Quote:

Segafredo’s entry to Thailand was relatively recent. I have met them in my hometown, their home country, a few European cities, the US and finally in Bangkok. That means I have visited them in many of the cities printed on their smart outer glass-walls in most of their branches and can say that by far, Segafredo is my favorite Italian coffee. Besides the superb coffee served there and their adherence to traditional Italian methods and produ...Read More

It is high time for a Tom Yam Kung, or Tom Yum Koong as is also spelled. On Spelling IssuesTransliterating ...Read More
