I first found out about May's Garden House Restaurant from TripCanvas Thailand. As a Studio Ghibli fan, of course I had to go and check this cute little place out. We took a taxi from Chatuchak Weekend Market straight to Sukhumvit area. When we arrived, we took pictures with the signage. The restaurant was full but we were lucky that a table was almost done and they could accommodate us. We just had to wait a little bit. Some people who arrived after us were turned down. I would recommend making reservations if you want to eat there. I heard that they accept reservations via Facebook.
I immediately noticed that there were many Japanese people in the restaurant. I almost forgot that we were in Bangkok!
The restaurant has a small garden area and in the building they had a big Totoro plush on display. The whole place were decorated with Ghibli paraphernalia and they also played music from the movies. On the dining table they had Totoro tablewares set up.

The food they served were normal Thai food, and not really decorated in Totoro theme. They were delicious, though. They had very cute desserts, this one below was mango cheesecake. Yummy! Prices were a bit high but it was expected from any character restaurants.
We left the restaurant after lunch and walked to EmQuartier. On the way we passed this plant that looked like pineapples but it was the size of a cherry. I've never seen it before!
In Sukhumvit area I came across many foreigners, particularly Japanese people. I think that this was where they gathered. The EmQuartier mall was full of Japanese restaurants and cafes.
While my sister walked around the shopping mall, I stayed in the outdoor area to enjoy ice cream and some snacks. I tried ordering Hoegaarden but apparently there is a law in Thailand that you can't buy alcoholic beverages between 2 pm and 5 pm!
So that was our afternoon in Sukhumvit area! Please stay tuned for more!
