Tee Yok Coffee - Klongthom (Traditional Charcoal Toasts) @ Bangkok Chinatown [Thailand]

My planned itinerary for day three in Bangkok indicated breakfast at Chinatown but the place I wanted to visit had already sold out its food for the day (yes, it's that popular) and the backup option shall open for business only four hours later! 

That's when Google Map came into play; a search on eateries near me, resulted in a list of eateries. The one that caught my attention was Tee Yok Coffee - Klongthom, with a good rating of 4.3 from over 150 reviewers.

Instead of conventional foldable tables, the tabletops were straddled on top of real motorcycles! I wonder how much work goes into ensuring they are stable; the practical, efficient man in me would have invested in foldable tables. Nevertheless, it's unique and that, as a factor, can attract customers. 

No kopi for me as we already had in the hotel; main aim was the charcoal toasted bread, of which there were ten different filling  and / or topping, and each set consisted of two slices of bread.

Iced Black Tea - I still needed a drink though as the weather was hot! Like more drinks in Thailand, this was too sweet but the chill from the ice was so welcoming! I saw on the menu that there were beverages like red syrup, green syrup, which should be just coloring right?

Our order - one Toast with Sugar and another Toast with Condensed Milk, both claimed to be popular according to the young lady who took our order. At 20 and 22 baht, pricing was, simply put, wallet friendly. 

Furthermore, it's two satisfying slices of thick toast. In Singapore, they would sometimes slice into half and that supposedly one thick slice would make up for one set. So how did these toasts at Tee Yok fare?

Bread grilled over charcoal had a nice, smoky aroma and these toasts here had that warm, lightly crisp texture that went perfect with the thin, even spread of unassuming butter and sprinklers of sugar. Old school and so tasty! Kids would likely prefer the condensed milk toast for its yummy creaminess. 

In all, a comfortable breakfast that Singaporeans / Malaysians would enjoy. Now, I saw this pot of tea on the table. It's refillable for my black tea? I should ask my Thai friend to come along next time!
