Bangkok Trip Aug 08- Seafood Dinner @ Chinatown

Before I went to to Bangkok, I visited cari forum for tips on yummy food in Bangkok.

The seafood dinner at Chinatown was highly recommended by the people in the forum so we went there for the first day of arrival in Bangkok.


Bangkok Chinatown


So crowded!


the restaurant that we went to

We started ordering dishes and these are the dishes we had:-

My favourite dish- the steam fish with lots of garlic and chili


Think we ordered the wrong dish, this is okay also lah.


crab with mihun, this has a very light crab taste, the crabs are fresh!


Tom Yum! THIS IS HEAVENLY! DAMN good!


fried Kang Kung - our vege intake for the day


bird nest stalls are everywhere in Chinatown


Mom said the birdnest is not real, costs THB200


I am all sweaty but enjoying the food v much!


Clams! I am such a fan of clams!and this dish didn't fail to satisfy me!

That's all for the food we ate in Chinatown. It costs us around RM150 or less for the whole meal.

You need to take a cab to Chinatown but the seafood there is so fresh! I will definitely return!

Next time you are in Bangkok, remember to alocate one dinner for a seafood meal in Chinatown.

It's definitely be worth it!

Bangkok Trip Aug 08- Accommodation

Hello All!! Sorry for the lack of update as I lost my momentum for blogging for the past week!

Good news is that I have joined California Fitness last week and started going to dance class, yoga class etc. The beginning of a healthy lifestyle for me!All thanks to my gym buddy Saw Hooi! I hope we can keep each other motivated for the coming 2 years!

Ok, back to the topic for today! YAY I am finally going to blog about my amazing Bangkok trip with my lil sis and my lovely parents. We laughed so much during the trip, eat so much and shop damn a lot also! THIS IS THE WAY TO LIVE, and THIS IS HAPPINESS TO ME! The feeling of being with family is so great, except that elder sis and bro are unable to come! Therefore, I really look forward to my coming trip during Chinese New YEar next year, the whole family will be going somewhere in Europe for holiday, or if not we shall all stay in London!

First, my hotel @ Bangkok, the Century Park Hotel. We found this hotel from Asiarooms.com. We have enjoyed our stay there and it costs us around RM250 per night.


The Century Park Hotel situated 10mins away by taxi from City Centre



Classy Hotel Lobby

the room, their bed is the type that I like, not too soft nor too hard, just the right bed for me!


clean bath tub, no stains!


there is shower too! It's a huge bathroom


nice view from our room, sorry I never got to find out what place exactly is this!

One bad thing about this hotel is the toilet flush. It is quite loud and you can literally hear your neighbour flushing their toilet! I am fortunate that our neigbour did not go to toilet very often in the middle of the night. Well, it could also be that I am always exhausted everyday from shopping therefore I can't hear anything at all! Usually I fall asleep 5 seconds after I lie down! wahaha...The skytrain station is 10mins walk from the hotel but we did not take any skytrain while we were there as taxi is very cheap to city centre, costs us around RM6-8 and there were four of us so we felt that taking taxi is the most comfortable and economical way to travel!

Overall, I would recommend this place for families or couples, not for budget traveller as the price is slightly above average. I enjoyed my stay at the hotel and No this is not an advertorial that they paid me to write for them!

I just want my friends to have more choice when it comes to picking a hotel in Bangkok. I know it can be a headache to choose from thousands of hotel because I had that!

Enjoy your weekend people! Next up FOOD!!! Not just ordinary food but YUMMY Thai food!

Back from Bangkok!

Yeah I am BACK!!! with shit loads of stuff!!!

O M G......... Bangkok is such a good place to shop ( Not as if I don't already know about it) but still I am so overwhelmed by the stuff that I bought!!!!

Even the protests and all did not affect our shopping mood. We still shop everyday like usual except that we can't go to the Grand Palace because the area is full of protesters!

I need time to sort out my shopping as I am flying back to Singapore tomorrow!

Will post up photos in Australia over the weekend~

Weekend is almost here people!
