An afternoon with Laurie.

This is the flagship store of KarmaKamet, well known for it's aromatherapy and fragrance products, this particular branch comes with a restaurant. This place is a well tucked secret that is best known to locals or those that live here long enough.

As soon as I stepped into the vicinity of KarmaKamet diner, I felt at home. Its a beautiful sanctuary right in the middle of busy Bangkok that makes a great place for a get away lunch on a busy day. The tranquil setting of the garden against the soothing scent from the perfumery is just relaxing.

No, it's not an orphanage but rather a grown-up-live-size doll house café that serves some of the best scrumptious cakes in town. 

Everything in here, reminds me of Alice in Wonderland, with all the cakes covered in glass covers, silently screaming 'Eat Me', together with little tea cups from the Mad Hatter's tea party, this place is truly a huge doll house wonderland.

Hidden right in the heart of KL, this place has an old-school charm to it. Its on the corner of a row of old colonial houses. 

It's easy to miss, so do keep your eyes wide open.

Welcome to colonial British meets Shanghai. 

This two stores establishment sets a tone of classic romanticism in a modern setting. 

Long story short, I fell in love with the place.

Coffee… What can I say? 

I'm in a little piece of paradise with a wonderful selection of local coffee. The ambience is raw, clean and a little playful. Its raw in terms of the use of material. Feels like they intentionally put together furniture they found at a recycling center together with pieces that they have tailor made for the cafe.
