A THAI hipster has opened a cafe in Bangkok selling authentic British ‘street food’, it has emerged.

Former website designer Dang Ubonchinda is introducing Thai foodies to dishes including chips in a tray with kebab meat, chips in a pitta bread and saveloys floating in some sort of fluid.

Ubonchinda said: “Most people don’t realise Britain’s got this amazing, vibrant street food culture full of bold, gutsy dishes like chicken and mushroom pie.

“I make sure everything is cooked exactly as it would be in Britain. We don’t just fry our chips and serve them, we keep them in a heated cabinet for at least four hours to make sure they’re good and dry. My customers love anything ‘authentic’, so I source all our chicken burgers from the same freezer warehouse in Crewe. And when you order a pickled egg you can rest assured that none of our staff has a clue what the sell-by date is.”

1. Hipster hatred

Is simply hatred ...

2. This is more "British takeaway food hatred"

If we're being honest, a lot of the hipster pisstakes are made by people who know full well that they would be hipsters if they were still in their early 20's.

5. Deep fried Mars bars?

Curry with chips?

Irn-Bru?

I admit a bit of Scottish bias.

6. As someone who lives in Thailand,

not in Bangkok, but in the north, I find this quite hilarious. Lots of good street food here, but I'm not particularly a fan of British food to begin with. When I eat non-Asian here I want it to be French or Italian.

8. So no chips and mushy peas?

I love chips with mushy peas. 'Slodion a phys slwts ("chips with mushy peas" in Welsh)

9. When I go to a rugby match

It's always pie & peas for me. Mint sauce on the mushy peas, Henderson's Relish on the pie.
