Brunch with Mark Twain at Cafe Claire, Oriental Residence, Bangkok.07.06.2012
Pornchita "Nut" Kotrapat serves breakfast at Cafe Claire
"Nothing helps scenery like bacon and eggs." So goes the famous quote by Mark Twain. But the scenery at Cafe Claire is not too bad as it is, bacon and eggs or not. The cafe sits on the ground floor of the Oriental Residence in Wireless Road, and has the greenery of the gardens of the American Embassy within view; whether Mark Twain would have approved we can only imagine. But he would almost certainly have approved of the generous breakfast menu. In fact, the cafe has intriguing selections for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. Words and photos by Paul Hutton, Bangkok Scene.
