One Night in Bangkok

Image
On a recent trip back to Malaysia, my good but crazy friend, Shereen decided to indulge me on a quick 2 days 1 night trip to Bangkok. It was a crazy idea given I only have a week in Kuala Lumpur BUT it's the two of us and the usual rule is "anything goes". This would be "I don't remember how many times" that I have been to Bangkok but it was Shereen's first time. I am so glad that it was me who got to pop her Bangkok cherry, I mean it's no secret I love Bangkok so who could be better to show her the city? This trip was purely for shopping and to indulge on food till our stomachs could take no more with the one exception of an amazing 2 hour massage that left us feeling like we were on Cloud Nine. Since it was such a quick trip, there was only so much food places that Shereen and I could fit in. Here are a few of my recommendations of where to eat in Bangkok:- Chatuchak Weekend Market Whenever I make a trip to Bangkok, I always make sure that...

Where To Eat in Bangkok

It is no secret that I love Bangkok. The food is amazing and so is the shopping. I usually go to Platinum Fashion Mall and buy my years' worth of clothing. My two favourite shopping places is Platinum Fashion Mall and Chatuchak Weekend Market, you go there and you don't have to go anywhere else. Anyways, back to the food. Every single time I go back to Bangkok, there are always (too many!) different food joints that I want to eat at. This time around, I only managed to eat at half of the places I wanted to eat at due to some time constraints :( It's OK, there is always next time! Here are a few of my recommendations on where to eat whilst in Bangkok:-

My Eats in Chiang Mai!

The last time I was in Chiang Mai was back in July 2006. Over the years, I have reminisce over their good food  especially their Chiang Mai noodles, something you don't find in most Thai restaurants in Melbourne. Thanks to my recent trip to Chiang Mai in March, I had the chance to relive the memories of how good a bowl of Chiang Mai noodles tasted plus much more. If you are ever up north of Thailand, do drop by and visit Chiang Mai. It's not as lively as Bangkok but it sure does have it's charms :) Here are a few of my recommendations of places to eat:-

Historic Bangrak Food Tasting & Culture Tour

It's been so long since I last blogged, I really shouldn't procrastinate any longer. It's time to back track to my most recent holiday to Asia and the food adventures I got up to. First stop was Bangkok in December 2012. I have always been a lover of Thai food and I definitely ate my fair share of local food on this trip. I decided to do a food tour this time around after reading about it on their website, I was not sure what to expect because I have never been on a walking food tour before. The only thing that I have ever done food related is either eat to my heart's content or do a cooking class. Verdict? Loved it! If it wasn't for the food tour, we wouldn't have stumbled across the hidden gems that served such amazing food. By the end of tour, our bellies was filled with so much food that I didn't think we could eat any thing else. I definitely recommend anyone going to Bangkok to do one of their food tours but the Historic Bangrak Food Tasting ...
