Hong Xiang Gong is another shop that just opened early this month. The shop’s name comes from “Hong”, the father’s name, and “Xiang Gong”, which is the beloved old neighborhood in Talad Noi. It was renovated from a centuries-old house but still preserves the original Chinese style. The pillars and beams are in the ancient Chinese style. The front of the shop is painted in blue, contrasting with the red shop sign, making it stand out. The garden behind the house is wide and deep to the riverside. It is divided into an air-conditioned area and a garden area. There are many types of tables to choose from. All the tables and chairs are vintage items, and antiques that are from 10 years old to 100 years old. On the house’s second floor, there is a gallery of antiques that are hundreds of years old for you to see.
The riverside area is natural, with hundreds of years old trees, outdoor tables and chairs in many styles, a good atmosphere with a breeze by the Chao Phraya River, and a place to sit and watch the sunset. There are many corners to sit and sip coffee, meet up to discuss work, or take pictures. We recommend signature drinks such as TaladNoi Orange Coffee, a refreshing orange coffee, and Sieng Kong Pudding Tea, a mixed tea similar to ginger tofu pudding. Topped with Tofu, Coconut Blossom Coffee, and Sparkling Red Peach Tea. The bakery menu includes Raspberry Tartlet, Plain Croissant, and the signature menu Toobtub ice cream. Although the shop has only been open for a short time, with its unique design, which maintains the old Chinese-style house and the view of the Chao Phraya River, people have been coming into the shop steadily. If you don’t come now, you might have to wait several months.
