Bangkok Trip Day 2

Breakfast Time! We woke up almost 8am every morning. After lazing around on bed and washing up, we headed down for our breakfast. I was wondering how it will taste for our first morning at Bangkok...

American Breakfast Set 1, toast, jam and tea. With..

Scrambled egg, saugages and ham! Wow.. satisfying!

Dear Dear's omelette. At Samran place, there is no breakfast buffet style as it is a small hotel. While munching through our food, we realised that there is this practice. The Chinese are usually the ones who will wake up extremely early to start their day. And the later ones will be the Westerners.

We both agreed that the toast with jam was really good!

My face was as white as a sheet. I am missing the food real badly!

At the entrance. Him.

Me :) Yes. I was in my sleeping pyjamus. haha..

Dear Dear with his vintage coke drink at our massage place.

We chosen this which is located around the Asia Hotel where we found good reviews on this on the net. We decided on foot massage which costs 100 Baht each. Which means SG$4 +. I thought my masseur was not that good. She wore super low cut blouse which led me to think that perhaps thats why she did not want to give me a good service. She preserves her energy for the MEN. haha.. These were the thoughts that came across my mind. Dear Dear's one was an auntie. Very professional lo..

Still cannot be compared to SG's Far East Plaza second floor's Thai massage. But I must say its really cheap at Bangkok.

Look, he is just like a kid. Oh well, he has never seen the BTS train even he last stepped foot on Bangkok since 17 years ago. Understandable. haha..We walked around MBK to find the Dim Sum which cost only SG$0.50-$0.60.

And the famous shop is call Mr Meng!

If you have trouble looking for it which one of my friends complained, look for this mascot outside the shop. I was quite sad on the first day when we came to look for it as it was closed early for dinner. We looked at the notice pasted but it was in Thai and ended up we ate at Yum Saap Thai Restaurant which is just beside it. These 2 popular restaurants are located along the shopping path towards Tokyu Shopping centre. So, imprint this info into your brain system!

The menu. The most expensive dim sum is only in 22 Baht! Oh my god.. And Dear Dear was shocked and happy with such good treats.

We had fish maw soup, (the soup base was hot and thick!) custard buns, har gow, siew mai, fried dumplings..and there is this delicacy I must introduce.

The chrysanthemum tea is a must try! A little bland with sweetness staying on your taste buds. They put in lots of herbs to boil such a good stuff out. Oh manz.. There is nothing like this in SG alright. Even if there is, it sure cost a bomb. But here, you get it with reasonable price.


"Wa!.." hehe..gluttony..

At the new Shopping centre, Central World.


The shrine outside Central World. We walked through the markets and "whacked" the Platinum again. This time, we came up with a strategy route to conquer the big mall. Dear Dear said there were around 2000 shops inside. haha.. Shopping was great for the both of us as we need a change and topping up of Chinese New Year clothes. However the sad thing was Bangkok was not like before. Slashing of prices were difficult unless you are buying in wholesale. Else they will just ignore you and entertain the other customers. So sad! but its still cheap as compare to buying in SG la. Even at SG's bugis street ok. Because you cant get the same item at bugis street.

After the whole afternoon battle with shopping, we took a rest at the basement and enjoyed our crepes. The crepes was crispy and we had pork floss, ham and chocolate as ingredients. hehe..

I encouraged him to take a tuk tuk ride to hotel and unload our goods. Its 17 years ago la!.

We headed down to Suan Lum Night Market for food and shopping again. But this time round, shopping was far too expensive and unreasonable. Food was still alright and ex too. Suan Lum has changed ever since 3 years ago I went. The flyer was gone too. Happy faces of the stall holders were gone too... How time flies..

And this is our loots of second day. Anticipating the third day!
As usual, I am drooling at this hour to blog about food! Argh..

Bangkok Trip Day1

All right! Here I am, finally blogging on the days at Bangkok from 19th Jan 2010 to 22 Jan 2010. Right up, our first day, it began at Singapore airport, Terminal 1.

Before boarding at 7.15am, we feed on God's words for us.

At Terminal 1 Killiney Kopitiam. I thought this photo was the sweetest from all the photos taken during this trip. Even Dear Dear agrees.

When we reached our hotel, we saw this on the ceilling. So Dear Dear was excited to pose, it was his first time taking such photo pose. :P

Are you ready for the food? Yeah I know you are.


Lunch at Pizza Company. We were very hungry after 3 hours flight. Hence, we rushed down to one of the malls which is Siam Square and took Melissa's recommendations to try Pizza Company. We took the promotion set for 2. There is Rose Syrup Scallop Spaghetti,

Drumlets and Wings..

Tropical Ham pizza, there is pineapples, crabsticks and ham in it. With all these inclusive 2 soft drinks, the price is only 299 Baht for 2 persons! Which means, SG$13 for 2 and SG$6.50 for 1! Oh my god.. And the taste was great! Cheese that melts in your mouth and the crust was not as hard as Pizza Hut's. Really you cant give this a miss.

"How come so nice?!" :D

After fulfilling our stomach, we went visiting. My poor boy looked at how Bangkok has changed after 17 years...

Chinese New Year Decorations at Siam Paragon.

Outside Zen Plaza.



Outside Platinum Fashion mall.

Met my friend, Melissa the great introducer to BKK shopping and dinning!

Visited her hotel named Budacco. Its a new cosy hotel which is located right smack at the hearts of Baiyoke Garment Shopping and markets. A nice and cheap accomocdation with only 10 mins walk to Platinum too. Check it out at http://www.budacco.com/

After hours of shopping at Platinum Fashion Mall, we rested our feets at Swensens. We ordered fondue for 2 to try out. The price was SG$6+. But the chocolate and ice cream tasted far from SG's. However the ambience was great.

But I would still suggest to you to think twice before stepping in.

Dinner was at MBK's Yum Saap Thai Restaurant at Level 5. We had Seafood Stir Fried Noodles,

Fish Steak with fried rice and chicken soup set. Adding on with Chrysanthemum tea. Guess what? The whole 2 sets cost only 160 Baht! SG$7 for 2 and SG$3.50 for 1. :P

Our dinner just taste more than cheap and great. hehe..

Our loots for Day 1.

Oh my.. its really a torture to blog at such an hour on food. I miss the cheap and yummy food at Bangkok!

I have gained not lost..

I have gained 5 kg since last year I joined my job. Guess its due to the regular stress and irregular working hours. I need to exercise!

Ever since I saw how my Laopo slimmed down tremendously, man, I am totally inspired by her. She is really a good model. I admire her determination!

So since 3 weeks ago I started jogging and I increased my swimming laps every Sunday with my big brother :) When results did not show up, I approached Vinz and Zhenni for help. I asked if its due to my irregular late sleeping hours. And the answer is YES. Oh man, no way I am going to waste my efforts into the drain due to late sleeping hours! Hence I changed slowly from 3am to 2am and to 1am. Now? I am trying for 1230.

This week?I have lost 2 kg! yeah!

Shall keep up the good work.

Its a new blog new entry. Allow me to say my prayers to him.

"Heavenly Father, give me the wisdom and determination to slim down even further. I want to look good and confident. Tonight, I want to also help the broken souls around me to pray for healing powers. Heal their tired heart, give them new strength and wash away their sorrows. let them know they are always loved and they are never alone, never too small or too far away from happiness. Remind them that today they may fall, but tomorrow they will rise again feeling refreshed for new hopes and new future. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen!"
