[CLOSED] Somboon Thai Seafood

Through out all my buying trips for Lemon, one place I have always wanted to go but never had the chance was the famous Somboon seafood. The three attempts to go there always failed, from the tuk - tuk driver took us to the wrong seafood place until the so many taxi drivers who couldn't seem to know where this so called the most famous seafood in Bangkok. So I gave up until around three weeks ago, I found out a new Thai seafood named Somboon opened at pX Pavilion. Very excited! Couple weeks ago I dragged my parents and husband to dine there on a Saturday night.

Bubble tea fever in Jakarta: Which one you like best?

You know how you are on diet and there's just one thing that you simply cannot let go, and you just let it ruin your diet plan? Well, for me that thing came in plastic cups with toppings. I love bubble tea and simply can't get enough of them. Who's with me?

Convivium Cafe Deli

 

From Sinou Kaffee Hausen, we went straight to Convivium which can be reached within walking distance. I have been curious about the place which often identified as one of the place that served the best cakes. That day, the place was super crowded and super noisy. Lucky for us there was an empty table fits five of us. 

Sinou Kaffee Hausen

Last Saturday, my friends and I were having a girls day out and we went to Sinou Kaffee Hausen. Located in Panglima Polim next to Seven Eleven, the place was not exactly what I have in mind. As I parked my car, I was surprised to see how small the place was from the outside. Stepping inside, the place was indeed not spacious. 

As when we seated, I took some time to see the whole place and slowly getting to quite enjoy it. The whole place looked vintage with the old wooden furniture, big black piano, unfinished walls with some sort of under construction look. I couldn't say that I like the place, but it did had an unique concept and offered many great backgrounds for photo shoots. There was also a couple doing a pre wedding shot during our visit.

[CLOSED] Cafe Aria

It had been quite some time I wanted to go this place who took Tony's Roma former location in Panin building. So couple weeks ago on a Saturday night, I went there with hubby. Cafe Aria is one of the hippest cafe in town at the moment and the place was super crowded when we arrived without reservation. There were still some tables on the outdoor but it was super hot with all the yellow lights so we waited for the one inside, lucky for us we were seated shortly although it was not the ideal spot as it was in the center of the room between two long tables with big crowds who kept on looking whenever I lifted my camera to took pictures of the interior, so I ended to not getting any pictures as I thought to wait until I finished our dinner and that's when the camera's battery went off. :(
