What is your favorite menu at Mont Nom Sod?

This week I want to share my experience at the old café in the old town of Bangkok. Last Thursday after school, I had a chance to meet my hischool friend and we went for a stroll around Sanamluang, Bangkok City Hall and Giant Swing. After walking for a while, my friend and I decided to stop for refreshment at Mont café or call in Thai as mont Nom Sod. (มนต์นมสด) In this article, I will share my experience at Mont café on food, atmosphere and location.

At Mont café, the menu is focus on milky beverage and bread, thus I would like to review cool chocolate, bread and peanut butter, bread and corn syrup and bread and egg sangkaya. For a cup of cool chocolate, I think it taste a little bitter from densely chocolate, sweet from sweetened condensed milk and oily from fresh milk. Every ingredient in cool chocolate was mixed for serving chocoholic and I like that cup. Well, I will move to review bread. First, bread and peanut butter smells of peanut and bread is so soft. The taste is not too sweet and greasy from butter. Second, bread and corn syrup is pretty sweet from real corn. Corn syrup was spread on bread, so these two parts can mix a smooth tasty bread. Third, bread and egg sangkaya is my favorite bread at Mont café because the bread was cut into cubes. I dipped the bread into egg sangkaya. The bread is soft and bouncy, whereas egg sangkaya is oily and sweet from sugar, eggs and coconut milk.


Mont Nom Sod is warm and cozy atmosphere. The interior of a café was decorated with earth tones color. There are lots of super stars photos on the wall. The tables are brown and the light is bright orange, so there make the atmosphere of the café warm. There are no waiter and waitress at the café. You have to self-service, but the cashiers are friendly.
The location of Mont Nom Sod is in the area of the old town of Bangkok. It is near the Bangkok city hall and not too far from Sanamluang and Khaosan road. If you do not want to walk there, you can take Tuk-Tuk or taxi and tell the driver pai mont nom sod ( go to Mont café), it cost about 50 baht from Sanamluang. If you like walking, you can walk to there, while enjoy view of a row of buildings that was built around from King Rama V period. Mont Nom Sod is on Din-so road.

To sum up, Mont Nom Sod is and old café from 1964 in the old town of Bangkok. The menu is focus on milky beverage and bread. My favorite bread at mont is bread and egg sangkaya, cool chocolate is my choice of drink. The atmosphere of café is good for relax with friends because it is warm and cozy. The location is easy to find because it is near Giant Swing and Bangkok city hall that are the symbol of Bangkok. The taste is luscious and the price is reasonable. Totally, I like it.

Italiano foods for you

         

              Buon Giorno! It means hello in Italian. Time flies day after day, week after week so it’s time to review a new fabulous restaurant to you again. Firstly, may I ask some questions to you my lovely readers? Do you like Italian foods? Where are your favorite Italian restaurants? If the answer of the first question is “yes” but you still don’t have a favorite restaurant, I have one Italian restaurant to recommend. Let’s think about a big dish of spaghetti, does it make you’re more hungry? My stomach is already hungry.

              

         

                 Big mama Pizzeria Italian Restaurant is a chick & cool restaurant. There are many kinds of Italian foods such as pizza, spaghetti, ravioli, etc. Apart from various kinds of foods, they also offer many kinds of beverages. For instance, cocktails, fresh fruit juice, shakes, cold drinks, soft drinks, beer and whisky. I believe that many of you might be pizza lovers because you can order pizza to share with your friends while you’re having party. At Big mama Pizzeria Italian Restaurant, there are many toppings for you to choose and the cook will make and bake it as your order, one by one order. You have to wait for a moment and then you’ll have a mouth-watering pizza from the original tradition stove. According to last week, my friend and I went to the Big mama and we tried some menus for the first time. I honestly love them. There are Black Ravioli, Spaghetti Bolognese, Mushroom and Bacon Spaghetti.

             


             We ordered drinks first; I ordered Banana Ginger shakes and my friend ordered Lemon Mint shakes. These drinks are refreshing beverages. After that the waitress served us a little basket full of bread and a pat of butter to be our appetizer. Then the three dishes of main course were served. The first dish I tasted is Spaghetti Bolognese; its taste is a little bit sour and sweet. I think this menu is suitable for everybody whether little child. The sauce of Spaghetti Bolognese gave me the taste of tomato sauce and cheese. Oh! It’s yummy. The second dish is Mushroom and Bacon Spaghetti, its taste is quite spicy. I would like to recommend this menu to someone who likes spicy food and afraid of an oily taste of Italian food. Its spicy tastes are from Thai chili and black pepper. The third dish is Black Ravioli. It’s very delicious. In case of some people don’t know that what ravioli is; ravioli is one kind of pasta in the shape of squares filled with meat and cheese and usually served with a sauce. This menu gives you a taste of cheesy. No wondering that this menu is gonna be my favorite dish of Italian food for sure. According to my food description, which one you prefer the most? For me I highly recommend you to try Black Ravioli for once, I’m pretty sure you’re gonna love it!

              The restaurant was decorated in warmth Italian style. Because of size of the restaurant is quite not too big, so it made me feel comfortable like I had lunch at home. Importantly, I really like this restaurant because they always play music. I believe that listening to the music while eating food makes people have good appetite. Have I told you guys that there are two separated areas; indoor and outdoor zones. Inside of the restaurant’s wall there are many beautiful paintings which were hung on the wall as decoration items. And one side of the wall they allow customers to paint something on the paper. After painting customers can hang their paintings on the wall.

My delicious meal @ Big mama

      The price of the food is not too expensive so as a student I believe its affordable prize and it’s worth it. For example, spaghetti’s price starts from 200 Baht.

      Big mama Pizzeria Italian Restaurant is located on Sukhumvit 21. It’s very close to our campus so if you’d like to go there you can take a walk for ten minutes only. If you don’t like to walk you can take a bus No. 38 or taxi. In case of you need more information you can contact the restaurant at this number 02-2590232.

Hi everyone !!! and happy last saturday of this month. ^^ The month of love is coming soon. I wish all of u are happy together yeah !!!. All right, today i would like to present the good flavour of noodle fish restaurant (i think so ^__^). Here is "Munagthong Fish Noodle" or Kuay Tieaw Pra Muangthong.

Muangthong Fish Noodle was located on 55/457 across from Land Department buliding, changwattana road, bang pood distric, pakket, Nonthaburi. (come in Changwattana road, pass Sukhothai Thammadhirat University and entrance into the project 5).

The popular and the best-selling of menu in this restaurant is spicy and sour soup noodle. Because this restaurant use natural lemon juice only, however at that time the lemon is so expensive no matter. The special thing that i proud to present is "boiled egg" in the spicy and sour soup noodle that get along with soup. Unless spicy and sour soup noodle menu, this restaurant have noodle with seafood soup and red sauce menu or thai people called "Yen Ta Four" that best-selling same. Then, there are odinary noodle for who don't like nippy flavour also.

First bowl, i start to eat the large strip spicy and sour soup and fresh fish meat. (เส้นใหญ่ต้มยำเนื้อปลาสด) It's hot and very spicy flavour. I do love it. ^_____^ And then, i order chinese steamed drumpling or "Khanom Jeep" (ขนมจีบ) and fresh spring rolls or "Por Piea Sod" (ป่อเปี๊ยะสด). All of them it's very delicious and mellow flavour and the important thing it's not fishy smell. This is 3 types of all of menus that can make me so full.

Unless the menus that i told you, this restaurant have other menus such as fish drumpling or "Kieaw Pra", mix spicy and sour soup or "Tom Yam Roum Mit", head fish spicy and sour soup or "Tom Yam Hua Pra", scald fish meat or "Nuea Pra Luak", fried spring rolls or "Por Piea Tord" and etc. Then, this restaurant have dessert to serve for you after eating meat dish such as crisp pomegranate seeds or "Tab Tim Korb" (ทับทิมกรอบ), rice noodles with coconut cream or "Lod Chong" (ลอดช่อง), taro or "Peuak" (เผือก) and jelly black or "Chao Kuay" (เฉาก๊วย).

The price of noodle menu is 30 bath per bolw but if it is spicy and sour soup noodle the price is 40 bath per bowl. it not expensively that suitable for social and economy in this time. Muangthong Fish Noodle open everyday from 7.00 a.m. to 9.00 p.m.

And last, If you have an occation to pass to Nonthaburi, you should to visit and taste at this restaurant that can change your feel about fish noodle from the old thought like me.
