Renovated early this year, Double Dogs brings the very essence of China to Bangkok.

Teas focus on traditional Japanese and Chinese varieties, including sencha, gyokuro and matcha (green tea). Brewed in proper terracotta teapots (starting from B150), with plenty of tealeaves and not too much water. The results aren’t for the kiddies—this is for real tea drinkers.

The Chinese and Western desserts (B95 for a selection of four) include Lao-Huay (crispy fried rice roll drizzled with sesame seeds), fruitcake, banana cake, and Valencia orange cake.
