red for Birthday

We went to the Flame for dinner last Friday. The outlet located on Jalan Bagan Jermal.

Soup Base : Fish Bone Ginger Milk and Szechuan Taiwan. Kimchi is a good choice if it suits your taste butts. We found the Sze Chuan Taiwan overly stuffed with Cinnamon Sticks. Ginger milk is nice.


Combo 1 :MYR39 that can accomodate 4 persons if you are a light eater. They offered us a plate of Birthday Noodle and crystal prawn for free. So in the end 3 of us were stuffed full.


Black Forest Cake for her


Up close: Black Forest Cake from Ritz Prima Tanjung Penang

Discovery in land of Thai

Sawatdee Khrab by Ronald

I go drool whenever i see the fruit stalls in Thailand. Look at the Bali Pineapples.


Local Thai Strawberries for Sale. Not very sweet but edible.


Koay Chap is famous in Chinatown. This is the one we tried on the 1st night.


This Koay Chap is the one we tried on the 2nd Night. My mom love them so much. Until today she misses them lots.


Coconut Milk Glutinous Rice with Mango...yummylicious


Local Thai Desserts. One of it is the Water Chestnut with Coconut Milk called "thad thim krop". I hope the spelling is right. and another one is so much more yummy than the former which i duno what it is called. Hehee...not much information of the name here but go to the food court in MBK centre. There are 2 desserts stalls. You can find all sorts of local desserts there.


Thai Style "taufufah" with "yu tiao". The syrup is made from black sugar and ginger.


The most disgusting thing on earth i ever seen. silkworms i think...my mum was this close to trying it....and next to it is the grasshopper. Apparently my friend said it's delicious. *gross*


Coke bottle Thai Version

Pork Knuckles Rice.

Bangkok - Day 6 to 8

We reached Bangkok on the 5th day of the trip.
This pic was taken in the hotel room overlooking the Chinatown. *my mom's room*


Chinatown in the morning.


The wet market in Chinatown


Thai Airway's HQ in Bangkok


dtac HQ in Bangkok. One of their telco provider in Thailand.


Zen - A shopping Centre. A whole strecth of road just like the Bukit Bintang Area in KL houses the World Trade Centre, The Paragon and the MBK Centre.


The four 4 faces Buddha is also located on this strecth and it's the busiest road.







It's accessible via City Link and the 4 faces Buddha is next to the famous boutique Burberry and opposite it is LV .


At the Chathuchak Weekend Market.



There are a lot of things on sale, all affordable ranges from food to clothing to furniture and plants and to pets.

Can you spot the look-a-like Lesportsac bag?


The telco provider is promoting the packages. Quite interesting


What do you think this is?


Deng Deng.....It's Thai Style Air Cream. I dont know how they did it...but they took out the stick and dip it into the flavours and here it is ta da..


Rabbits

Doggies..


and tortoise too...


We went to this place near the seaside called Bae Sat i think. They sell things ranges from dried cuttlefish to glutinous rice in bamboo.


a long stretch of a few 10 stalls selling similar local products.


the glutinous rice in bamboo


this is it...and it's absolutely yummy. 1 for RM1. Very very cheap.


there are a lot of those markets in Thailand. One of it was the Chathuchak that i mentioned which is only on during the weekends. The Suan Lum Night Bazaar as the name suggest is on every night. The things are not as affordable as those in Chatuchak and there are nothing much to see. Chatuchak is definitely the best place for everything.



Well if you catch a train from Penang to Bangkok, this is where the train will stop at. The Main Railway Station Bangkok.


At the Menam Chao Phraya.


Buddhist Temple along the Menam Chao Phraya.


and 4 to 5 stars hotel along the Menam Chao Phraya
