Not A Bad Sunday

Woke up fresh today although I had a few episodes of dreams along the way before I opened up my eyes to a slow paced Sunday. As my friends were enjoying themselves in Hua Hin I took the chance to hibernate myself after a long two weeks of midnight conquest. I told myself that today it's just gonna be me and I'll do whatever I feel comfortable with. The traffic was on the free flow side and it was such a bonus to drive around in Bangkok. Went to the city and run some errands before stopping by at a mall to have my lunch.

Grabbed a few titles for the pleasure of entertaining myself at night. Surprisingly they have the reissue of "Breakfast at Tiffany's", and why not give it a try since it is an all time classic that so many songs and movies were inspired by this movie.

In Bangkok you can't go wrong with style and fashion by following what you saw on the streets of this ever-changing city. The vintage iphone case is a big hit. Any vintage prints on the case is selling mad here. I saw some today and they have the prints identical to Hermes scarf. I have no idea why I bought it, I'm not even sure if I'm gonna use it but I do like the prints.


OK look... my wardrobe is just a disaster. I took the privilege of an hour on Sunday to tidy up this mess. Then I ran for 30 minutes at the gym which is quite refreshing and did some weight lifting as well. I put on 3kg, and can you imagine how huge the pork is if you asked for 3kg at the market? Tell this to a girl who just put on a few pounds.


My dinner... I think I will be eating SUBWAY for a month as dinner for the sake of my diet. This beauty only cost 320 calories per serving and 5.0g of fats. This sandwich wraps up my Sunday night on the bed while watching those DVDs that I've bought. Still... Simple is bliss, I'm living up with this quote. :P

Late Lunch

Was supposed to meet up my friends for lunch at Paragon on a warm Sunday but I woke up too late to join them. They were done with lunch and started off with their shopping spree around the Siam Square area. The traffic to city was light and it wasn't a problem looking for a parking space at Paragon on Sunday. In no time I'm there. Since they were busy doing their own business already, I took some sweet time to spent my late-lunch at greyhound cafe. It's been a long while since the last time I patronized here. Wanted to try some of the food in the special "BKK-OSLO-BKK" menu but it was not there anymore. So back to basic.. Ordered the garlic and bacon fried rice that comes with a soup, and a glass of ice blended Thai milk tea. Such a simple pleasuring meal on a warm Sunday.
Cooling ice blended Thai milk tea..
Garlic & bacon fried rice. Lot's of garlic, for true garlic lover only.
When eating alone...


Always enjoy dining at this cozy cafe.

A Fishy Dinner


I took the chance to bring Bill & Kate to one of BKK's chickiest restaurant located in the alleys of Sukhumvit road during their stay in BKK. Here we are at Fat Fish. At a glance, this little french bistro around the corner of a junction added a lit of light that brightens up the dull corner. It was a rainy night and this would be the perfect place for our dinner. Rain drops drizzles on the glass panel adds up the moods to what seemingly as a romantic dinner (for Bill & Kate) and the brick wall generates a well amount of warm and cozy atmosphere to this restaurant.









Enough of how the place sets the mood for the night. On the contrary, the food is decently nice. They have some red meat main courses on the menu but the name of the restaurant says it all and of course we are ordering the fish dish.
Complimentary... home baked breads with butter, olive oil and tuna spread.

Soup of the day... Tomatoes with cream.
NZ mussels baked with cheese and bacon crisp. It has a very strong oceanic taste despite all that cheese.
My starter.. Prawns ravioli in creame. Very good and they are quite generous with the scallops. Can you see it?
My main... Always love grilled salmon but make sure it is medium cooked. Salmon doesn't taste good if it is fully cooked.
Kate's black cod as main.
Bill's Red Garoupa as main.
Haha... all time favorite dessert. Chocolate fondant with vanilla ice cream.
Bread pudding... I like the sweetness but the texture is a bit too soft.
The dinner was great, we are happy and satisfied with the food we had. The rain just wouldn't stop so we took our own sweet time hanging there until the restaurant closes. With Bill around, photo whoring is unavoidable.
