Bangkok Invasion - Episode II

Sawadee krap-krapp-krappp...

After some serious hardcore wallet-busting shopping on our first two days in the Land of Transvestites Coconuts Smiles aka Bangkok, Team F&F decided to slow down things and explore further upon Saladaeng area in search for some good food on the 3rd day.

There are street food stalls everywhere within our hotel area selling a huge variety of street food, kind of similar to the ones found in a local night market here, but at a much cheaper price. Really ''peng-leng-jeng'' I'd say. Another thing, pork can be found almost everywhere! Woot!!



Had our brunch here at the HONGMIN Restaurant, serves Chinese-style food.


Decided to try to dim sum, so Feebz's put in charge of ordering.


Worn-out hungry soldier waiting, he survived the shopping massacre too!


The place's well decorated, giving us the Zen feeling. Very nice ambiance.


You've to try the orange (or citrus) juice whenever you're in BKK. The taste's great. Easily be found everywhere, usually selling at a price of 20 baht per bottle.


Tried the gigantic fried 'wu gok'! Very crispy and tons of yams inside. One is enough to stuff you full.


'Char Siu Paus', didnt find it nice as the inside seems to be half-done and there isnt any gravy at all. Definitely no match for the local paus back here!

After trying out a couple plates of dim sums, we decided to try one of the dishes there. Here's Pork Ribs Kuey Teow Noodles - very tasty.


Thai Ronalds here pray very hard occasionally, regretted that I didnt smuggle some McPorks back home.

Shopping mission began... continued walking around in MBK complex.


Got our Thai decorations / handicrafts here. Price's cheap provided if you buy huge quantity and bargain with the sellers well. Spent quite some time here, and our pockets got burned.

Outside MBK Centre, another shopping haven for the ladies.

While she's busy shopping, I'm busy snapping random photographs.


Sial Siam Paragorn Shopping Mall, Asia's largest. Didnt spend much time there as it's all expensive branded stuffs, similar to Pavilion KL. Under Water World's there. Saw a magic show being performed there though.

For our dinner in the evening, we managed to find a restaurant serving authentic Thai food. Quite crowded. All hail Banana Leaf Restaurant!

Two hungry souls waiting for food.


Thai Pandan Chicken - taste good, smells aromatic.

Seafood Otak-otak - rich with prawn and fish meats. The taste's not bad.

Seafood Tom Yum Goong - uber tasty, even though we requested the Chef to cook it less spicy. Best thing we ever had in Thailand. Yum Goong...

Yum Goong... after dinner we walked around & we saw this! Yum Saap betul!

Return of the Dark Lord, Darth Shopper. Night shopping was fun!


MBK during the night time. Traffic's kinda congested as well.


We even saw a group of Britney Spears wannabes performing on the street on our way back. Apparently a group of students were doing a MV there.

Wokies, next batch of photos will be coming up within a couple of days. We found that Bangkok's nightlife was quite lively, if only we went and visit A-Go-Go bars and clubs that night.
