Thailand: Bangkok's Animal Cafe

Bangkok loves animal and especially those exotic type. Nowadays, these animal cafes are getting quite popular and each one offer different experience and animals.

We went to The Animal Cafe at Le Raffles Sathupradit 19, Bangkok. This cafe mainly focuses on feline animals and some few other exotic animals like fennec fox, raccoon and owl. There is no entrance fee but they do require guests to spend money on the food and drinks in order to allow you to play with the animals.

This cafe is strict on its hygiene with the animals; when you want to play with the exotic animals you have to wash your hands (they will ask you every time), take off your shoes and they will restrict the number of guests inside the room each time. The staffs are patient and helps with photo-taking poses, that is if the animal corporate. 

Food-wise they are quite good for a cafe that seems like focuses more on the animals and relatively not expensive on the whole experience we are getting. Worth spending a lunch meal here. You even get cats as your companion while having your meal as they wander around the whole cafe.

Shanghai: all about food in Disneyland

First of all, this is not a review about the famous Royal Banquet Hall dining located in the Disneyland's castle. We didn't have the time to try it this time round and at that price of 3 course meal we wanted to experience it at the fullest.

Instead, we tried a lot of kiosk snacks around the park and, in a way, skipped a proper lunch meal. However, we did have dinner plus dessert at the cafe. So here are the list of food we ate and our verdict. 

Turkey Leg at Treasure Cove

As per other Disney parks tradition, there is the tasty huge turkey leg! I read they only sell 4,000 units per day. The kiosk opened around 10am on the day we went, which I am not sure is it their daily opening time (check the Shanghai Disney app for details). 

Stitch Corn Dog
We found this corn dog snack near the Tomorrowland area and you won't miss it cause they practically only sell this. The Stitch decor is edible but a bit chewy. Overall, a regular corn dog but with a cute picture on it for the gram.

Peking Duck Pizza

This was our dinner at the Pinocchio Village Kitchen in Fantasyland. The peking duck sauce could be a bit overwhelming but overall quite tasty and we managed to finish it. We even added money to exchange for a souvenir cup. 

A tip, the dining halls inside the park is very limited and some closes early. A possible solution, with more variety and halal option, is to leave the park and head to Food Republic at Disneytown. As long as you have the ticket, you can re-enter the park and continue the fun! 

Christmas tree cupcake (seasonal)
While waiting for the firework show, it was getting cold during December weather, so we headed into the Remy's Patisserie at the Mickey Avenue (aka Main street) to search for some dessert. We got this green tea Christmas tree cupcake and a regular chocolate chip cookie (nothing special so no picture).
