| Mooban Talay, 7h30 in the morning, December, 2020 |
The next day we were to find out how this resort really worked. In the morning we tried the big pavilion for breakfast and found that our coveted chef was not in residence.
The big pavilion was a vast open restaurant which could not rival the cozy atmosphere of the fairy lights we had eaten under the night before. And although the Thais try to please with their sausage, bacon and egg breakfasts, they do much better with fish than they do with pork. Perhaps we should have ordered Thai breakfast for when we found out that the offered coffee was instant, we knew how spoiled we had become. We vowed then to find our own breakfast the following day.
And we did find it ...a few minutes away on the main road was Juliette's Cafe. It was cozy and intimate and had good coffee, eggs and even coconut waffles if you were up for it. There was also a strange menu of "toasts", some with the popular condensed milk dessert as a topping. Juliette was charming, shy and without English...which always gave us a fun chance to interact with pointing and gestures.
It was from her that I bought my banana dress and a few other clothing items for less than a dollar each. On a shelf inside she was running a second hand clothing store .... all of the good quality items mysteriously in petite sizes.
