Saladaeng Cafe by Jim Thompson BKK

Unexpectedly a very old photo, over 10 years ago, showed up and at that time my Sharp digital camera only had a 640x480 pixel resolution (photo 1). I always recall how the Moo Yang was served on a cutting board and it was so juicy and aromatic. This cafe has been renovated over 5-6 times and it's still one of my favourite choices for bringing some friends for some half local/int'l Thai cuisine. Personally as in the cooking technique and ingredients used, I prefer Saladaeng Cafe to the other local authentic Thai restaurants. The latter ones are usually either pretty salty/sweet and/or in a slow-heat cooking. At a recent visit, this restaurant is still better than its original shop at Jim Thompson, and most of all I brought my best friends to visit here.

Actually the photo was taken by you. That's the golden time of Saladaeng Cafe with a big lotus pond outside, but now they put a big projector for some football live. So reality is reality.

i also like the Saladaeng Cafe in the old days, more homey and home-cooking style food than today's ..

but the good thing is, if they don't change, ppl don't hv memory, esp. good memory .. *_*

That's the common human behaviour that we will miss something that we got it once, but if it's the same thing we can get it daily, we wouldn't miss it.

I saw your shirt on photo one Mickey.

That is the theory of "diminishing marginal return" - The more you eat the food, the less marginal return and joy from that food.
