BANGKOK 2.1 - FOOD!!!

On to part two of my Trip~
This is all about food.
Yes food, we wanted to try out all the rave about their cafes there as well.
Not just their local food of course~
Need to be a'lil like the locals and try all the cool cafes and stuff too kekeke~

Greyhound Cafè

Walking into the cafe, the ambience is really laid back and has a hipster feel to it. But has a atas touch to it somewhere you will bring business partners to have a business lunch meeting to. Cos it really isn't noisy and spacious enough to have privacy at your table. The food *omg* is so good. I really loved my pesto pasta, which was mistakenly ordered by our waiter. BUT it is so yummy. So so yummy. We were all too full to order dessert but next time we'll definitely go back for more. A really nice place to check out. Other than having a language problem with the waiter  (Rating:3.5/5)

But! If you have gone and tried their desserts or other yummy food please comment and tell me whats yummy! I'll definitely go back and try it! (:


Next!
On the last day we decided to make it a MUST to go to...

After You Cafe~~~

Which I must say, it was a right choice. A very good choice in fact.
It was like having an orgasm in my mouth. (Sorry for being so descriptive)
The pancake was my absolute fav out of all.. not to sweet not too heavy.. *heart eyes*
The banana crumble was really yummy too and the portion was just nice for one and of course a good sharing size. seeing how we are a party of 4 we had a yummy yummy and filling lunch~
I have a big weak spot for desserts especially pancakes and sweet stuff.  **guilty**

After you cafe has many branches and the one we went to is located at Siam Paragon, there are also other branches located at Central World, Siam Square one, Silom Complex and many more...

Souvenir Corner~
They have really cute little trinkets on sale but they aren't very cheap but still!!! *CUTE!!* 

Baby Shibuya Honey Toast

Baby Nutella Toast 

Banana Crumble

Hazelnut Pancake 

DRINKS!!

Matcha Frappe

Iced Horlick Latte

Earl Grey Squash Jelly

Peppermint Frappe

If you ask me... After You Cafe is a place that i would DEFINITELY go back to.
Like a 100% must go..
I've never had such yummy and fluffy pancakes and that banana crumble (hmmmmm~ so good) the toast was okay not a huge deal.. but it looks really cute and its a popular dish so we decided to try it.
(Overall Rating: 4.5/5)

TIP: After You is really popular, there was a queue when we went there.. but luckily it was short and a table was available almost immediately.. maybe we got lucky.. haha so either look for other outlets or go at a timing when its not lunch time hahaha!

Habitat?

Habitat coffee or a café~
This place has been a real mystery to me.. I've always seen my friends on Instagram taking photos of their #foodporn there... and I must say it looks really... really good.

Especially all those poached eggs and waffles ♡v♡
(I think by now you would have figured out my recent obsession of egg Benedict and ice cream on waffles hahaha) 

So lucky for me. There was a meet up with friends at habitat coffee~ yay** 

And lucky for me again. It was at Thomson Road.. which is really near home so it was super convenient. We got there and got our seats.

The environment?
I must say.. The ambience was not bad~ I really like the theme of the place very... Korean-ish?  Hahaha I don't really know how to explain it.  But... I went on a Sunday night... and it was C.R.O.W.D.E.D. so we were pretty lucky we didn't have to wait for a table for 5, although it was squeezy.

The ordering system is a self service kind? Well you just have to pay before eating. Anyways,  their menu (click on the link to see their menu! ) has all day brunch.. but only for weekends hahaha.(yay for me^^) Brunch ends at 5.30pm on weekdays though so if you wanna eat brunch you might want to take note.

Ps: water is self service...In most cafés water is self service and free flow. So if you want to drink some you gotta help yourself to some. (:

Party of 3 out of 5 ordered:

Something Fishy

Tuna pasta with olives ans spices~
alil tangy and very fishy full 

Blacken Dory

Spicy black pepper pasta, although they say it isn't spicy on the menu,
we all know.. pepper gives one hella of a punch to your taste buds.

Bread was chewy and fragrant.
Savoury and sweet too!

Wholemeal BLT
Bacom Lettuce Tomatoooo~

Ice Cream with Waffles!!!
don't really know what ice cream this is, cos we ordered salted caramel.
But this tasted like coffee. 

Drizzled with chocolate syrup

Lemon-up and Iced Chocolate

Lemon-up: Mix of Iced Lemon Tea, lemonade and 7-up weird taste though.
But worth the try.
Iced Chocolate: Its iced chocolate.. its yummy. cos its chocolate hahaha 

House-made Churros!
love this churros, probably the one of the best that I've eaten.

Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.
It doesn't have that fried taste that make use feel queasy (jelat) after eating too much
*hahaha*and tastes just right.
Sorry for the blur photo the camera just didn't want to focus.

PoTeaTo

Out of ideas on where to go for food?

Check this place out!~

source:google

PoTeaTo

Its a bistro cafe that not only sells food and tea&coffee, they also have beers here too!
Its a great place to chill with friends or have meetings at.
What's good is that they have plugs so that you can charge your laptops there, just like coffee bean and Starbucks.. but at a less crowded and yummier environment. Hahaha

They have different menus at different times of the day.
Like the brunch menu which is only available on Saturdays and Sundays.
Breakfast, lunch, hi-tea and also dinner.

So we went to Poteato during dinner time.
There was a crowd there just like any cafe at a dinner time,
What I like about the place it has a really nice feel to it, although you will need to go to the cashier to order your food.
(Which I feel is not a big issue~ at least you don't have the pressure of waiters or waitress waiting for you to make a decision on what to eat.)
They have columns? or sections? like a wall~, and the seats are nicely placed apart enough privacy to have a conversation with your friend(s) without being overheard.

Rather then the place and environment, of course we will need food *smirk*
Their specialities are the fish and chips, salmon with roast potatoes, sweet potato chips, Louisiana Pork Ribs and Bangers and mash.
So naturally we ordered the two main dishes salmon and pork ribs, a side of potato chips and an iced mocha and a iced lemon tea.

Salmon & Roast Potatoes
Tender salmon that is layered with teriyaki sauce, cooked perfectly, juicy and tender.

 A side of salad dressed with balsamic vinegar and olive oil
 and roasted potatoes that are slighted seasoned with herbs and salt. 

Louisiana Pork Ribs
Tender and succulent ribs cooked to perfection, not tough or dry.

Comes with a side of wedges, salad and cheese (for the wedges)

Iced Mocha (Strong coffee taste with no sugar)
Iced Lemon Tea (not too sweet, perfect blend of tea and lemon)

PoTeaTo Chips

Sauces: Cheese and Tomato herb

Its like a meal on its on so it comes with a side of salad as well~

The table was a little bit small for 3 big plates haha. But we managed~

I have a really small appetite, but surprisingly the salmon was just nice for me! I finished every single bit of it, it was just that good hahaha~ (or Maybe I was just really hungry hahaha ^^)

Although the cafe was kinda far from the MRT station, but you could just take a short cut through the HBD buildings which take about 8-10mins walk. (Having a little work out before dinner really gives a you a good appetite.)
Especially after having filled our stomachs to the brim, walking around looking at the cafes and restaurants nearby also going in to a local bookstore really made the night nicer. Just nice to digest the food.

Oh! they are also not open on Mondays~
but they are opened from 12pm -10.30pm on weekdays (Tuesdays - Friday)
and 10am -10.30pm on Saturdays, 10am - 9pm on Sundays!

Enjoy your food~
Hope you will have a good time too!~
Cheers!
