COFFEE BAR — PHUKET, THAILAND

A little cosy cafe in Phuket for your daily dose of coffee and healthy protein-rich breakfast. You must visit the breakfast place if you are in Phuket.

It's a fantastic place with live music performances. The restaurant offers a great combination of tasty food and a friendly staff.

It's a good place for dinner with all the glamorous lighting and music.

STREET FOOD — THAILAND

1. Okonomiyaki
   Although it’s a famous Japanese street food, it was a must-have dish for someone like me who has never been to Japan. Okonomi means “how you want it,” okonomiyaki is one of the world’s most infinitely adaptable dishes. The shredded or chopped cabbage in the base is a given, but beyond that, you can add whatever you’d like to the batter.
2. Shabu-Shabu
   This Japanese hot pot dish features thinly sliced beef or pork simmered in a savoury broth with assorted vegetables, delivering vibrant and flavorful bites that both comfort and delight. Choosing the right one can be daunting in Krung Thep Maha Nakhon (Bangkok), where numerous Shabu Shabu restaurants abound.
   Here are my three picks from Bangkok —

• #1 KATANA SHABU & JAPANESE DINING
• #2 AKIYOSHI SHABU SHABU
• #3 KAGONOYA SHABU SHABU

Happy café hopping!
