Fig Cafe and Nong Bua Seafood Restaurant, Koh Chang

This nice cafe is tucked away in a small street about 100 meters from the main beach road in Kai Bae. There are a few dining seats inside the cafe, however, I prefer a lot bigger open space in their backyard. This cafe offers great selection of vegetarian snacks and dishes as well as hot and cold drinks.

I totally recommend their vegetarian pie. The flaky buttery pastry was absolutely delicious and paired with flavoursome filling. We only ordered two dishes between four of us and they are all gone in a flash.

Really good iced coffee with extra shot

There is a saying that "You haven't been to Koh Chang if you haven't tried their seafood". Of course, you are in an island where you can get the freshest seafood produces possible. One of the very famous restaurants in the area is called Nong Bua Restaurant. The setting looks really good. It replicates a beach hut. Although on a summer season, it could be a little steamy hot to sit outdoor and that small fan won't be much help but otherwise, you will feel privacy.

I forgot what this dish is called. But what I clearly remember is the taste of this dish. It was absolutely wonderful. Deep fried wonton wrappers topped with minced pork, garlic, onions and chilli. It was well balanced in both flavour and texture.

On the second floor, it is a nice simple-looking cafe. We had a few sweets after our meal. It is an air-conditioned room, very cool and cozy. They serve some ice-cream cones as well which is great in a extremely hot day.
