Tucked in a corner of Rampoeng Village away from the bustling urban life in central Chiang Mai is Enough for Life. I walked over within 5-10 mins from Baan Kang Wat, a popular charming art village home to a community of local artists.
The space serves multiple functions – as a Bed and Breakfast on the second floor which you can book directly on their website or via AirBnB, a store selling vintage trinkets, and a café. The accommodation also comes with a private pool with guest-only access.
With the many different aesthetic corners you could find here, it’s no wonder that both locals and tourists go a little out of the way to explore the café and shop. I particularly loved the mishmash of vintage furniture and purposefully placed decorative items.
The café menu was lean, with just 3 cakes and several drink options available. Out of the carrot cake, lemon cream cake, and tiramisu cake, I had the Tiramisu Cake (THB160, SGD6.3). Unlike the usual Italian tiramisu I was expecting, their version was simpler, made with cake dipped in espresso, layered with whipped cream and flavoured with cocoa. With the lack of mascarpone and ladyfingers, it felt more like a chocolate and cream sponge cake rather than a tiramisu. I also wished that the cake could be more soaked with espresso.
I also had the Café Latte (THB75, SGD3) to pair with the cake – take note that there are no alternative milk options here.
While there was outdoor seating, I took respite in the well air-conditioned indoor area where I could just idle my time away,thinking how the name of this place was so apt. Enough for Life.
