Eggcentric

It was a long weekend for me as my Mom and Sis were in the city and after they've gone I have a very important audit waiting for me. Finally, two days of audition for my company to renew it's international license is done. We passed the audit successfully and we will not have to do this again for another 3 years. Such a relief. I guess there's nothing important to accomplish anymore for the year. What should've done has been done and the closure is simple.

I am a big fan of American Breakfast. For people who know me well enough, knows that eggs and bacon dazzles me. When my family was here, I took the chance to bring them so some of my favorite spots in BKK that serve the most authentic American Breakfast.

On the first day we woke up to the sign of approaching winter. It was chilly as Mom open the windows and my Sis was kind of excited because this is what she's longing for. It was a sunny day with a touch of cooling breeze when the wind blows. It came to my mind that it would be great if we go to a location that kind of set the winter moods in. It was a short trip for them and so I choose "Roast Cafe & Bistro" on the first day and "Audrey" the next day for our breakfast during their stay.

Our first stop is Roast. A warm and cozy place with large glass panel. At a glance, most of the patrons are ex-pat and foreign students swinging their morning away with delightful breakfast.

What we had for breakfast is pretty much basic. Nothing special, just food with original taste from where it belongs and invented. On the table were "Roast" Breakfast, Two Eggs Any Style and Classic Egg Benedict.

The next morning we were at Audrey. A restaurant named and inspired by Audrey Hepburn who stars in the Hollywood hit Breakfast at Tiffany's. A cottage like structure located in a quiet lane of the concrete jungle in Thonglor. FYI, Thonglor is also known as the Beverly Hills of BKK where the most diversified sides of BKK presents itself.

Audrey's quotes on the wall.

What we had on the able were Cream of Ground Beef with Fried Egg on Toast, Omelette stuffed with Ham, Mozzarella Cheese and Mushrooms and the last but not least Salmon Benedict. An all time American favorite.

Besides all the satisfying food and all, we had a really great time. Nonetheless, the small talk we had throughout our day is lagendary. Haha!

Late Lunch

Was supposed to meet up my friends for lunch at Paragon on a warm Sunday but I woke up too late to join them. They were done with lunch and started off with their shopping spree around the Siam Square area. The traffic to city was light and it wasn't a problem looking for a parking space at Paragon on Sunday. In no time I'm there. Since they were busy doing their own business already, I took some sweet time to spent my late-lunch at greyhound cafe. It's been a long while since the last time I patronized here. Wanted to try some of the food in the special "BKK-OSLO-BKK" menu but it was not there anymore. So back to basic.. Ordered the garlic and bacon fried rice that comes with a soup, and a glass of ice blended Thai milk tea. Such a simple pleasuring meal on a warm Sunday.

Cooling ice blended Thai milk tea..

Garlic & bacon fried rice. Lot's of garlic, for true garlic lover only.

When eating alone...

Always enjoy dining at this cozy cafe.

A Fishy Dinner

I took the chance to bring Bill & Kate to one of BKK's chickiest restaurant located in the alleys of Sukhumvit road during their stay in BKK. Here we are at Fat Fish. At a glance, this little french bistro around the corner of a junction added a lit of light that brightens up the dull corner. It was a rainy night and this would be the perfect place for our dinner. Rain drops drizzles on the glass panel adds up the moods to what seemingly as a romantic dinner (for Bill & Kate) and the brick wall generates a well amount of warm and cozy atmosphere to this restaurant.









Enough of how the place sets the mood for the night. On the contrary, the food is decently nice. They have some red meat main courses on the menu but the name of the restaurant says it all and of course we are ordering the fish dish.

Complimentary... home baked breads with butter, olive oil and tuna spread.

Soup of the day... Tomatoes with cream.

NZ mussels baked with cheese and bacon crisp. It has a very strong oceanic taste despite all that cheese.

My starter.. Prawns ravioli in creame. Very good and they are quite generous with the scallops. Can you see it?

My main... Always love grilled salmon but make sure it is medium cooked. Salmon doesn't taste good if it is fully cooked.

Kate's black cod as main.

Bill's Red Garoupa as main.

Haha... all time favorite dessert. Chocolate fondant with vanilla ice cream.

Bread pudding... I like the sweetness but the texture is a bit too soft.

The dinner was great, we are happy and satisfied with the food we had. The rain just wouldn't stop so we took our own sweet time hanging there until the restaurant closes. With Bill around, photo whoring is unavoidable.
