Recipe - Frech Toast (my fav)

French Toast

What's the most tempting breakfast better than French toast on weekends? Just image thick slices of old bread soaked in mixture of beaten eggs with milk and cinnamon, toasted in a frying pan, and served with butter and maple syrup,which is the quickest and easiest breakfast especially for kids.To make the good French toast -the bread slices should be thickly sliced or else it tends to get mushy and fall apart when soaked in milk mixture if it's thinly sliced. Whenever I feel hungry these toast will be what I would be munching away shamelessly.Now these have become the favorite of both my kids and we all enjoy making these in weekends for breakfast but the worst part is when I have to clean the kitchen-a messy kitchen would take me more than 30 minutes to clean but making these toast is much easier..with kids in kitchen it's always headache.

Bangkok- Take a Seat Restaurant

Judging from its interior and clientele, Take-a-Seat may easily be mistaken to be a tourist-orientated Thai restaurant, and thus inauthentic in true Thai taste and expensive in price.
In fact, Take-a-Seat serves authentic Thai fare with a modern twist to both tourists and CBD white collars, and the price is surprisingly on the low side compared to other Thai restaurants in downtown Bangkok.

Bangkok - T42 - Tea for Two

For over a decade T42 at Siam Discovery Centre (moved from its former location in the Siam Centre few months ago) serves Thai and international menu on the home-cooking approach, and its cakes have been claimed to be its strength. I found that the food is not great but a fair life-saver feast for shoppers after a day of Siam hopping and the nearby school kids. But the cakes, forget about it!
