Old-School Charm and Consistent Breakfast Quality
Hia Tai Kee offers a nostalgic breakfast experience with a simple but well-executed menu. The signature dishes, like the Kai-Kra-Ta with baguette sandwich, receive high praise for their consistency and perfect cooking, particularly the eggs. The setting takes you back to Bangkok's 50s-60s, providing a unique ambiance that many appreciate. While the coffee might not be as impressive, the overall experience and old-school charm make it a memorable spot for brunch. Some feel the prices are high for the quality, but the historical vibe and consistent food keep customers coming back.

Reviews Hia Tai Kee
The old-school vibe of Hia Tai Kee is its best feature. The egg and bread breakfast is consistently well-cooked, with runny eggs and perfectly toasted baguettes. However, the coffee was a bit of a letdown. Still, it's a charming place to start your day.
A visit to Hia Tai Kee feels like stepping into Bangkok's 50s-60s. The food is good but a bit pricey for what you get. The signature omelette with minced meat and little baguette is unique yet familiar. Overall, it’s a great spot for a nostalgic morning meal.
This quaint spot in Chinatown offers a blast from the past with its open facade and classic breakfast sets. While the Set 1 was decent, it didn't blow me away. I can't wait to return and try other sets. The iced Thai coffee is a must-try, though!
Hia Tai Kee takes you back in time with its old-school charm and simple breakfast offerings. The signature Kai-Kra-Ta with a baguette sandwich is cooked to perfection every time, though the coffee could use some improvement. The vibe is nostalgic and worth the experience.
Popular local spot for tea, coffee, and breakfast. Great place to sit and watch the city come alive.
One of the antique breakfast restaurants in the area.

Pad Thai Fai Ta Lu A Guide to the Best Street Food in Bangkok
The grilled meats at this spot are exceptional, with both the chicken and pork offering robust flavors. The chicken portion is quite generous, while the pork is incredibly smoky and flavorful. While the meats might overshadow the Pad Thai, the overall dining experience remains satisfying. Despite a higher price point compared to typical street food, the quick service during less busy times makes it a worthy stop.

Mulligans Irish Bar Bars We Love
During my vacation in Bangkok, I found Mulligans to be an excellent spot by local standards. The food and drinks, including Guinness, were impressive. Smoking is allowed at the bar, a contrast from back home in New York. While enjoying the lively scene, it's wise to stay responsible as the area can be a bit sketchy at times.
