I loved cafe hopping while living in Melbourne. So when I heard that the cafe scene in Bangkok is pretty good, I couldn't pass up the chance to have a meal at least once in one of the much talked about cafes in Bangkok during my recent holiday.
I chose to being my family to One Ounce for Onion, a hipster cafe in Ekkamai. Its tucked inside the residential area, hundreds of metres away from the main road, and the only way to get there is via Grab or Taxi.
We arrived for a late breakfast, and to our surprise, we were the only customers at that hour. This was also before the opening hour for their adjoining clothing store 'Onion' so perhaps we were in between the breakfast and lunch crowds. After all, this is not a place dependant on usual foot traffic.
If you have space and time for only one dish, then the one to have is the grilled croissant. It is Da Bomb. The croissant is buttery, flaky, and comes with a house-made spicy tomato sauce added with minced pork and egg yolk, which you can dip the sliced grilled croissant in. It's soooo umami. It was so good we had to order a second bowl.
The scones with Greek yoghurt and pineapple jam is amazing too.
And what is a cafe without amazing coffee? The coffee here ticks the right boxes.
Just for that hour or so, we felt like we were back in Melbourne.
Oh... And the staff are pretty chill and a rather good looking bunch too!
