A meal with a glass of kopi

Kopitiam, that borrows from the combination of Malay and Chinese Hokkien word - coffee shop, is a dine-in fast food chain serving Thai-Chinese cuisine in Bangkok. It is not particularly impressive, but at least that it is something better than the Lee Cafe, and they easily fix us a meal in a hurry.


all day dining - breakfast (congee with century eggs; lava eggs Malay style)


all day dining - lunch (stir-fried iceberg lettuce; baked rice with meats in clay pot)


all day dining - dinner (stir-fried crab meats in yellow curry sauce; stir-fried CN kale)

Gastro 1/6

Shadow of Jamie Oliver

Gastro 1/6 is about (true) European style all day (though only until 3 pm) countryside brunch dining in downtown Bangkok (almost at your backyard if Sukhumvit area is where you lodge); it is in a pretty laid-back mode - both the servers and the customers. If we are not rushed to do the eating, we will enjoy it, and I do. And to enjoy the pleasure of an utmost laid-back excursion, do bring a novel, or your 3G compatible smartphone that can 'line' with your friends, or a tablet with you to kill time while waiting for your order and the food to be prepared.


chilled milk; iced choco drinks (both norm brand from any supermarket)

poached eggs, sauteed mushroom, Parmesan cheese, with truffle oil, THB 320

French toast, seasonal fruits, honey (i wish if it was maple syrup), THB 195
