More pics on BKK

Asked our hotel staff for recommendations on restaurants tt provide good and traditional thai cuisine and we got directed to this :

Restaurant: Once Upon A Time (32, Soi Petchaburi 17 - u will need to turn into a dimly lit lane and walk in..we took a cab and we hit a few wrong turns before reaching)

Just so happened, this restaurant was pretty near our hotel. So we decided to give it a shot. Turns out, to our surprise, it was superb!!!

one of their vege soup tt comes w chicken. This tasted strongly of bamboo and some herbs thais used..so unless u can take it else dun try.

their tom yam goong!!! I tell u...dun see no up this small claypot of tom yam soup~ just one mouth n it had our appetite raised by a notch, and though we were not hungry, we immed decided just one small pot like this is not gg to satisfy us so we ordered another one. Damn shiok!! Fantastic like heaven~

pandan leaf chicken...chicken were tender w a hint of pandan..nice~
regrets tt jessie did not take photos of the fried rice we subsequently ordered..tt small plate of fried rice - ordinary in looks but heavenly in taste! even for someone like me who doesnt touch rice actually ate 1 full bowl of it! mai siao siao~
oh and also the pineappple rice...sooo yummy too...

this dessery is absolutely on the house..mango w sweet glutinous rice...as expected of their standard (after eating such a delicious sumptious meal) this dessert comes as a good sweet ending to our "dinner" there...this restaurant really left a very deep impression in us..definitely will go back again the next time i visit bkk..

subsequently the next day, we decided to have our dinner feast in our hotel room (we were wiped out from a whole day of walking wo taking a single public tpt and we decided to buy abit of every food we see in the streets and feast it out in the comfort of our room)

this whole feast of bbq half-chicken, one fried drumstick each, mango salad, 2 boxes of pad thai, 6 skewers of handmade fishballs & sausages & chicken balls, 8 skewers of grilled pork - all at a cost of barely S$30! their street hawker food is so cheap! (p/s: initially i was worried of food poisoning given tt im not one w a strong stomach, but after tt 5 days of feasting on roadside stalls, I can vouch for the "safety" lol)

everyone (except me, of cox) in the room swear by the grilled pork skewers

for me? I swear by the pad thai... hah~

happily filling our alrdy filled stomach w more food - dumpling balls / tau hway in ginger soup

tried out their food court at the 6th lvl of platinum mall...go where the locals go...

see these "kuehs"...tried the green one..fried n dipped in their sauce...yummy~

realised for many of their small bites, much of the taste depends on the sauce made by the vendor...even the chilli tastes differently..

bowls n bowls of desserts..i can only name 2...the one on the extreme left in yellow - tau suan, and the one on the extreme right in light yellow - 玉米羹...the rest? ahah *shrugs*

we separated ways w the guys while shopping, agreeing to meet at a timing at a specified location. but our money was wiped out prior to that timing and all we could do was to find a place to sit down, relax while waiting for them. Ended up at Mister Doughnut...DON'T TRY! their doughnuts suckz...

don't be deceived like us...
