Favourite haunts

When your under the weather going to a favourite restaurant, where you know you will get a tasty soup, is the best option.  I enjoyed a bowl of Japanese Pumpkin Soup, hubby had the more satisfying Minestrone soup. Hubby also enjoyed an Italian beer.  The restaurant, which is usually busy, was very quiet.  The owner is hoping that things will pick up as Christmas approaches, although the strong baht is not helping.  

My shot is looking over towards the indoor kitchen.
