Thai Food court

Bangkok -   Recommended by our hotel staff, the best exchange rate in Bangkok offered by Super Rich exchange.  The exchange rate is really good - much better than in Singapore.

A short distance we walk to have our lunch at the food court. 


Instant noodle with Pig's innards
 This is a simple dish - mine was clear soup but Lesley's was spicy.  The only innard I don't eat is blood. 


Orange Squash in glass bottle

Durian Sticky rice
This is a different style of Durian sticky rice dipped in a sweet soup base.  It taste very sweet.

The Mango Tree Restaurant @ Hotel Muse

Bangkok - In the evening we walked to this famous landmark - The Hotel Muse along Langusuan and had a drink up on their sky bar.  From the top of the Hotel it was a lovely view of the city and the Langsuan street.  I can understand why the rave reviews of this hotel.

View from Hotel Muse Speakeasy Bar
We then took the advice of the Hotel Muse reception and proceed to The Mango Tree Restaurant for dinner.  

The taxi took us to the street and pointed us to walk down the street.  We walked and found no such restaurant so we ask one of the guards, who told us to walk further down.  Still cannot find - Lesley entered a hair salon and a Lady told us that it is across the street in the opposite direction.   So we walked in that direction, still cannot find we approached another restaurant guard standing outside and he told us it is in the next street (Soi) turn left - then we found it. 

The ambiance is casual with a traditional troupe Thai music outside.  The restaurant has outdoor and indoor dinning - we chose in door because we were persipiring from the walking, trying to locate this place. 



Kailan vegetable stir fried with mushroom

Creamy Coconut seafood soup

Plad Thai Seafood

Signature Dish - Chilli Crab
Singapore Chilli Crab is still the best as the crabs used in Singapore restaurants are Sri Lanka - much bigger and meatier.  

Tub Tim Krob
Tub Tim Grob, is a coconut milk based dessert that is my favourite. The small reddish/pinkish jewels are water chestnut covered with tapioca flour, served with sweeten coconut milk and shaved ice. Shredded jackfruit are added to this dessert to make it extra special.






My Home Restaurant

Bangkok - I always like the food of My Home restaurant and so Lesley and I walk down the street to have our lunch.

Stir fried spicy Mimosa leave and buds
This is one of Thailand's popular dish which it is difficult to find in Singapore.  Apparently, mimosa leave and bud is eatible.


The waitress delivered this dish to our table and immediately told her that we did not ordered this - it's free she said.  It's some homemade dumpling. 


Thai Pineapple Seafood rice



Spicy Steamed Sea Bass fish

This is a very delicious fish dish and it's slight spicy.   The Sea Bass was very fresh and the meat is so tender.  The total bill was Baht 608 (S$ 24.32) very reasonably priced.

After our apointment, whilst I was waiting for our customer to send us to the BTS station.  A kitten sneak up to me....
