Back when Galaxy Tailor was located near Asoke MRT, i had highlighted its convenience but the issue then was that if i had to wait (for the delivery of my tailored shirts etc); there's no nearby cafe.
No such issue at Galaxy Tailor's new outlet opposite Amari Residence as you can just step into the Buttercup cafe that's literally a stone's throw away!
Decked out in plush sofa chairs, the furniture was spaced out well without that tight, claustrophobic feeling i get from many cafes. Additional advantage - full blast air-conditioning that's an absolute welcome in the hot and humid Bangkok weather.
As we already had dinner at Pier 21 food court in Terminal 21 (Asoke), our intention was just to order finger food, desserts and maybe a beverage or two.
Hot Chocolate - Alex's order; he has a tendency to order hot chocolate whenever he's at a cold place. Anyway, this was average and will do to warm Alex's tummy in the chilly eatery.
French Fries - the popular choice for many people, especially when they couldn't decide what to have! The garlic mayonnaise you see is charged separately at 30 baht.
Crispy and fresh from the boiling oil, the French fries were good on their own and i am glad we opted to pay the 30 baht as the taste was augmented by the fragrant, delectable garlic mayo!
Apple Crumble - since Refuel 2, i had been craving for apple crumble but it's not commonly found in most cafes and furthermore, i am pretty homely and don't really patronize cafes unless i am overseas.
Baked in a cup, the apple crumble was served by a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream and a serving of vanilla sauce. This cost 180 baht which i thought is pricey for Bangkok's standard of living.
Let's be conservative with the vanilla sauce!
If you look closely, you can actually see the vanilla seeds!
This was delish! While the vanilla sauce added a layer of sweetness to the hot crumble; it was balanced out by the sourness of hidden underneath! Personally, i found the apple to be a tad too sourish for my liking although i know of people who totally dig sour stuff.
