Bangkok 2015 - Casa Lapin x26


This has got to be one of my favorite cafes in Bangkok! We visited Casa Lapin x26 on the 2nd night of our Bangkok trip for dinner. The cafe is located in a quiet area at Sukhumvit 26, around 10 mins walk from Phrong Phong BTS. Apparently Casa Lapin has quite a few branches in Bkk and the one we went is the biggest branch with a hostel, flower shop, co-working place and of course the cafe itself.

The cafe is really really spacious and it offers a good variety of seats from bar table, sofa table and dining area at the back. We were brought to the dining area behind by the friendly staff and we chose a window seats with sofa..hehe! I didn't do any research about the food so we just ordered the items that look appealing to us..lol! For the drinks, we ordered mocha, iced chocolate, lychee tea & thyme and orange & passion fizz. We ordered the green curry with roti for our appetizer and to be honest, we didn't have any expectation for this dish at all but it was so yummy!!! We certainly have higher expectation for our mains after the appetiser. We ordered a spicy carbonara, aglio olio and a beef burger to share and everything was so gooddddddd!!! I couldn't decide which pasta i like more because i lovee their aglio olio but they done the spicy carbonara so good, it was not jelat at all! o.o The beef burger was not bad too but i guess the pasta was too great that it outshone the burger, hahaha!!

The cafe was very quiet on that night with only few tables of guests and i really love the atmosphere there, definitely a great place to chill and relax after a long day of shopping hahaha! Saw some reviews of their hostel as well, would really like to stay at their hostel one day!

Taiwan 2015 Cafe - 路地 氷の怪物


Before I continue my taiwan travelogue, I thought maybe I can do a quick post of this super cute shaved ice that we had in Taichung! We heard about this place from a taiwan variety show - Kang Xi Lai Le and straightaway it's on our to go cafe list..lol! This place is a bit hard to access but I ensure you the journey and travel time will be worth it. 

There are 5 options to choose from which are milk, matcha, black sesame, cocoa and plum and you get to choose 2 toppings to go with each shaved ice. They have such a wide selection of toppings that took us long enough to decide which to get. We ordered the popular choice which is matcha and black sesame, can't remember what are the exact toppings that we chose though..haha! You have to place your order and pay for it before you get the seat in the cafe. Oh, we ordered the sinful marshmallow toast as well because we happened to see it when we were paying at the counter..lol!

We couldn't hide our excitement when the staff served the shaved ice to us! OMG just look at how cute the shaved ice is?! Ok, you might think it's just shaved ice with two candy eyeballs on it but still IT'S CUTEEEE XDD Time to spam photos and we have to take the photos real quick because the shaved ice melt pretty fast..lol! 

I like both matcha and black sesame flavor but if you can only choose one flavor, I will say go for the black sesame!! It's really really nice, the flavor is very rich but not too intense and the texture is so smooth that you can't stop asking for more. Even my friend who is not a fan of black sesame love it too! Oh ya and the marshmallow toast was really yummy as well, so glad that we decided to order it! Imagine the melted marshmallow on top of the crispy and fluffy toast which consist of banana slices in between..omggg im drooling now already..hahahaha!

This has got to be my favourite cafe for the whole trip, definitely worth a try if you are visiting Taichung!
