Sawadee ka!!!

Some of you might know, I went to BKK for the chinese new year this year. Going to BKK every year with my family has become an annual routine because my dad always goes there for business trips and he likes the place. I prefer Taiwan to BKK in terms of fun and food but BKK's shopping beats Taiwan hands down. I just love their cheap clothes and cheap food as well. If you are there for holiday i.e. shopping spree, I want to recommend this place with awesome food!!! It is near Siam Paragon and the nearest MTR is Siam station.

Since you are in BKK, of course you want to eat authentic thai food right??? This place is actually reccomended by my dad and the food is really deabak (I mean dee mark ka - very good in thai). Haha. I tried to google the restaurant and it is actually featured on trip advisor. This shows how good it is. We'll go to this place whenever we go to BKK. After having your lunch, you can just start shopping once you step out of the restaurant because the shops are right in front!!!

The place is quite crowded during lunch time as most of the tables were occupied when we were there. And the service were quite good because the food came real fast. We ordered like 4 to 5 main dishes and I only managed to take pictures of the 3 dishes. I think that some restaurant is bound to have some signature dish which tasted nice but the rest is like OK only. But I think that every dish is awesome!!!

#1 Charcoal Grilled Pork with Honey: I like the way they cook the pork and the honey goes well with the pork. Not too sweet and not too salty.

#2 Shrimp Spicy Soup (Tom Yum Kung):  Can I say this is my favorite dish??? I can't find authentic Tom Yum Kung in Singapore because the soup is either too thick or too bland. This soup is just nice. It really have the sour and spicy taste and both taste blended together really well.

#3 Chicken Green Curry: I can taste the sweet and spicy taste of the curry and the soup is super thick. The chicken goes well with the curry.

#4 Crispy Water Chestnut in Coconut Milk with Ice (Red Ruby) : Red Ruby is always my favorite thai dessert and this is awesome!! Some red ruby that I ate doesn't have the crunchy taste but this is super crunchy and the coconut milk is super thick!! Reminds me of the Ice Kachang in Singapore.

#5 Sticky Rice with Ripe Mango: I don't really like to eat mango but I actually ate this mango!! I just wanted to try at 1st but it turned out that I kept eating it. I like the sticky rice and it goes well with the coconut milk.
