B Magazine, Michael Ruffles, Published on 23/11/2014
» From time to time, the Land of Smiles seems like it's anything but. It becomes the land of smirks when you're waiting for change and the motorcycle taxi rider insists he doesn't have enough.

Add in a penchant for incorporating elements from different cuisines, and you can expect pretty unique fare. Hanging light bulbs with exposed cords and a bare floor convey the casual-yet-cool vibe, while touches of blue may remind you of the coastal state. The high ceiling also lends the place an airy and spacious feel. The mezzanine level (yet to open at the time of our visit) offers a more formal atmosphere and a private room. Most of the diners here are expats.

» Khao tom and Thais are inseparable. The boiled-rice soup is a much-loved choice for breakfast that's also very popular for dinner. We crave the light and soothing khao tom when we're happy and can't live without it when we're sick.
