2nd trip without parents with lee yan!
1st day:
Flight:
Tiger airways
0630 hrs - 0750hrs
it's our long overdue gals only trip together. The last one we went together was onboard Sun Cruise back in sec school. Not sure if you all remember... the cruise ship sunk during one of its voyages onto the sea bed~anyway back to bkk trip.
miss tan came n fetch me in cab and we headed to the Budget terminal at 430am in the morning! I could barely open my eyes @-@
anyway, 1st time at the budget terminal hoho, really budget, there was only 1 food outlet, but heng, it's Hans, so still not bad. We had our breakfast after our check-in... ermz can't rem what I ate (*this is the -ve pt on delayed blogging, cannot rem alot of things le!!*). after our hearty breakfast, we passed the immigration through the automated clearance, where u placed the passport on the machine, *tee* then presed ya thumb *tee* again and viola!! ! hee chopchop fast fast. if only it's for all airports around the world.
We were hanging around the Nuance Watson (DFS in airport) and we left with zip lock bags~~ haha
my earliest purchase! never buy stuff so early in the morning hee~~ 5am!:P
then it's snooze snooze on the plane le~~ -_-ZZZZZZzzz
we finally touched down in Bkk airport and hailed a cab at the departure hall. Heh, think cab fare was less than...350 baht + toll.
But boy, it's a weekday, plus we reached bkk at 8+.. super peak hour! we reached our hotel only at 9+ in the morning =(
hee but our hotel is very nice!!
Baiyoke Boutique
they just renovated it. the rooms are clean, beds comfy, near to pratunam market..
only letdown was,
the disparity between toilet and the room decor *scratch head*
and there were no nearby BTS station..which makes travelling @ peak hr.. headache
1st stop is pratunam market, within the 1st morning, I think both us of used up 1000baht each~~ gosh..
see my buys for the 1st day!
I love the electric blue sleeveless top~ woohoo! so comfy!
some of my other buys:
tailored shirts for min
(but sadly the tailor is not really that fantastic~ =< ) white bag for my mum (ermmz.. sadly my chor lor mum spoiled it.. haha)
thousands of earrings! the earring stand on the right is mine la! =)
and how can I forget..bangkok is a paradise for...
LINGERIE!!
and my loot was wrapped nicely in a pink wrapping paper~ by the Siam Paragon staff *grins*
but well... actually Tokyu at MBK is cheaper for the same brand same design cos they got promotion =(! but oh well, i went Siam Paragon 1st.. boohoo!
hee an of cos! how can greedy me not eat in this food paradise too!! :D~~~~~
jap food @ Fuji Restuarant in Central World (but i think Zen restaurant is better!)
but see the fat fat slices of salmon sashimi!
thInk at sakae sushi u can get ten pieces or more outta this plate! =P
wooo what are they q-ing up for????
hee it's crepes!! I
chose a chocolate banana one.
See how miss tan is totally brighten up from the tiredness of shopping =P by crepes!
for those interested, it's at MBK ah food court level =)
Greyhound Cafe
We also went to greyhound cafe for lunch! It was packed with tai tais w their LVs, guccis, stylish looking people! plus the food is quite good too! think PS Cafe of Bkk =)
I love the cheese shreds on the Caesar salad, reminds me of the ones I had in aussie heh. Only 1 complaint though... there was simply too much sauce.. yucks..
We also dropped by
Le Notre,a famous pastry chain in Paris
the desserts are yummy! and relatively cheap I thInk..
both desserts are slightly under 100baht each
Interested people can drop by basement level of Siam Paragon to have some great desserts =)
in Yaorowat (aka Chinatown)....
lee yan happily sat down at 1 roadside stall and order something..
and this landed right in front of me..

and how can a bangkok trip complete without a visit to my fav place
Soi Polo Fried Chicken! wooo i love the glistering garlic bits =)
certain parts of the chicken are too tough for my liking though =P

Q10 drink! Super healthy man!
except the gelato Mochi~

Chatuchak
we started our morning with
Tee Kar rice noodles
super yummy too! the meat is so tender!!
xian'z wiki:
tee kar = pig's trotters
Ban Chiang
ambiance is good but food I think it's so so though
i was shocked when we were the only customers when we stepped in
i was disappointed with the amount of curry gravy they gave when we ordered red curry..
'cos i ordered lotsa rice but there was barely enough curry to go with it
