A Bangkok trip of mixed emotions. This was possibly the worst i've felt prior to travelling, with Kl's facepalm a close second, but i think we made the best out of a bad situation.
Initially, i wasn't sure if i wanted company or preferred to be alone on this trip, but i'm glad my boys got my back on such short notice. Kelly confirmed he would be joining me immediately and Ally literally booked his flight just hours the night before. Little did i know i was bringing along 2 pigs with bottomless pits as stomachs..
Our body clocks were fucked up and the little sleep we got on the plane wasn't enough to prevent us feeling like zombies upon arrival at Bangkok. Teehee don't you just want to stuff some dicks into their mouths?
The hotel room at Grand Diamond was surprisingly spacious. The 3 of us comfortably squeezed into a room for 2, illegally of course, like foreign workers.
View wasn't bad either. Hello Baiyoke Sky. This marked the first time i was staying in the Pratunam district and it was a game changer. So happening, so many people, so many Singaporeans...
We were both exhausted and hungry, but the law in Bangkok says you can't sleep on an empty stomach. So we headed down, crossed the street and had ourselves some famous wanton mee.
OK WE GET IT. NO BRANCH, IN SG.
People come here for the wanton mee, but we all know the real star of the show is the braised pork leg rice.
Most important rule in a restaurant.
It's a decent bowl of wanton mee, but it's not out of the world. No pizzaz, no wow factor.
Unlike this heavenly plate of pork leg rice that looked like 仙女下凡 when it descended on our table. Chunks of meat and fat that literally disintegrates in your mouth. Even Ally (who doesn't like pork and has a prejudice against fatty meat) loved it and was contemplating second servings. Alas, we refused to give in to temptations as there was a full day of eating ahead and we could walk over at anytime within the next few days. What a mistake that turned out to be.
Since i was alongside 2 other foodies who had no interest in shopping, the only logical choice was to return to the hotel and sleep. Kelvin's random spooning in the middle of the night took a little getting used to...
After a short nap of about 4-5 hours (lol), our empty stomachs managed to convince our lazy asses to take a short walk to Centralworld and hunt for some food. We all felt a sense of uneasiness as we approached the mall, especially Kelly. We quickly discovered why..
A big statue of Jenny was watching our every step, staring into our souls.
The expressions of panic that had yet to leave Kel's face. Don't worry bro, she's miles away and can't hurt you.
Another restaurant recommendation from the always helpful tripadvisor, we couldn't really pronounce it properly and called it the "lame 超人" restaurant.
Best seats in the house because they mistook us for celebrities. 哈哈我只是 food blogger 罢了. I'm sick of describing food so pardon me for my simplified summary of the following dishes.
WOW
GOOD
NOT BAD
GODLIKE AND SO MUCH CRABBBBBBB. The food here was simply outstanding and kickstarted our excitement for finding more food gems during the trip.
An Italian food fair greeted us after just taking a flight of escalators down from the restaurant. Enticing food being sold at every nook and cranny epitomising the beauty of Bangkok.
Throughout these 5 days i can confirm they are indeed dessert vampires and definitely turned on by sweet stuff. Imagine their erect dicks as antennas pointing towards sweet shit and they just follow in that direction. That's pretty much how they function.
We settled for cold stone creamery and got myself a milk shake because they warned that we were going for more food.
But these 2 went all out and got ice cream with waffle cones. Help, i'm scared...
Mesmerised by the large food hall and pondering where to begin our food assault.
Don't mind me... just helping out a mannequin...
Ally's eyes lit up when he saw his baobei soft crepes and went to order without any hesitation.
Happy boy and his crepe looking like the statue of liberty.
Totally looks like the toilet train that we invented in Fedex.
Cakes that we dabao-ed as after supper desserts. Foresight and future planning in a nutshell, ladies and gentlemen.
With heavy hearts, we left the mall and its plethora of food options, but Centralworld wasn't done with us just yet.
A giant fucking food fair was happening right outside the mall and we definitely got distracted like lechers underneath the overhead bridge beside SIM bus stop.
We restrained ourselves from throwing money at the vendors as we still had to visit Neon night market later that night. Stomach space is a premium in Bkk.
Crossed the road to Big C supermarket to get our toiletries and some water to replenish my tears. Fitting that we came here, since my nickname is the 'Big D'.
Jitao is Giant supermarket. But everything is in baht ❤
Ignoring the tourist traps lined up outside along Platinum Mall, we put down our loots in the hotel and went for some night market action.
Only problem is there are pasar malams everywhere and we weren't sure where the night market was located at.
Kelly found his favourite mango sticky rice from his previous visit. The friendly auntie tried to converse with us in Cantonese but sadly the only words i know are insults.
Google maps was off on the location but thankfully this purple pig x rhino(?) signboard helped us to find our way.
Virgin at the relatively new Talad Neon, this night market is hipster-ish, spacious and less stuffy than others. But best of all...
DEY GOT HORSES. SO KEWL
And babi. The cute young ones, which will grow into the delicious ones we ate earlier.
And also kawaii bunnies to distract the girls while we snipe them. This is known as resourcefulness, using the environment to my advantage.
Most of the shops were selling the same stuff on repeat. I counted at least 10 retailers selling fidget spinners. What a retarded trend, everybody knows bubble wrap popping is way more satisfying.
Alcoholics section with live bands. Looks like a pretty good place to chill.
Resisting the urge to drown my sorrows with liquor, we started on our food tour with some crispy fried chicken.
Wow so dry, soggy and totally below average! 说好的 crispy 呢?
Something more exciting was this guy blowtorching meat, sausages, bacon and cheese on a griddle.
Meat & Cheese 90 Baht
The meats and melted cheese worked seamlessly with each other although everything was a tad salty and oily. However, the seasonings were delightful and the char from the torch gave it an extra smokey flavour. The perfect snack on the go.
7.5 / 10
Oops sorry 职业病. Washed down the oilyness with.. what else? Thai iced milk tea. Sadly most of the food vendors were not open during our visit so we had very few food options. Ended up just getting mac and burger king for supper.
I just knew they would not pass by this banana prata stall without getting one. Like fucking ants attracted to sweet shit.
Obligatory pointless video of coconut milk being poured onto mango sticky rice because nobody has ever seen that happen.
Tadah! Fucking supper that is 80% desserts. Look at what happens when you let your kids decide what to eat for meals. Diabetes incoming. I guess we did alright for Day 1, but more food awaits us in Bangkok.
- End of Day 1 -
