Day 2: Ohhh Bangkok

Good morning!!! 
Our second day in Bangkok.


Woke up just in time to have hotel breakfast.


Then to the hotel gym before we head out to Platinum Fashion mall for shopping.


Wanted to eat at the foodcourt in the mall but it's so packed during the lunch hour and we ended up eating at Fuji Japanese Restaurant, which is just around the corner.


Shared a sashimi set, tamago and beef steak.
We need to save some tummy space for the street food later. 


A line of street food stalls at the doorsteps of our hotel.


Tabao back!


Just take all my money!!


Walking back to our hotel


The "ancient" hotel lift


My favourite crispy Thai pancake.
And Mango sticky rice without fail. 


Cabbed down to Aunt Lydia's, who just settled down in Bangkok for work. 


First in the family to be here and worth a selfie!


She took us to explore the long stretch of street food in her area. Less touristy, food is cheaper and I really need that portable electrical fan she brought along.
Sweating buckets already.


I have to say, I have no idea how to cross the roads in Bangkok when there's no traffic lights and overhead bridges to use. Aunt Lydia walked us to the MRT Station and we took a wefie before we bid goodbye. Thanks for showing us around and see you soon!


We trained to Thailand Cultural Centre and stepped right into the mall for aircon and After You cafe because no queue!


Had to order this Lavender Lychee soda because matchy matchy with my dress. Lol!
Shibuya honey toast.


The Train Night Market Ratchada is a stone throw away. Having the cheese mussel and scallops recommended by Calista.


Share a medium set.


GW waiting patiently for aunty to bbq his dried cuttlefish


Wah fried insects, I cannot.


After shopping around, it's time for a drink!


Excited to drink from the Viking Victory horn.


And I was mad thirsty from all the walking.


Just chilling and people watching.
This can be so therapeutic.


Enjoyed my day 2 in Bangkok so much.


Bought some street food back just in case we get hungry in the middle of the night.
It started pouring halfway, we ran to the mall to seek shelter and grabbed a cab back.


Finished everything and bedtime!

Day 3: Dear Bangkok

Day 3, getting ready to find our lunch place.
We are going to walk 1km to Petchaburi soi 5 for Lobster Tomyum Goong noodles.


A regular size lobster noodles costs 999 baht.
We ordered the 1,200 baht large size lobster noodles for sharing.
It comes with a large lobster, salmon, mussels, crab, squid, egg and noodle of your choice.


Their tom yum goong is so so epic and it's probably the best one we ever had.
GW was telling me he will never forget the taste of it and 以后喝不到 怎么办??? So drama right. 


A huge bowl goodness, all finished!
So satisfying...


Some filming going on behind...


Took a wefie outside the stall before we leave.
And it's called Pe-Aor Tom Yum Kung Noodles.


Walked over to B-story cafe for dessert.


Rustic garden theme cafe


Americano, Thai milk tea latte, salted caramel chocolate cake and banana chocolate cake. 


Our favourite past time, cafe hopping.


Shouldn't have ordered 2 cakes right after a heavy lunch. We were feeling bloated and couldn't finish them up. Walked back to hotel for a rest.


We were at Bar 9 of Novotel hotel at 6ish for a drink and look at those beautiful skies!


Lovely shades of pink 


Singha beer 140baht++ each


Happy hour 12noon to 5pm. 


Sky turning dark...


Padthai rolls with soft shell crab.
It's so good!! 280baht++


Their music was a little too noisy for us. 
Gosh... Am I getting old or what?
Would prefer smooth jazz or bossa nova.


Wefie with my best friend and also the love of my life.
