Finally the weather is sunny and warm enough to sit out in the garden for lunch and dinner.  I love using blue and white china and my Hmong fabrics from Chiang Mai!

I had Khao Soi for lunch today, bought from a street vendor.  This is one of my favourite northern Thai noodle dishes even though it really is quite spicy!

Squirreling About - Stockholm

This Sunday we visited a small café close to where we live (outside the city centre of Stockholm). We were just to lazy to go in to the centre and took the subway to station Midsommarkransen on the red line and had a lovely lunch at a café called "Ett skafferi". Translated in to English it would be something like "a Larder". I had a  vegetarian lasagne and my boyfriend tried the chevre and honey sandwich. Both tasted wonderful!

After hearing about Salad Concept from my dentist, my Thai teacher and several others living in Chiang Mai I figured it was high time to check this place out!  As it is located right on the middle of Nimmanhaemin road, it's the perfect place to stop for lunch after browsing the shops. 

Their concept is simple - you can either order from a menu or fill out a salad order form with your preferences.  Their salads are crispy fresh and come in generous portions.  They also have a selection of amazing smoothies, drinks and juices - I tried a B Berry smoothie and will definitely be going back for another soon!

Squirreling about - Chiang Mai

If you've ever spent a morning exploring Warorot market or an afternoon browsing the shops on Thapae Road you will most probably have come across Raming Tea House Siam Celadon and been tempted to look inside.  The house is a wonderful two story teak building constructed in 1915.  It has since been restored; the front part of the house is a shop that sells celadon in green and blue while the back part is a cafe/restaurant.   

Raming Tea House offers a large selection of teas that are grown on the Raming Farm in the Mae Taeng district of Chiang Mai.  My favourite is their cinnamon tea, although when I had lunch there the other day I treated myself to sherbert ice tea.  I just love sitting in this charming little garden!

Raming Tea House (not to be confused with Raming Lodge, which lies on Loi Khroh Road), is located on 158 Thapae Road.  It lies close to Warorot market, Nawarat Bridge and the Night Bazaar.

Went to the Kaew Nawarat branch of Bake & Bite for lunch today - it is one of my favourite places to eat.  They have a large selection of sandwiches, wraps and Mexican food, also wonderful breakfasts and homebaked treats.  Favourites include their cream-cheese and salmon bagel, spinach and mushroom quiche and honey lassi.  They also happen to have the most divine carrot cake to be found in Chiang Mai!  Enjoy! 

How to get there - although B&B lies tucked away right down the end of a small street, it is well signposted.  Turn right off Charoenrajd Rd at the Isuzu dealership if you are coming from the Nawarat Bridge direction, then follow the signs.
