Samphanthawong

A simple local Chinese coffee shop to experience simple coffee and toast.

We initially thought this might be a fancy dim sum place with no substance, but we were proven wrong. The dim sum is really satisfying and delicious. Every dish is delicate and good quality. 4 dim sum and tea cost 640B.

A strange but nice dessert: sweet cold noodle. Refreshing and interesting try.

Local curry puff in an alley. Taste wise is okay, as they offer many flavors. The skin is probably not soft enough. They have all kind of snacks besides curry puff.

Simple and nice local bakery.

Order the toast with sausages: simple, cheap and nice.

A nice bowl of egg noodle herbal soup with duck. Nice broth.

The coffee shop is on top of some old machinery storage warehouse. This place is fairly crowded and noisy. They have some specialty coffee, but we just order orange coffee with cake. It is an okay place, but not really comfortable.

Chinatown is actually quite a huge area, probably extending beyond Yaowarat Road. I prefer Chinatown in the daytime, as are plenty of famous Chinese cuisine and Michelin Bib restaurants. There are also all kinds of markets and temples. Chinatown at night is pretty much concentrated along Yaowarat Road with its sidewalk food vendors starting their business. Most people dine here for the atmosphere.

Love the liveliness of street vendors.

It is a modern soybean dessert shop, perfect for a hot day. They offer a variety of flavours, but taste wise seems pretty average.

Warm and flavourful broth with roll rice noodles. It is simple, nice and satisfying. This place is fairly crowded due to its location, but the queue is systematic and fast.

Too sweet, too messy with average bread. The hype is probably due to the location and the bun does seems interesting.
