Specifically, the incredibly delicious American-style diner and bakery, Butter is Better. Walking in feels like taking a short trip back to America, which is quite nice (and rare) in Thailand.

For Christmas dinner, we shared a chicken plate with stuffing and gravy, a muffuletta, and a big bowl of macaroni and cheese.
