Saturday

Siam @ Bangkok

Location: Siam

How to get there: BTS --> Siam station, Exit 5


This is a busy centre of the Siam city, the centre of luxurious shopping, food, fashions and etc.
It is as much similar to the Orchard Road in Singapore, Bintang Walk in Kuala Lumpur, Harajuku in Tokyo and Si Men Ting in Taipei....

SIAM PARAGON

There was a giant Gundam model standing right in front of the entrance of Siam Paragon as there was a Japan Anime & Manga event over that particular weekend. We saw alot people dressing in cosplay as well!



a cinnamon roll bought in Siam Paragon, very soft and sweet to have it after tired walking...

SIAM SQUARE

a place where you must not miss when travelling around Siam. It's like MongKok in Hong Kong and Bugis in Singapore. There were Spas, Hair Dressing Saloons, Snacks stalls, cafes, mini stores and etc where you can spend the whole evening in there.


Thai Massage and Spas are at every where.

Hair saloons. Price is definitely cheaper than in either SIngapore or Malaysia

Som Tam, @ Siam Square
Som Tam = Thai Papaya Salad
This cafe is crowded with visitors throughout the day, with a variety choices of ingredients and menu.

And this is our dinner for the 1st day at Bangkok @ New Light Coffee House
Located at Siam Square as well.
Pineapple fried rice
I think we are too famished that everything in Bangkok are just as good for spicy lovers like us.

Stir fried asparagus with shrimps
Mango Tango @ Siam Square
All sweet desserts made of Thai Mango you can find them here
This dessert shop is too tiny that it can accomodate not more than 20 ppl dining in at a time... ~_~
We have to wait quite long for a table.
Mango Tango T-shirts for sales

Mango in coconut milk

Mango pudding, Mango slice and mango sorbet - must try, nice taste, fresh mango and good combination


Rock & Roll cafe @ Bangkok

Location: Siam Centre
How to get there: BTS --> Siam station, take exit No. 5.

This is a cafe with theme of RETRO and Rock & Roll, the decorations are all about black disc, jukebox, Elvis Presley, red and white stripes couch and etc.

an antique jukebox on each dining table. some are still functionable.

Apple juice

Tom Yum fish ball noodle


Fish Ball noodle soup

Fried rice with fried pork fillet
The average price of ala cartes is about THB100.... quite a reasonable price with good ambience, a good place to rest ur feet after a tiring day of shopping. However, the taste is just so-so...

Wednesday

Overall, foods are above average, new try with oriental-thai fusion recipe, nice ambience, good place for chatters and gathering with some drinks, good service. And of course, you have to afford the bill at least THB1000/person.

Saturday

Cabbages & Condoms Restaurant @ Bangkok

Location: 6 Sukhumvit Soi 12, Bangkok

located in a long narrow lane in Sukhumvit Soi 12. Nearby are all restaurants, pubs and hotels, obviously a tourism spot.



2 models full of smelly condoms.




Very educative!





Satays in thai style! yummy

Seafood with sweet and spicy rice noodles.

mixed vegetables soup, did not expect it to be actually chinese style. disappointed.


Chicken wrapped in Pandan leaves

Rice in Valentine shape!

Pineapple fried rice, good taste!

Phad thai, so so only.
Price is reasonable and value of money. Average THB300 per person and above for full course.
Nice ambience with air conditioned, good thai food, but mind not to dine near those condoms models as they really stink.
