Mandarin Oriental cake shop and cafe, Emporium BKK

Happy to see the restaurants are moving around and taking their new locations on the top floor of Emporium.  MO takes the place of the Piri chicken restaurant, with a better view to the hall of Emporium.  Though some said MO's cherry pie isn't much like a pie, I like it as it is in a very classic recipe that it's not about the butter crust aroma and the super sweet cherry.  Their iced mocha is still the best and so far only the one at Paul Central Embassy can be compared in BKK.

When I checked the prices of Kuppa Deli (the opposite shop), it's ranged around THB250-300 for a cake, vs MO's THB150-200.

That is why I like MO.
Good food, good service, good environment with reasonabe price.

BTW, their mocha is even cheaper than SB and many other coffee chain shops. Just like Cova in HK, their mocha is cheaper than SB. However, still quite many people would just look at the outside, and think.

Cannot believe Cova mocha drink is cheaper than SB.
Yes we cannot assume and judge by its name or appearance or outside.
MO and COVA do price themselved very reasonably for the good quality and service they deliver.

In fact, with those chain shops having those card membership, you have to play with their game. Otherwise, you are paying more for your food/drinks. Those so-called reward points are counted in the cost. That means extra admin cost and so it will be reflected on the pricing. So if you don't have the membership, you are paying more. That also means you don't pay less even if you have the membership.

You are so right and correct.
Even if you have taken all the advantage and think you "gain" something, in fact you just get what you have prepaid already.
Hard to outsmart the business men.
