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!

Monsta Cafe

Last brunch with my lil sis before she flew back to Taiwan 2 weeks ago. Shen Sim brought us to this Monsta Cafe which is located at Bukit Indah. The cafe is located at the roadside, occupied a corner lot with its cartoonish billboard. I was surprised to find that the cafe is divided into two parts of completely different themes..lol! The front part is just a small area with their specialise coffee and bakery and the decor gives a vintage british feel which i love! The 2nd part of the cafe is mainly for dining. The space is much more bigger than the front part and it's filled with colourful furnitures and decorations.

A good menu design somehow gives me a better impression to the cafe as i think menu plays an important role in the cafe and i was really impressed with Monsta Cafe's menu. Their menu is quite thick, designed in a way that it looks like a magazine with the pictures of the food and some of their background story. I can see how much effort they put in for designing a menu like this as i just did a menu design for my assignment..lol!

Anyway, we ordered a mushroom soup and monsta fries to share. I really loveee the packaging of the monsta fries! Yes, i was a sucker for those pretty packaging stuff..hahaha! The mushroom soup was good but i think they can do better with the garlic bread..haha! For our mains, we ordered the grilled chicken chop, prawn aglio olio and huge chicken chop (yes the name is huge chicken chop)! The portion of the huge chicken chop was indeed huge..haha! So glad that everything on the plate was done very well without being too oily! I love the criss-cross fries! I love aglio olio a lot so i always order aglio olio if it's available on the menu. Sadly speaking, there isn't much good aglio olio around so i was glad that the aglio olio here was really good!

The Lab

Chanced upon this experimental lab concept cafe along Jalan Pisang  when we were trying to look for a place for dinner. Wanted to bring them to CAD cafe but it was closed on that day, lol! I later found out that this halal cafe has replaced the 7th cylinder which i visited long time ago. For starter, we ordered the lab drumlets ($9.00) which comes in 3 level of spiciness (Yek eleh, mild & wild), can't remember which spicy level we chose but the drumlets were pretty good. As for the mains, we ordered a Gehaktball ($13.90), Russian Roulade ($15.90), Heisenberger ($12.90) and a classic beef burger ($11.90) to share. I love the Gehaktball the most! The meatballs were very juicy and the hand cut roasted potato that served as a side was really yummy too!

We celebrated these 2 aquarius boys' bday on that day but the little surprise was quite failed hahaha! We couldn't light up the candles because both of us don't know how to use a lighter LOL so in the end mz was the one who light up the candles for his own cake, as well as ec's cake XD Nonetheless we still have fun taking endless shameless selfie and stupid video, hope you guys like the little surprise~ :)
