Bangkok 2016 - The Commons // Roast

theCOMMONS is known as 'Thonglor’s backyard', a place where everyone can spend quality time in the neighborhood while being a little closer to nature. It's opened by the people behind Roast, which was relocated here from Seenspace. (Read my 1st visit here!) The space is divided into 4 sections with different names which are Market, Village, Play Yard and Top Yard.

We had our brunch at Roast, which is located at the entire area of Top Yard. We ordered a roasted tomato soup (180THB), pulled pork burger (320THB), truffle alfredo (280THB) and a crab cake benedict (360THB) to share. The truffle alfredo is the bomb!! Please please order it if you are visiting Roast! Their homemade tagliatelle is so good, and cooked to the perfect doneness in rich truffle cream sauce, definitely one of the best pasta that I've ever had.

Besides Roast, there are also many other cafes and eateries that you can check out at the Commons, definitely worth a visit if you are traveling to Bangkok!

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!

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!
