This cafe is located just about 50m from our hotel - Eya Pool villa but it was always closed 😔 There wasn't any business hours displayed so we just tried our luck walking there a few times.
One day - Friday to be specific, we saw it open and was so happy. Even with the heat, it was cooling inside. We found out from the owners that they only open in the weekends. It was open on Friday that week as it was a public holiday. The owner's bungalow house is just right next to it. Suddenly I was inspired to open a weekend cafe. How cool is that?
It was a cozy and airy cafe. The food is simple yet delicious and affordable. Many tourists were also flocking the place too as unlike the beach front overly touristy restaurant, this cafe is so laid back with good food, pocket friendly and the owners were super nice too.

Looking for a decent meal in ChaÁm area was quite difficult. Even the beach front was quite with very, very few tourists. We had the first night driving along the very long road of ChaÁm looking for a restaurant but to no avail. We were hangry. Our GPS showed up several restaurants or cafe but they were either closed or have a bad reviews. This restaurant popped up in our GPS so we went for it.
We drove into a deserted and pitch black dirt road. It was pretty creepy as there wasn't any soul nor lights as we drove deeper. We thought that this was another lost cause when we saw some lights in the distance. YES! Among the darkness is Mr Pok's restaurant.
We parked our car right in front of the restaurant and it looked like half of Cha Am's tourists were here. Everyone was dining and drinking merrily. Some tourists looked like regulars. Mr Pok sat us down and lit up a mosquito coil under our table. We ordered and wandered around the garden filled with cute decor and plants. Mr Pok was busy attending to every table and chatting up with his patrons. We waited quite awhile for our food with our rumbling stomachs.
Food was super yummy and gave us the homely feel. The food portion was large for our appetite and so worthy. Mr Pok was super friendly and chatted with every table. He was like "Malaysia? We are neigbours!" We were so delighted that we told ourselves to be back again every night. (But we never did *again*...tsk tsk) A must visit if we go back to Hua Hin again.
