A new brunch spot in Bend offers unique food with artistic flair. Sen Thai Hot Pot and Noodle House on NW Newport Avenue is serving brunch Saturdays and Sundays from 9am-2pm starting Saturday, Dec. 13. Asian-inspired dishes include satay & egg, which is beef steak, peanut sauce, pickled carrot and daikon radish. The Thai curry baked egg is submerged in a rich red curry sauce. The fried chicken Benedict is topped with poached eggs and a creamy Sriracha hollandaise sauce. It comes in a vegetarian version, subbing out the chicken for mixed mushrooms. Other menu items include spareribs mushroom Jook, chicken banh mi burger and tea salad.
On the sweeter side, the Thai tea short stacks are buttermilk pancakes layered with Thai-tea drizzle, caramelized almond and fresh fruit. The Ube peanut French toast is stuffed with an ube peanut filling and topped with orange slices and berries. The flavors are an unexpected combination with the perfect level of sweetness.
Thai inspired beverages include Thai iced coffee which is creamy and comes with a decorative bear-shaped coffee ice cube that melts into the beverage ensuring it remains tasty to the last sip. The Thai iced tea also comes with whipped cream and an icy bear. Alcoholic beverages include the Shezen Shiso mimosa, which is a mix of sparkling wine and shiso-infused sake, sriracha Bloody Mary and Morning in Bangkok which is an espresso martini, vodka, coconut milk and Thai coffee or tea. The Thai Fighter is house-infused lemongrass Thai chili tequila, lime leaf syrup and lemon.
Food prices range from $20 to $25. Brunch hours will overlap with the lunch menu which starts at noon on weekends. The Source readers named Sen Thai as “Best New Restaurant” in 2021. It’s known for hot pots which come with a variety of proteins and vegetables cooked in broth at the table.
