a hundred children...and some teak furniture

a hundred children

before going in, i had walked by "a hundred children" a couple times and always wondered, "what is this place and why is it called 'a hundred children.'" well, i at least know the answer to one of those questions: it's an "inspired chinese furniture store and coffee & tea corner."
it's a nice stop-in joint to get refreshed, with some (but not a lot) of seating, and i'm actually not sure how much of the seating/decor is for sale (i bet all of it); their second floor is all merch. they've got the standard coffee and espresso drinks, some pastries, and several chinese teas available, too. teas come in a set for two including a couple cookies and a full pot (150B), so sorry loners. i got one by myself and didn't feel one bit guilty about it. they'll also refill your hot water if you like.
bathroom definitely gets a mention. thick, rustic wooden doors that close by a giant plank you slide through (like an old castle). the toilet is completely rectangular and you retrieve your toilet paper from a terracotta, impish-looking child. and the sink faucet is a carved teak dragon head. i could spend all day in there.
i had to take a shot of something in the bathroom. it's too unique:a hundred children. sukhumvit soi 14. underneath the asoke BTS.
drinks between 60-150. operation mon-sat 9am-9pm
