Mr. Bean failed to be reborn

In Bangkok, coffee specialty cafes tend to focus on coffee only (whether good or not, while the taste of food is subjective to diners), but most of them fail to deliver it with an 'ambiance' and good service.  If a cafe doesn't convince me that it is comfy, cozy and commercially homey (where service counts), but just looks like a part of my kitchen and served by my buffalo-like maid at home, than why do I spend my money there instead of just getting my brew at home. For chain coffee specialty cafes in Thailand, by far, I only see that Starbucks passes the mark.

Though ASIATIQUE the Riverfront doesn't count Starbucks in, lucky that I didn't see Tom n Toms and Coffee World there. Coffeol, I am okay with it though not in my routine. (p.s. I miss Mr. Bean, as there it delivered an "ambiance" and service.)

Eating by the river

Eating at a night bazaar is (usually) the last place that I would like to dine at, such as the recently opened Asiatique the Riverfront. By chance, a few days ago I ate at Ko Dang Talay, and I found out that the food is good and the price is decent. Ko Dang Talay is not the place that sucks the tourist spending budget, but an honest seafood restaurant that really aims on cooking people a meal. Finally there is a place for me to eat, after a round of exhausted night bazaar shopping with heat and sweat.
