Exploring....

I had gotten information about a new pâtissier near my apartment on Twitter. I asked a friend if she wanted to explore it with me. Off we went.... ^_^

This shop is unique. The chefs are French, but have studied pastry making techniques to create Japanese inspired sweets. Cool!

Lucky money cats (these are widely seen in shops in Japan ...they are to entice customers into the store):

Inside, they had a huge selection of cookies, called macarons. You can read the various flavors by clicking on each photo:

We didn't buy anything, but just enjoyed looking. Fun. ^_^

This shop's name is Masatom (or Masatoni? -- the writing is not clear, sorry). Portico building 3F, Soi Langsuan. BTS Chitlom. Prices from 35 baht. (¥100/ $1)

  1. I'm glad to read Japanese culture is loved by many people. In these pictures, there are many things that familiar with the Japanese such as lucky money cats, yuzu flavored cookies,etc.

  2. Hi Takao,

    In Thailand, Thais seem to really love all things Japanese or Korean. There is a big Korean Idol boom here, so Korean music is quite popular. But Japanese cars, goods, and especially, food can be found quite readily.

    The shop with the chicken had many things imported from Japan. ^_^

    How about Canadian culture? Is it loved by the Japanese? (laugh)
