| | | This
is a brilliant effort and well worthy of your support so get down there... Today! | | | 5-year
veteran of Thailand Sel and his girlfriend Rong have set up what we think is a
genuinely nice place. It's early days yet, but it's already great. Sel's objective
was to create a place where 'locals and travellers can meet to have a good meal,
take in a decent movie, listen to some great sounds and sing a song if they feel
like it.' He already seems to have achieved this - Sabah is a cozy little place
just 10 minutes walk from Khao San Road. | | | The
menu covers foreign food that's a cut above the rest. Thai food is also readily
available. The breakfast is a great example... REAL sausages, REAL bacon and REAL
scrambled eggs and omelets to name a few alongside a cup of premium REAL coffee!
The rest of the menu checks out easily as well - they even make their own sugar
free bread! Sabah has a MP3 jukebox with about 5000 songs, but if that's not enough,
bring in your USB drive and play your own music. In the evening the relaxed cafe
atmosphere phases into a lively venue to meet some locals over a few drinks. Live
music kicks of with the legendary entertainer Sontya at around 8pm and continues
too closing. "We had about 15 people in here the other night and not one left
without singing a song," beamed Sel. | | | The
bar is pragmatic - Singha (60 Baht - small bottle), Chang (50 Baht - small bottle),
and Heineken (70 Baht - small bottle).. If all this wasn't enough, upstairs there's
a chill zone for customers to veg and a full on cinema. Monty Python's - The Meaning
of Life, A Clockwork Orange, The Killing Fields, Super Size Me, Pulp Fiction and
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest fit in nicely alongside a smattering of Hollywood
blockbusters. The cinema seats 5, with a 3m screen, Z4 projector, surround sound,
lazyboys and regular daily screenings. If you come along 10-15 minutes after a
film was due to start and nobody has turned up, you can choose what you want to
watch and settle down. (Current
Schedule) | | | Fully
air-conditioned and excellent film quality, there are no half measures here...
This is a great place to watch some cult classics and the blockbusters you've
been missing while on the road. Contact Sabah using the form below. Opens all
day till late. |
