» Tucked away on the third floor of the newly opened 9:53 community mall in Thong Lor, this two-month-old all-day eatery offers more than the usual eggy brunch dishes. ABC Essence in Eatery is a brave black sheep grazing on a hill predominantly filled with Japanese restaurants, which should be a delight for the area's residents, who must be tired of having sushi first thing on a Sunday morning. With a clean-cut, white-walled interior, spanking new marble floors and Scandinavian furniture, it manages to pull off the "modern" look that seldom fails to please diners' eyes. You can expect to find Japanese housewives enjoying a lazy lunch, urbanites digging into healthy salads and serious coffee fans grabbing their caffeinated beverages. Although there's limited parking, a valet service is available — so there's no need for Thonglorites to swap their stilettos for Havaianas or worry about braving the sweltering heat.
