Pan Lee Bakery: Delicious Cookie Specialty Shop on Si Lom Road, Bangkok

Si Lom Road in Bangkok is a food haven, offering not only street food like roasted meats and pork congee but also a handmade cookie specialty shop called 'Pan Lee Bakery.' The logo features a little girl with a white background and red border, which from afar might be mistaken for a bubble tea shop, but up close, it's actually a bakery and American breakfast spot, with cookies being their main attraction. The cookies come in various flavors such as butter and chocolate, and in different colors like yellow and black. They are packaged in tin boxes tied with ribbons, making them perfect for gifts, though they are a bit pricey. For those just wanting to try them, you can buy them in plastic boxes. I bought a box of chocolate cookies, which were crispy and had a rich cocoa flavor, perfect for pairing with coffee for afternoon tea. The street shops on Si Lom Road have a lot of history, being close to the Chao Phraya River, which led to early development and a large Chinese community. The street houses themselves are also old and full of character. Pan Lee Bakery's walls are adorned with black and white photos from the past, and the interior features wooden structures and vintage decor, giving it an old-fashioned charm. You can also have breakfast in the shop while quietly enjoying the bustling street view.
