After an entire day of walking, we retired into our rooms watching ftv which is our nominated best free channel that Thailand has. Catwalk 24/7 from Milan to Paris to Sao Paulo. In the morning they serve Fbreakfast and at night they serve Midnight HOT. After that we would sit on the bed having a few rounds of card games before falling asleep. Waking up at 8 we got ready for breakfast before going to Chatuchak Market. Chatuchak is a weekend market that sells everything a market does! It is also claimed to be the worlds largest market!!
Justin tries to be Harry Potter to complement his drunk attitude of reciting movie lines from various movies he watches repeatedly every off and on~!
Lol!! Sorry Yobi but must post this picture hahHA! Yobi tries a skirt and the Thai lady is impressed lol. Ok just joking! They did not have a dressing room so the big sarong is just a makeshift changing room! On a side note, your face is gay!
Justin posing @ Chatuchak Market :)
The market was really fun. I liked the clean feel it had throughout. It is difficult to find such cleanliness in an Asian country unfortunately. Most of the time it is wet and smelly. Also this market sells pets! Omigosh! So cute la wei the pets. They have Pomeranians, Shih Tzu, Westie, Miniature Pinscher and many more! They also have many decorative furniture and Buddhist ornaments for sale! Awesomeeee! After walking through the maze of Chatuchak, (Yes! It is a crazy big maze!!) we decided to get creative with our food!
Not sure what all the inscriptions mean lol. Maybe Jim or Eric can help me translate? haha
We ordered some noodles soup which seems to be popular among the locals. It looked a little scary and I’m really not quite sure what is inside it! The soup was reddish and felt a little powdery! So I’m suggesting that they might have used some kind of animal blood in it. Oh but the taste of spices was so wonderful that I’m not bothered even if blood was used to make it! Slurpssss!!
Guys and noodles! lol
The noodles were really super duper cheap! We paid 116 baht for 3 bowls of noodles and one large bottle of mineral water with ice! And the quality of the ingredients is so good! Better than Malaysia x10! On the downside, the serving was miserably small! So we proceeded to the store next to it!
Master chef doing his thing!
The stall’s main chef is called J-Eung? :S No idea! But his food is divine!
50 baht fishcakes? I can start rolling all over the floor thinking about it. These fishcakes tasted better than the one at The Side Walk and are loads cheaper for the amount we get which is either similar or more!
His seafood tom yam is the BEST I’ve had during my entire trip there. He asked “Spicy ok?” I said “ Spicy? No problem”! OOOOKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK it did not take long before Justin and Yobi had their buttholes on fire! But ooo~ The glory of tom yam in full heat. His soup was superbly flavorful. The soup felt rich making other tom yam around feel stingy! His ingredients were plentiful and his price is INSANELY CHEAP!
We also ordered the dish above called Grilled Pork “SALAD”! laugh out loud in this case. I’ll definitely eat salad every single day if that is called salad! With 80% of the plate filled with tender grilled pork in thai sauce, this is my “salad”! If only Australia has this available from the cafe instead of the lame Caesar or garden salad! I will be so “healthy”! The meal only cost us 190 baht! TAKE THAT MAN! RWARRRRRRRRRRRR!! it is 20 ringgit or 8AUD. And 8AUD only buy me 1 lousy plate of Pad Thai back in Broadyway :(!!
To cool of the spiciness of the soup, we walked a meter or two before reaching our next destination which changed my perception of GOOD juice for LIFE. Read it again people, FOR LIFE! So what is the deal of those normal looking juice? Well, it is 100% pure MANDARIN Orange juice. And this man is smart not to use lousy large oranges! Instead he insists on using small tangerines. Oh the concentration @.@!! This drink put in me in difficulty choosing between coconuts or juice! Each bottle costs us 13 baht each @.@! Double kill I tell you!
My day in Chatuchak ended with some Coconut Ice-cream! It came served in a shell with coconut flesh and a cup of coconut juice! Yummy max! We then took a taxi to the mall and got myself a pair of Jack Purcell’s and chilled in the hotel till it was about 6 before we get ready to go from ragss to RICHES!!
All of us got dressed up only to realize we did not take a group picture at the end of the day as the battery had died lol. Lameeeeee!! We got ready and went to Baiyoke Sky for dinner. We’ve book ourselves for a buffet dinner on the 79th floor of Baiyoke Sky! The place was simply overwhelming! I enjoy being in high areas! Feels so on top of the world! Especially when all the other buildings around you is so much lower allowing you to get the clear view of the city! It feels legendary to be higher up than other people for some reason. Some kind of weird sense of satisfaction!
Day Time! (Not my pics!)
At night (not my pic)
After that comes the dining part! The food is not the best I’ve tasted but generally when the food blends with the atmosphere, it simply tastes better than it should! The variety was satisfying and I was satisfied. The price we paid? 47 bucks! It would have been 100 if we were not hotel guests! Glad we stayed in Baiyoke!!
Time to check out the food! They had Spanish, French, Italian, American, Indian, Thai and Japanese! I think I missed something out, but not quite sure what :(!
Jap food first
Justin’s food
My food
Some prawns
Dessert
With all the food pictures I’ve posted, I can still say that is barely half the food we ate! They had sashimi, sushi , roast beef and many other food I did not get to try as I had already over-eaten by then! Not to mention pasta and soups were available. They also had murtabak @,@! A full array of fresh vegetables were available as well. Fruits were plentiful! And OMG! I just realized I did not eat ice cream ~.~
We had some picture taking around the area after finishing our meal.
Justin and I
Yobi and Justin!
Yobi and his apprentice Justin doing some old school calculation on abacus!
The meal was definitely enjoyable! In fact I would not mind going 2 floors up to sample the other buffet called Crystal Grill which costs 50 baht more only! And after that go up 2 more floors to have a little alcohol on the 83rd :) Anyone up for Bangkok round 2?
To finish up : The seat no filled! A picture to show that our friends ffk us on this trip! Evil Zhan Sheng and Ziyan!!
Day 3 should be soon!
