Land of Smiles: Bangkok Day 2

Before I start Day 2, if you see my previous post of Day 1, I was talking about the craziness of us buying Macdonalds for supper just to collect the minions...

Can't seem to upload the video of us playing the minions though. x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x DAY 2!

Pratunam Wonton Noodles (Saeb X2 Wonton Noodles) Address: Front of Soi Phetchaburi 15, Pratunam, Bangkok The popular wanton mee in Bangkok. Decided to give it a try since everyone is raving about it. Had it for breakfast because they closed ealrly at 4pm so couldn't eat it for lunch yesterday. It's very easy to find. Just behind our hotel!!! Opposite Platinum and spot Macdonalds! The portion is quite small, the noodles is okay... overall i think it's overated. haha. That's my opinion la. After that we headed to Siam Paragon for a tourist day! We went to Siam Ocean World! Lots of nice creatures, similar to the new Singapore Aquarium too. Per tix was 700Baht on a promotion price. Original price was about 1,00baht i think.

They had the starfish touching session too! similar to Singapore! The feeling of starfish is like a stone feeling. Quite hard. But was told (in Singapore) that although it's hard, we cannot press hard too.

Saw huge stingrays and sharks along the travellator. It looks like our previous Underwater World... which I can't remember when was the last time I went. Opps.

Ended everything with our dear Yuez tourist shot! Haha... I'm always making her do tourist shot. :):):)

Linx had the Chocolate Implosion. Chocolate egg with red velvet cake and almond sauce served with magnum vanilla and icing-covered fruits. I personally think this was the best among all our popular dish we ordered. The velvet cake inside was good!

Yuez's monsieur crepe suzette. Crepe with orange reduction sauce flambe served with magnum brownie and signature moustache- shape biscuit.

Via's j'adore les bananas. Crepe with caramelised banana served with magnum strawberry and caramel biscuit.

Using a knife to eat ice cream. first time ever! lol...

 My toasty francais. Chocolate french toast served with magnum vanilla and strawberry flambe.

Shall try other cafes when I go back to Bangkok!

After that, we shopped around Siam before having an early dinner at a Thai restaurant recommended by Via. Very authentic. Thai setting and the smell also very thai.... haha.. And because we were full from the Magnum, and we were saying we are VERY full and let's not order so much... we still ended up ordering... 6 dishes!!!! -.-"""
Luckily we managed to finish up all of it. I love the Pineapple fried rice!!! Yums!!!

We headed to Union Mall which is near Chatuchak. Took the train (my first time!) because the traffic was starting to jam so take train faster. Shopped there, got some loots before heading back to hotel. Again... couldn't go the bar cause it's raining!!!!

Land of Smiles: Bangkok Day 1

Sawadee!!! Took a break to Bangkok from 10-13 July with the lovely girls! Girls trip are always so fun cause we do silly things together. This round, as always, I'm the "mother"... chasing them to wake up and bathe. haha... Spent time trying on clothes and buying Macdonalds happy meals just for the minions!!! Here's a full recap of what we did!!! DAY 1 Flew tigerair and reach bangkok around 3pm... Checked into a new boutique hotel called Glow Pratunam located just opposite Platinum Mall! So convenient! All thanks to Sylvia who's sorta a resident there cause she knows the place SO WELL!!! And she's good at finding good deals, and the hotel didn't disappoint me! The room is big that they even had a nice arm chair by the side, swimming pool and a small gym! My favourite! :D What's best, it's connecting room! :)

By the time we are done with checking in, it was neither here nor there.. so we decided to go Chinatown to have early dinner! Went to the popular T&K restaurant to eat. I always go there even though I don't remember the name. I always say the green colour stall cause opposite stall is red colour. haha.. We were all hungry and we ordered 7dishes! This is the start of our food galore! Our meals for the whole trip were always 6-7 dishes even when we say we not hungry, eat abit only.... -.-!!!!!!!! Back to our dinner, I love the claypot bee hoon and the fried rice. My favourite and the best!!!! Both carbo but impossible for me to resist when i'm there. Oyster is also the next "appetizer" I have. Cause it's cheap!!!!! 50Baht each???!!! And it's fresh!! The whole dinner came up to around 1,000 Baht which is reasonable because alot of seafood .. all prawns in most dishes. We decided to walk around Chinatown and toured around the place to digest before we went for our dessert.....

and.... our dessert... The "everyone knows must go" place. Bird nest & shark fins for dessert. CHEAP!!!! Forced Yuez to take a tourist shot as well cause after all it's her first time to Thailand... How can don't take!!! hehehe...

Our plan was to go Vertigo & Moon Bar at Banyan Tree but because it was drizzling (bar is open concept), we postponed it. Went back hotel and....... bought Macdonalds 5 sets of happy meals .. for MINIONS!!!! I wasn't collecting but I bought 2 for my friends.... Had lots of "retakes" of videos and photos until I think we spent like an hour doing it before actually eating the meal. It turned cold. haha... It was kinda silly to me cause I don't do such thing in Singapore... But it was fun!!! :):):) Shall upload the minions tomorrow cause I need to sleep now. waking up at 5.30am for wakeboarding! Day 2 & 3 coming up real soon!!!!

New found sight: Punggol

Went cycling at a new place - Punggol! Haven been there before cause seems ulu to me. However, it was actually a very nice place to check out! We went past Lorong Halus, which is just a 10min cycle to Pasir Ris Farmway!!! That near from punggol to Pasir ris!!! My ex-boss toured us around cause she always cycled with her hubby. And she said you can cycle from Punggol to Pasir ris then to Changi Village very easily!!

Gonna check out more places around Singapore! First time seeing the bicycle symbol as the traffic light!! :) Counting down to BKK!!!!!
