Gleams and Glam: Bangkok

Organika - A Gorgeous Cafe in Bangkok

Bangkok has always been my favorite place for café hopping. All of their cafes are beautifully decorated and always Instagram-worthy. I am back in Bangkok again, and I was super excited to visit Organika Café after researching about it from the web. Organika Café and Restaurant is one of the most beautiful cafés that I’ve visited. Touches of green here and there lend a refreshing feel to the place. The restaurant is furnished with the color themes of white and green, exuding a clean and relaxing vibe. The interior also has a rather minimalistic feel with high white ceilings, and Victorian-style decorations.

Everything looked so good in their menu and I couldn’t decide on what to settle on. There were so many enticing options that seems to cater to different taste buds. After much consideration, I ordered a Buttermilk Pancake for 295 THB (S$13). I love pancakes and this was one of the nicest pancakes I’ve eaten. It was a lovely and sweet way to wake my taste buds up that day.

Another dessert that I ordered was the Whole Apple Crumble for 350 THB (S$15). It features baked apples, cinnamon, berry compote, and crisp crumble. I really enjoyed the crisp crumble as it blended really well with the baked apples. The plating was flawless, and you could tell that emphasis is put into plating the dish. Also, I ordered a Matcha Green Tea for 180 THB (S$8).

Their spaghetti tasted amazing, but sadly I couldn’t remember the name of this dish :( It was really worth the try and once again, the presentation of the dish was spot-on.

Another spaghetti that I ordered was the Chilled Angel Prawn, 350 THB (S$15). This pasta was such a flavor bomb and I never thought that the Yuzu dressing would blend so well with the pasta and prawn. The Irish Coffee, 295 THB (S$13) caught our eyes and hence, we decided to give it a try.

All in all, dining at Organika Café & Restaurant was a great indulgence and I was truly captivated by the décor, food presentation and every little details of the café. If you ever travel to Bangkok, do stop by this café as you do not want to miss out such a hidden gem in Bangkok.

Organika has its own line of unique scented blends, combined with flowers, fruits, and spices. Also, if you wish to visit their spa, it is located at a level below their café.

After an exhausting day walking down the streets of Chatuchak and Asiatique, we were craving for a relaxing eating place where we could lounge back, chat and listen to classical music. Of course, we did not know the answer to the question “where”. There were tons of eating place around Asiatique and we were certainly indecisive. ( is it just me or when there are too many choices to choose from, it is more difficult to set my eyes on just one thing )

What caught my eye was the beautiful lights hanging all over Fire & Dine. Bottles of wine and beer were placed all over this shop. It sure tempted the drinkers! There’s a grill counter at the entrance of their shop. The slow grilled chickens look so yummy! (They sure know how to attract my attention). Not forgetting that the live band inside could also be heard from outside. Also, the place was packed with people (surprisingly, there was no queue). It is pretty typical that when you see many people eating at a restaurant, we will think that the food is nice. So, we decided to give it a shot!

They serve Thai and Western food so we opted for both! The Grilled Ribeye with Tamarind Sauce (220baht - S$8.95) looked totally appetising from the outside. Oh just you wait until you take a bite, you will be wanting for more! The taste was so special and the sauce made it so much more yummy. It is a must-try if you eat here!(-: The Penne Arrabbiata (260baht - S$10.57) was not too bad, but I suggest you try their meat instead. The grilled chicken at the entrance looked appealing so we decided to order it. The half chicken is 200baht - S$8.13 and the full chicken is 320baht - S$13.02. The breast meat was soft, not from what I expected it to be. The chicken was so tender and the spicy sauce goes well with it. Overall, this was one of the best meals I have eaten in Bangkok. BIG THUMBS UP!
