Bangkok 2015 - Karmakamet Diner

This post has been sitting too long in my draft and I just realised i haven finish updating my taiwan and bkk travel blog..urgh! The fact is i have already finished editing all the photos just that im really lazy to think of what to write..haha! Sometimes you just need certain mood to update your blog..lol! Ok, enough of this, lets take a look at this gorgeous cafe in Bkk!!!!

I have always wanted to visit Karmakamet Diner since my 1st visit to bkk, i have been to bkk for like 4 times already and finally i got to visit this time..hehe! Karmakamet started as an essential oil shop and expand into a restaurant which located near Phrom Pong bts station, about 10-15 mins walk. We went there around 10 plus in the morning to avoid the crowd. I was blown away by its rustic interior the moment i stepped in. I can't help to carry my camera around and snap endless of photos..haha!! The cafe is so so so gorgeous with so many thoughts and efforts put into every detail, even the coasters are folded from the letter and also the Karmakamet 'newspaper' as the placemat..omg im so in love with everything here!

There were so many things we wanted to try on the menu so we spent a really long time to decide what to order. We settled with 3 mains and 1 dessert to share. For the mains, we had chilli crab pasta, big breakfast and croque madame.The chilli crab pasta is a must order!! Huge chunks of fresh crab meats, topped with fish roe and rocket salad, plus the right amount of spiciness, it has got to be my favorite dish of the day!

As for the dessert, of course we have to order the iconic and instagrammable 'strawberry in the cloud', hmm even the name sounds fancy..haha! The cotton candy was so huge omg and so pretty in rainbow colours! Underneath the cotton candy is a small cup of strawberry shortcake which is not remarkable..lol! We took so many photos of this rainbow cotton candy and or course selfie is a must for everyone, it's not every day you will see such pretty (and huge) rainbow color cotton candy ok XDD

Karmkamet Diner's food is considered at a higher price range compared to the other cafes in BKK but given that the pleasant dining experience in such a gorgeous environment, i wouldn't mind to visit again!

Revisit: Sugar On Top (JB)

I am sure most of you have already heard of this famous matcha hotcake from Sugar On Top, it's so popular i think everyone goes crazy for it. I am not kidding, i have been waiting for so longgg to try it but every time i past by the cafe, there's always a long queue outside so i just gave up lol! Anyway, Joanne and me revisit Sugar On Top during one of the weekends and kiasu us went there around 12 plus to make sure we got a table inside..lol! They have changed the menu since we last came, i think they added some new items and i quite like their new menu design!

We ordered 2 mains and 2 desserts to share coz we are just greedy like that. For the 2 mains, we got The Black Kraken and tom yum pork chop. The squid ink pasta was nicely done but the taste was a bit bland. Now come to this 'interesting' part of the tom yum pork chop (wannabe?), we were puzzled when we saw the kimchi on the pork chop..nvm maybe it's just some decoration? But after we both tried the pork chop, we concluded that there's no tom yum taste at all?! The pork chop was not bad actually but i think it should be named as kimchi pork chop = =

Ok, the most enticing part was the dessert!! Besides the must order matcha hotcake, we ordered a salted egg yolk cronut to share as well~ We have vanilla ice cream for both the dessert as it's the only available flavor on that day..sigh! The salted egg yolk cronut was surprisingly good, but it can get quite jelat after a while, better to eat it hot and share with more ppl! As for the matcha hotcake, we were glad it didn't disappoint us! Just look at how the matcha lava oozed out so beautifully, it's not too sweet and goes well with the vanilla ice cream. I only wish the matcha taste can be stronger! Overall the food is not bad but service can be improved.
