Voodoo Cafe: The Enchanting Place in Nongchok

I usually teach business English conversation, and ESL classes on Saturdays, from 12 noon to four in the afternoon. Surprisingly, my students (a family of four) suggested changing the venue of our tutorial classes to Voodoo Cafe on the 18th of February (Saturday). It was my first time visiting the place, so I had no idea what was in there. They picked us up from our place.

The restaurant ambiance is fascinating, elegant, and has positive vibes. It's perfect for pictorials (weddings, birthdays, friendship bondings, and family reunions. The garden's landscapes are captivating. We went to a private air-conditioned room, a house on a raft, which has an additional room service charge (for an hour). The dining room that we got is a raft in the middle that can accommodate 6-8 people. We're actually 6 (4 students + Me and my kid). It feels like home and very nostalgic, for me. It's a little far from my place. To get there, I'll need to take a cab and the downside is that the taxi is difficult to find. Perhaps, online booking might be great(?) Going back home, I paid 120 Thb for the taxi. My overall rating is 9/10. 

The room was neat and clean and the food servers were hospitable, respectful, and easy to talk to. The food that we ordered was delivered fast and the presentations look exquisite. The tastes were so delightful.

We ordered a lot of food for late lunch: bake beef lasagna, padthai, shrimp, truffle mushroom, ham and cheese pizzas, chocolate layered cake, and green beef curry. We actually tasted everything as we shared our food on our plates (with serving spoons, of course, 😏). As we were having lunch for more than an hour, we also had basic English conversations with the family (my students). They felt at ease learning with us. Last week was at Chonlatte Cafe (I'll talk about it later😆.

I guess we're just so lucky to have them as sponsors for our lunch in the past two weeks already. They enjoyed our chatting and our presence. I was encouraging them to order food in English😅 But, they said later because they need more practice in speaking. The total cost of our meal was quite expensive but worth it. My rating for food is 10/10.

After our meal and a few walks, we went to the Brave Horse which is actually on the side of the fence.

The horses are super cute. There are two horses who have different eye colors (dark brown and blue). Sofia was riding a brown horse named "Jacky". They charge for the ride by the hour.  

It was an amazing Saturday. I didn't even feel that I was actually working🤓 I got paid for two hours, had free lunch, and free horseback riding (for Sofia). It was indeed a work + fun day!😊  It is a restaurant that is suitable for everyone in the family.

Reposted: My Blessings💕

Edit: I did some reorganization on my main blog and decided to move it to my post instead of my page. As I was doing so, I came across this post about my blessings. It was before I got pregnant with Sammy, who is now incoming to Grade 6 this year (2023). I thought of moving this here to look more organized.

To have a family is indeed a blessing. It is something that we cannot buy because it's precious and priceless. My family means the world to me.

This was our photo souvenir of the first Christmas party that we attended this year (2010). He is a camera-shy guy so I grabbed this opportunity to have this photoshoot with him because I knew he won't.. but, he couldn't refuse the offer (laughs).

This is my mom and my two kids. The first pic together was taken at DSWD Central Office in Quezon City. We visited her then for her birthday dinner with us after office hours. She had no idea that we were coming to see her when we arrived. It was a surprise trip  ;)
