I've been quite, well, depressed lately. Good breakfast is always essential to the healing or at least add some idea of worthiness to my thoughts so in the end, things wouldn't seem to be going so bad. It's good to balance the thoughts in your head once in a while. My mother always say there's an extreme good and evil in me (which I have to admit, it's true). When I'm good, I'm really really good. But when that dark thoughts take over, I'm done. I could be the worst me possible.

Anyways, I have no intention to include all the sour stuff here. It's the breakfast I wanted to talk about. Just plain good. Never tried their cakes but the freshly baked bread are exceptional. I would have guessed the same with their cakes.

Scrambled egg served with ham and toasted bread. Their omelet is just as good but I was a little bored with stir fried potatoes, thought I would skip it entirely.

Ended with ice coffee. Well, can't help. It was way too hot outside so it is extremely important I keep myself cool (as in temperature) as much as possible ;)

The website is not functioning properly. You have a choice of visiting one of their branch at Rama IV or Chidlom.

Cheers!

In a Mood for a Few Drinks?

Ah, this was taken a few days back but anyways, I'm in a mood for it (even if it's morning here in Bangkok). A good recap of when my team and I randomly visit Siam Kempinski after work. The guys ordered beer, of course.

"Whiskey Apple Sour" was the name of my drink, which I gotta say, not very impressive right from the start. Orders taken but unfortunately, mine came last...Everybody had to wait. Frankly speaking, the rule is all the drinks must come at the same time. I worked in a bar and still remember it by heart. Anyways, when it was my turn, "Whiskey Apple Sour" turned into "Appletini".... As confused as I was, I didn't want others waiting... but I was quite sure it wasn't what I had ordered... Disappointed of course.

Other than the drinks, everything else is good. I particularly like the cashew nuts glazed with what I think might be "Tom Yum" flavored glaze. A little sweet and sour, mild taste of chili. Atmosphere of the hotel is simply elegant :)
