In Tater's Town IV: Thanks Tater

Dean & DeLuca is a favourite of Savante and Legolas. Always wondered what was so great about it. As luck would have it, Tater brought us to breakfast there on Tuesday morning. The flagship store at MahaNakhon Cube had pretty good business on a work day morning. Most of the customers were ladies of leisure and some in work clothes with no apparent hurry to get into the office. The interior was true to its upscale label with a grocery store that reminded me of Harrod's. My choice of breakfast was a brioche with sausage and duck egg. Quite good but my only complaint was the super salty sauce. Ahi Tuna dusted with espresso was KH's unconventional choice and Tater went for something very American, a stack of waffles. We lingered at D&D till the lunch crowd streamed in. The couple who sat at the table next to us had a ravenous appetite. Between the two of them, they ordered three mains and a large slice of pizza. Yikes. The duty manager caught Tater's eye with his brig

On Monday morning, both Tater and KH donned their skanky pants ( running tights ) and headed to Lumphini Park for a jog. Being the lazy pig I am, I stayed in bed. When they got home, KH and I went out for a local breakfast while Tater stayed home to have hamster food and milk. After so many years in the SEA region, I would have thought that his stomach adjusted to rice and noodles in the morning. Hehe. Just down the street was a small food court with quite a good selection. I ordered a bowl of wantan  noodles and KH went for the soup noodles with duck meat. Hot and hearty. Got a couple lattes at Alex Coffee  before heading back up. Arranged to have lunch with SK at Siam Paragon. Believe it or not, we went back to Hokkai-Don  just for the chutoro sashimi !!! Ordered four portions and moved on to MAiSEN  for some katsu . Definitely go for the premium meat. The shrimp  katsu  sandwich is quite good too. One small thing though, their cabbage salad ain't no where as good as Sabo

Coffee ( or Cock ) Woke up bright and early on Sunday cause both of us were horny and we weren't gonna get anymore sleep without settling our woodies. It was an intense session but the apartment was big enough that we didn't wake our host. Tater brought us to breakfast at Dexter , a very hipster cafe with a cute barista. KH and I shared the big breakfast of scrambled eggs, sausage, ham, oats, greens and cheese. And they served specialty coffees from around the world. To replenish my protein, I ordered the Austrian coffee. It came disassembled where I had to pour two shots of espresso over a raw egg yolk and then mix in honey. Not exactly a drink to sip, more like a drink to chug down while its hot. Church After breakfast, KH and I went to church near the US Embassy. The Holy Redeemer Church is special because it looks like a Catholic Wat. From the outside, the main church building looks like a typical Thai viharn with a multi-tiered roof. It was a suggestion from t
