Baan Varnakovida (Thai: บ้านวรรณโกวิท, RTGS: Ban Wankowit) is a restaurant in Phra Nakhon, Bangkok, Thailand, specializing in pre-war Siamese cuisine.[1][2][3][4] Owned by Apavinee Indaransi, Baan Varnakovida is housed in a Rama VI-era gingerbread house on Tanao Road.[5][6][7] The 2-acre lot was bestowed on Indaransi's grandfather, Luang (หลวง) Krachang Varnakovida, for serving as a royal chancellor to King Rama VI.[8] The restaurant is known for khao chae (Thai: ข้าวแช่), jasmine rice soaked in flower-infused water served with accompaniments.[9][10] Other notable dishes include khao khluk kapi (Thai: ข้าวคลุกกะปิ) and khanom chin sao nam (Thai: ขนมจีนซาวน้ำ).[11][12]
