#allcoco

The Blue Elephant restaurant serves Thai cuisine and also has its own culinary school in the building. 

The photo is a little dark, but that is Tom Yum soup. Honestly, I can never have enough good Tom Yum. It’s probably my favorite Thai dish. 

Main dishes. 

And there is an Allcoco cafe near our Airbnb, which we walked past everyday but only on the last two days did it occur to me that I should try it out. And it also has very attractive interior design which makes you want to stay in their cafe for the entire afternoon. They sell whole coconuts, coconut “snowballs” which are whole coconuts with husks removed, coconut ice cream, coconut pudding and a whole variety of coconut drinks from coconut flavored coffee to coconut Thai iced tea with ice cream. I think tropical places really need more of such cafes. 

Coconut pudding, coconut “snowball” and coconut ice cream. 

This black coconut ice cream is made from burnt coconut husks. It tastes great too! 

First, you drink the water from a straw... 

Then... challenge yourself to come up with the most creative half-coconut shape that can contain water. I was working on it.

But yeah, this coconut-eating experience has given me so much inspiration. That I want to open my own coconut cafe. I think that would really put my interior design skills to some good use...

And finally, we went to this tourist food street called Khaosan Road.
