During a short trip to Bangkok last week, despite our 'busy' schedule, we managed to take some time off to visit Vanilla Garden which was first introduced to me by Yen (of Vanilla Minuet).
At Vanilla Garden, there are three concept stores sharing a sprawling landscape covered in lush greenery - a cookbook library called Sauce, a Chinese dim sum tearoom named Royal Vanilla. And of course there is this Vanilla Café, the one which we went all the way there for.
Housed inside a two-storey building, the café is tastefully furnished, complete with vintage toys and Japanese comic books that filled the shelves, high and low.
Don't you agree that the café does share some striking similarities with the Vanilla Bar & Café on our shores?
Loved that gorgeous arch marble lamp.
My Vanilla Frappé with Strawberry Jelly was the perfect remedy to the killer 40oC outside.
Salmon Sashimi in Shoyuu Vinegar (฿190)
The unique taste of the vinegar sauce just whetted the appetite even more.
Decided to go for Shoyu Ramen (฿250) on a whim.
They liked their Rice in Omelette w/ Pork (฿320) a lot and lauded that the skin of the omelette was even smoother than theirs. Ehh, you mean your face? Or....
I will be back. Definitely.
