I may have found my favorite café in Bangkok… tucked into a little 4-table ‘hole-in-the-wall’ is a lovely little kitchen, sweet people, a very eclectic assortment of décor, and a very fresh, healthy, trendy – beautifully presented – menu of traditional Thai dishes! The green curry was so hot I had to cool down the lips with a little coffee ice cream! (talk about the PERFECT remedy!)… where else can you get multi-grain like, red & white rice in the shape of a teddy bear?!, with a fresh flower on the side of your plate?! Wanida, the owner, is celebrating her 17th year with this business, as she has watched many other restaurants along the same street come & go over the years. I returned to this cafe many days in a row, and had the chance to visit with Wanida during the later night hours... and consequently had the chance to hear lots of stories about the area and enjoy some great conversation with her, as she spoke exceptional English. (thankfully, as my Thai is only up to about 10 words max!)
