BKK #14: Food
One thing we love about Thailand is the food! Even in Tokyo we regularly eat Thai food. So here are a few of the places we enjoyed in Bangkok (not all Thai food though).
T & K Sea Food (aka Toy & Kid)
49-51 Phadung Dao Road (Chinatown), Tel: (02) 223 4519
T&K is a famous sea food restaurant in Chinatown, not far from Hualompong station. We had crab curry, fried rice, and deep fried shrimps. Cheap, delicious, and friendly staff!
This is a popular, sort of high-class restaurant. We went to the Sukhumvit location near BTS station Nana, a short walk from The Atlanta. We had som tam (papaya salad), green beef curry with roti, pad thai, and sticky rice.
The restaurant looked very nice, and the staff was too, although there seemed to be too many of them (probably more than there were customers at that time).
Crêpes & Co.
18/1, Sukhumvit soi 12 (BTS station Asok)
In a sunny mid-afternoon, after having been dumped by a crazy tuk-tuk driver about 4 times farther from our destination than we initially were, we went to have dessert at Crêpes & Co.
We had a chessboard-like table outdoors amongst the trees and vegetation. A friendly waiter brought us a can of Off in case we were to be bothered by the insects (we weren't, though). Although we could hear the conversations of other customers, we couldn't quite see them. This felt like a nice escape from the city, and we were served our delicious crêpes along with coffee and cookies.
Even though this was about as expensive as a whole meal at Anna's Cafe, it sure was worth it! A definite stop!
Chocolate buffet at The Sukhothai Hotel
13/3 South Sathorn Road
Located just a few steps from The Metropolitan where we were staying at, The Sukhothai is a large hotel that holds a chocolate buffet every Friday, Saturday and Sunday in its luxurious Salon just by the entrance.
That's right, all you can eat chocolates, cakes, ice cream, and also drinks (coffee, tea, and of course hot chocolate) and even some other food for when you get fed up with all the sweetness. All very delicious!
The chocolate buffet costs about 750฿.

I wish you a nice trip!
I don't dare going there in winter anymore, last time I went in November was worse than I expected, so I'll wait until spring at least. :)
