Bangkok Day 1

Im so excited to blog about my Bangkok trip, it's all about food!

I know many people will go Bangkok for shopping and I actually expect myself to buy lots and lots of clothes there. But to my surprise it'll all food and no shopping. Reason? I just came back from Guangzhou and the clothes are basically the same I guess. 

I went to bangkok for work actually. But it's only one day work but we extended our trip since we were there already. 

We arrived bangkok around 2pm and the company driver picked us from the Don Mueng airport. 

We stayed at Bangkok Palace Hotel for the first two nights before transferring to another hotel which is nearer to our HQ.

Once we checked in, we started hunting for food in Platinum Mall. Our hotel is just 10mins away from Platinum Mall but we decided to take tuk tuk instead of walking. The weather was super hot, i think close to 39degrees!

We had our food in Platinum food court. We walked around in Platinum Mall and also to Central Mall. Had one hour of body massage coz we didnt know where to go before it's time for dinner.

After massage, we walked to the F&B area just saja lah.

Saw a shop selling fried chicken and the queue was super long! We were so curious about the fried chicken, so we decided to join the queue..hahah! It's called Bonchon Chicken, available in many countries like Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and etc but not in Malaysia! Weird! Many franchise business doesnt wanna go into Malaysia maybe due to the low population I guess.

Yes the fried chicken is nice especially the skin! They marinated the chicken with some spicy spices which taste sweet and spicy. The kimchi soup is tempting too! But I didnt order coz I need to save some spaces for my "real dinner"

Next, we took cab to Chinatown. That's where I leave my stomach empty for.

No! Not for durians!

But for T&K seafood! I found this place from the internet reviews and also friends' recommendations. Basically everyone talks and knows about this place!

 

Look at the crowd! I can say their customers are all Malaysians, Singaporeans, Hongkies and Chinas. It is so tourist-y that even the waiter and waitress could speak fluent Mandarin and Cantonese!

Our satisfied face after dinner. The food is really good and super cheap. For the dishes above, only RM75! You can never find it in Malaysia..hahaha. 

Opps I Did It Again!

Yes I did it again for being missing in action again! 

I can now go back to blogging because the boyf had got me a new iMac in replacement of our missing Macbook. Sigh I didnt wanna mention about my Macbook anymore. We sent to one guy whom has been always servicing the computers in my MIL's office. So we thought we could ask him to reformat and repair our Macbook as well.

He said he could so we just gave him the macbook without asking anything. After months, he told us that the macbook's motherboard has got problem and it costs around RM1200 to repair. So the boyf said its ok we will just send it to apple store then since its gonna cost that much to repair by non-authorised reseller. 

After waiting for months and more than a year, the boyf decided to call him again to get back the macbook. But the fella did not answer our calls. There's once he answered and he told us he had sent the macbook to CHINA to repair! Wth! 

And now there's no news at all from that guy. He's not answering our calls and perhaps I think he had changed his contact number already.

So I was without laptop for a very long time. Sometimes when Im back in Penang i'll just use my dad's laptop or the mini dell which is at home. Most of the time I only online with my iPhone. 

I've been bugging him to get a new Macbook and finally instead of Macbook, an iMac. Better than none! LOL!

And yesterday I even went to Mac store to redeem an ipad mini from the accumulation of Maybank treat-points. Every 200 points for RM1. I'm a happy apple user now! 

At the moment the imac is placed on a small drawer table now coz we didnt prepare a table in the room ever since the room was renovated before our wedding.

Going ikea tonight to look for a simple table. And meatballs and chicken wings for dinner! 

Iced Cappuccino

I'm still so awake at this hour 6.30am. All thanks to the iced cappuccino that I ordered during tea time in Publika.

I was chatting with hubby on how much I'm addicted to iced cappuccino lately, and his reply was,"it's quite strong actually" and I didnt care what he said.

And now it's proven how strong it is on me!

I hope I'm able to sleep now. Pretty tired but my eyes are still so alert ;(

Macau - The City of Casinos

From Guangzhou, we took the bullet train to Zhuhai. It was an hour journey. 

This is the Zhuhai Railway Station, which looks like KLIA. Unlike our KTM station which is so lousy and crowded. 

                                                   

From Zhuhai, we took the bus to the border of Macau and Zhuhai. It was a good choice because we get to sight-see the city of Zhuhai. I think the city is like Prai Industrial Area. 

We queued for an hour plus at the Macau immigration. It was already 5pm when we were done.

Then we took the Venetian coach to The Venetian. Our friend, Chun, had waited for hours for us to reach Macau. Didnt expect the 3 hours delay!

Checked in to our hotel around 6pm. Nothing beats the whole day tiredness when we checked into our room! 

The Venetian, Royal Suite Room. 

The first thing I did when we entered the room. CAMWHORE!

The living room.

The royal highness bed. Heheh. 

I'm in love with the toilet. 

Took a quick shower and we went our for dinner with Chun.

He booked our dinner at 8pm. So we have some time to walk around the shopping mall in The Venetian. 

And first food station - Macau's famous Portuguese egg tarts!

It is so damn delicious! Oh if you happen to be there, must try this egg tarts from Lord Stow's Bakery & Cafe. 

The egg tarts is so crispy and the filling is damn soft and it melts in the mouth. 

My first time in Macau. 

Now I know why they said it's always day time inside The Venetian. It's because of the man-made sky illusion inside the building. And gamblers will never remember their sleeping time throughout 24 hours.

Meet our friend, Chun - still single and available (I guess)

We had our dinner at this Portuguese restaurant. We both didnt know how to order, we left the decisions to Chun. He knows whats best!

I love the lamb chop best. 

This is the best pic that we could get from a drunk uncle who helped us to take the pic. His hands were shaking, and his sight was kinda blur. I had one pic where our head were just nice on the border. Luckily he didnt take only our body..LOL!

After dinner we went to Grand Lisboa, where the first well-known casino was established. 

I didnt know that my camera could take this effect. No photoshop. It's the poster effect. So nice right?

Amazed with the beautiful lights of Macau city. So colourful. 

The mermaid on the big projector screen. The mermaid will swim around, disappear and the reappear again. 

And then we went to Hard Rock Cafe for yam cha. 

NEXT DAY IN MACAU

We didnt spend much time in our hotel. The night before we reached the hotel around 1am. Went to bed at 2am. 

The next morning we had to checkout at 11am. 

We both woke up early to go for a swim. The Venetian has 5 pools altogether. 

It's kinda waste if we didnt go for a dip right? :)

Ahh here goes miss intoxicated in biginis..please ignore her fat belly caused by 5 meals a day in China. TQVM.

See how I fully utilize the room! Heheh

 Extended our checkout time at 12pm. LOL

Then we went for lunch at the food court in The Venetian. 

The stalls in the food court are from famous restaurants. I had ramen and the boyf had rice. 

This is  another famous Portuguese egg tarts from Koi Kei Bakery. 

My sis recommended this and she said it's a must try. So we bought 2 to try. 

Frankly speaking, I think the egg tarts from Koi Kei wasnt as good as the ones in Lord Stow's.

Jalan-jalan sambil camwhore. 

Before we leave to Hong Kong, we went to Lord Stow's Bakery again for our last egg tarts. 

I miss it so much! Can we have Lord Stow in Malaysia pleasssee? Someone please bring back the franchise. 

I love you, egg tarts!

We had a very short trip in Macau. Less than 24 hours. The boyf actually suggested that we extend for 1 more day in Macau but I didnt want. I wanna go Hong Kong. 

There's nothing much to shop in Macau. 

Furthermore we already booked our hotel in Hong Kong. And paid for it already. 

So Macau, we will definitely come back to you.

No no..I should say we will come back for The Venetian!
