a special durian and sticky rice pancake for winter.
For those seeking comfort, the slow-cooked rice porridge offers solace, delicately ginger-infused and accompanied by soft-poached egg and optional five-spice-roasted pork belly with crackling. And for the quintessential Melbourne experience, BKK Lab serves up avocado smash, smoothie bowls, and the classic flat white.
But perhaps the most intriguing offering is the Thai milk tea tiramisu. Harnessing the robust flavors of Thai milk tea—brewed strong and sweetened with condensed milk—the dessert is elevated with a creamy topping of whipped cream cheese and cream, balanced delicately on a ladyfinger biscuit. A harmonious blend of tannin sweetness and lactic tang, this indulgent treat offers a unique pick-me-up experience.
At BKK Laboratory, culinary boundaries are pushed, offering a tantalizing fusion of Thai flavors with global classics, promising a dining experience that transcends expectations.
