宅男潜伏期

心里觉得自己的决定是对的,但心情依然沉重!应该是一件十分开心的事情,却总有些犹豫,心头并不十分踏实。要做真正的宅男啰!有宅之男,恐怕以后日子难熬咧~

有了屋子,没了银子的感觉并不好受!心里没了份安全感。开销上也要省一省啰!要继续做个打工仔啰!或者酱讲,抱负与家人之间,我还是选择家人优先。

大致上事情也进行的超乎想象的顺利!有点不能相信!不会出什么岔子吧!好恐怖的感觉!可能这只是“前宅男”潜伏期,过了就没事啰!万事俱备,东风呀东风,别出岔子呀!

Shopping Bangkok

The major purpose, the motive, the objective, the ultimate goal, the indestructible desire for the trip.. Eat! Shop! And 叹!Woolala!!

1451_20100115_058_Bangkok

This is the shopping part of the trip..

Suan Lum and Silom night market were just the appetizer!^^

First began from Siam Paragon and Zen, the contagious virus of desire started to haunt and reached its climax at Platinum.. which the whole control system was paralyzed soon after!! @.@

1453_20100115_072_Bangkok

Must feature this Build-A-Bear Workshop in Zen!!

A place where you can make and customize your bear!! From picking the skin to clothing, accessories..

1450_20100115_056_Bangkok

Sweeping all nearby night markets, Chatuchak, MBK.. and still felt like not getting enough..

Wey, so rush mer~ Not enough time to shop more ler~ @.@ though the limitations of space and weight was already an issue.. Size does matter! If not because I couldn’t find some right sizes for me, I would have more achievements.. Size issue still exists.. Thai sizes are generally smaller!

1452_20100115_063_Bangkok

A place that we missed, the annual Silom Festival.. where stalls occupying the whole Silom Road!!

1454_20100118_003_Bangkok

Due to the Ayuthya’s plan which was failed eventually, I missed the gang to Siam Discovery.. and some other famous shopping malls in Siam area I guess..

But I’m not blaming you here at all, Foong!

Undeniable, we had great adventure to some of the places I had not visited before.. and the Khao San’s feel was great! Amazingly, I still can find some time to shop in Khao San!! Ha!

1455_20100119_028_Bangkok

Great Taste of Congee

We found it just few steps from our hotel, I Residence!! ^^V  A not-bad choice for breakfast!! @.@  Milk Jook, as the name suggests.. congee or rice porridge in a milky texture.. or should I say consistency?

1442_20100115_032_Bangkok

Even the 曼谷王 had paid his honour to this place! Look at all these compliments!!

1444_20100115_036_Bangkok

The boss is a Thai Chinese and is able to communicate in Chinese!  But still she made me ordered a sweet porridge which was more suitable to serve as a dessert! =.="

Our first meal there was quite a nice experiencing.. But frankly speaking, I think all congees served were a bit TOO MILKY lor~ Like 浆糊!! However, the taste was actually quite okay..

1441_20100115_030_Bangkok 1372_20100115_027_Bangkok

IMHO, the big Yao Zha Guai is more matching than the small ones..

1443_20100115_035_Bangkok

Snoopy was there too!! He should have left an autograph!!

1445_20100115_040_Bangkok

Foong & Me went there for the second time.. breakfast also! And I got to take back the previous comment of TOO MILKY!! The texture was just nice this time!! Great taste and nice texture.. with Yao Zha Guai.. the perfect match for congee.. Great!! ^^

Cozy House

曼谷回国后,一心想减一减。却无端端来了顿增肥的。。

Cozy House在GEM是不错的,食物跟价钱都可以!

这次点的,都值得推荐!班丹鸡,奶油苏东,和马来风光!

 

你们也来一顿“视觉”飨宴吧!


我的热巧克力!

T & K Seafood

There were few must-dos for the trip and this was one of them.. T & K Seafood in Yaowarat!

And once off the Tuk Tuk and walked into Thanon Yaowarat, the night view was just awesome with all the lighted signboards!

1433_20100114_023_Bangkok

Food street in the night? Does it mean that it’s better to begin the culinary trip at night?

And you won’t miss the green signboard of T & K and their green uniforms..  Still doubt whether you could find it? Just check which restaurant has the most tables extended into the street.. =.="

Certainly it’s famous among tourists and may be somehow among local Thais.

The menu is clear what food you may interested to treat your hunger.. And prawn or crab glass noodle seemed to appear on almost every table.

1436_20100114_040_Bangkok

Not bad!!

I found prawn glass noodle has always had more intense aroma than the crab version..

And for sure we won’t let go our first treat of Tom Yum in Bangkok..

 1435_20100114_035_Bangkok

Fish Maw Soup.. made of the swim bladders of fish, it’s nice!

1437_20100114_042_Bangkok

And many other delicacies..

1438_20100114_043_Bangkok

Veggies appeared to create a balance with all the great tastes from the sea..

1434_20100114_032_Bangkok

林真香, a famous souvenir shop of Chinatown for traditional snacks!

1439_20100114_052_Bangkok

Was quite satisfied with most of the order served except that I think they could do even better for the prawn and crab glass noodle pots. Gosh.. Wondering am I too demanding??
