Cafe-Surfing V.03 : Bake a Wish

The place where I am located "Bangyai" is far North part of Bangkok. Before I could get to the nearest skytrain, I need to travel for 45 minutes at Mo Chit BTS station near Chatuchak. I can consider it as one of Bangkok's province! But recently, Central Westgate Mall opened last August 28. Now evnethough our place is quite far from civilization, we have Central, Finally. The mall have a lot of stores, restaurants, and cafes too, mostly were Japanese. One of which is Bake A Wish cafe. It is located at Floor 1 and just at the center part of the mall. Their cream puffs caught my attention (also the long line of people). We ordered Green Matcha Cake, New York Cheesecake, and Chocolate Tiramisu. To add some good-vibe-drink, I had one hot Caramel Machiatto. It was creamy and just right to balance the sweetness of the cake. Cake's prices ranges from 85 baht to 150 baht the most. Coffee and other hot beverages starts at 80 baht. Next time I come back there, I will definitely try their famous cream puffs with different flavors.

Overall, I can say that with their affordable price, people will always find themselves craving and lining up for their favorite slice of cake.

With every slice, is a wish come true!

Cafe-Surfing V.02 : Lair of Laziness Cafe

Last time was an adventure to a Cat's den. This time around was into a Dog's den. With the help of Mrs. Instagram and Mr. Google map, I found another interesting cafe around Bangkok, LOL Cafe or "Lair of Laziness" Cafe.  This cafe houses dogs with breeds of Siberian husky, Golden retriever, Poodle, Alaskan Malamute, and Labrador. Similar to any Pet cafes, protocol is to take off your shoes and wash your hands upon entering the cafe. There is also a waiting game involved. Since this place is just near Silom BTS station, people, may it be local Thai or even foreigners, find this secluded dog paradise at Soi 4 very accommodating. 

The cafe is located in a narrow alley at Soi 4 and surrounded with  different thai body spas and streetfood carts. At first glance of its location, you wouldn't expect that there lies a Dog cafe. They only offer drinks in their menu. You can choose either hot or cold coffee, or fruit shakes in an affordable price. Some of you might wonder why do they only offer drinks for their customers, that's because if there setup would be similar to Caturday, it would probably be a riot inside the cafe. Dogs at LOL Cafe are huge! They're not your ordinary dogs, they aren't teacup puppies or chiwawa doggies.

One interesting thing about visiting LOL Cafe, is the overwhelming feeling that you'll have when you are surrounded by different kind of dogs in one place without seeing them fight with each other. I guess if you are working there as a waiter/waitress, it is an advantage that you know how to handle them. Making sure that they are tamed but not getting their adorable-factor out of the window. As long as you are gentle and caring, they won't hurt you.
