Motion/Cloud, the Italian/western cafe, Alila Cha Am

Cloud is the open area section, Motion is inside air-con. section, offers Italian and int'l cuisine. In general, dishes are very reasonably priced and western food is better than Thai.

1. Table setting. 2. Beef strip sandwich, THB250. Tender beef filet and lots of veggie. Coleslaw is good too, and the potato wedges.
3/4. at night time.

5. Iced coffee THB120. Too bad it' s mixed with syrup and milk. 6. Grassini is good! 7. The waitress recommended to try their house-blended curry powder to go with the grassini. Very aromatic and not hot at all.
8. This is also good to go with the grassini - black/white sesame in olive oil. 9. Guava delight THB120. 10. Iced mocha THB120. Both are good. Not too sweet.

11. Warm soft bread with light touch of cinnamon. Good! 12. Mushroom soup. THB220. I like this one as it's not very thick but aromatic with fresh flour/butter into cream soup base.

13. Caesar salad with chicken breast THB220. Very nice to mix it on your own. 14. Smoked salmon spaghetti THB250. Pretty good, and not too heavy but juicy to seal it in the spaghetti.

15. dried shrimp and crushed peanut to go with pad thai. 16. Pad thai THB280. At average.

17. Orange juice for the breakfast. 18. coffee.

19. Breakfast is on a la carte. This one is soy milk with Chinese doughnut. 20. Fresh fruit plate.

21. toast for the American breakfast. 22. congee with pork. It's one of those instant congee mix.

23. American breakfast. 24. Kitchen burger for the lunch, THB290. Nice presentation and you can decide what sauce to go with.

25. Pad Si Er (stir fried flat noodle) with shrimp THB290. Pretty good. 26. Banana yoghurt shake THB150.

i love potato wedges

BTW, Peninsula's cafe does make some very nice potato wedges. So eating over there is ok.

take the MO boat to Pen, i am afraid the boat boy/fat lady may refuse, it is still safer to eat at Verandah if i need some coffee shop feast :-) hehe

Food looks better than those taken at Penn. At least the "look" is, but not sure about the taste.

That's the concern but to be frank, I think the Peninsula cafe is a bit better than Vernanda, except their budget breakfast which really ruins their overall image.

There must be at least something good at Pen; it better be.

Yes, at least countable. Good for guests to keep in mind. :)
