2024/4/6 📍Store Name: The blooming gallery 📍Location: 8 ทองหล่อ 88/1 Thong Lo 8 Alley, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110, Thailand 📍This meal: Apple Blossom (Apple Soda) THB135 Egg Benedict with smoked salmon THB320 The Blooming Gallery (Lava Chocolate with Ice Cream) THB350 ————————————————————— Located inside the Eight Thong Lo shopping center in Thailand, the café is somewhat hidden. Before entering the shopping center, if you look to the left, there is a spiral staircase leading downstairs where you can find the entrance to the café. The vines hanging down on both sides of the staircase, the orange-red vintage brick walls, the wooden tables and chairs inside the store, and the flowers and plants decorating the space make the restaurant feel warm and romantic. Although the space is not large, it is bright during the day due to the glass roof, giving the impression of being in a greenhouse garden. Initially, I thought it was just an ordinary trendy café and didn't have high expectations for the food. However, after eating, I was pleasantly surprised by the deliciousness. The smoked salmon Eggs Benedict and the lava chocolate cake were rich in flavor and won my heart. The smoked salmon Eggs Benedict, made with English muffins, smoked salmon, and poached eggs, oozes enticing creamy egg yolk when cut open. Paired with a special cheese sauce, the texture is smooth and not greasy. The asparagus on the side is also perfectly grilled, adding a fresh and crisp texture to the creamy Eggs Benedict, making it incredibly delicious. As for the lava chocolate cake, the restaurant apologized and remade a new one because the initial one didn't come out looking nice. Although the wait was a bit long, it didn't affect my rating. The new lava chocolate cake, both in appearance and taste, was excellent. Decorated on a solid wood plate with whipped cream, edible flower petals, and green powder, the crispy chocolate shell encases a sweet and warm chocolate sauce. Paired with coconut ice cream and the cookie crumble underneath, the taste is elevated to a new level. Indeed, it is a dessert worthy of the café's name. I would revisit this place if I have the chance.

The café is located on the LG floor of Eight Thong Lo building, hidden at the back across from the supermarket (a bit tricky to find). It's another nice place to hang around with friends. The place is not so busy when I visited during the day. The staff there are nice and the drinks and cakes are also ok. A bit Smaller than it looks, but a very cozy and romantic ambience, regardless. There is a winding staircase leading to the cafe and it is actually within something resembling a glass greenhouse. #bangkoktrip
