Dinner for two ladies

Dammit i miss the food at Bangkok! Dammit i miss REAL FOOD!

I’ve been deprived from real food for two weeks already! Oh wait, make that three. I’ve been having nothing but soup noodles since i fell sick and it should be obvious that i’m bored of it already. A lot of food are off limits to me cause this nasty cough won’t go away. But the good news is that it’s making progress, slowly but surely.

I want a lot of stuff. I want McDonald’s, nasi lemak, bak ku teh, KFC, chicken mushroom pie, Carls Jr, McDonalds, sashimi, tempura, french fries, McDonalds, Coca-cola, KFC, Nandos, ikan bakar, McDonalds, taiwan sausage, cendol, and cake.

I swear that when i get well, no one can stop me from eating before bed time. Cause i wanna!

OKAY BANGKOK.

During our first night, we wanted to try something different for dinner. So we took a walk down to Central to see what’s there to eat.

Along the way to Central, there were a couple of hawker stalls by the street. Each stall served pretty much the same thing. Their concept was like “dai ciao”. We also guessed that their specialty was fish.

We were a bit worried at first bout communicating while ordering, but fortunately they gave us menus when we sat down at the table. Since it was just me and my sister, we ordered two dishes, a bowl of tom yum soup, and rice. We’re not very big eaters so we went minimal.

Fish

Barbeque beef

Very awesome

The fish was very fresh and tender. Not very bony either. The skin however is tough and salty. So don’t bother trying the fish skin unless you’re into that salty stuff, eeee..

The barbeque beef on the other hand, is pretty much like our char siew back home. The tom yum.. well, taste like ordinary tom yum to me.. except spicier. However, the serving was so big that we didn’t get to finish it. What a waste.

The bill was alright.  A little more than 200 baht for two persons. BUT!! That was before they added the tom yum soup into the bill, cause they forgot. Buggers.

The ACTUAL bill was about 400 baht. That crazy bowl of tom yum costs 150 baht!

Next time, screw the idea of wanting to taste authentic tom yum at Thailand. Almost everything here is spicy, so might as well save your ass from too much spice.

Sigh, i’m still in the process of recovering. All i can say is that at least i’m feeling a lot better than the week before, so yeap. I’ve been pretty occupied lately with uni and stuff so i don’t really have the mojo to type.

I’m making a little effort here to say that i’ll try to make a couple of updates soon cause i have a lot of stuff to write about. Bangkok, some bazaar i went to, Heineken Green Room, and probably some other shit too. So stick around, please? :)

Hennessy Artistry, the return

dsc04224

Okay, so let’s rewind.

Hennessy Artistry was a week plus ago. I didn’t think i was going cause i couldn’t be bothered bout asking for passes from anyone. Plus, Fatman Scoop and Ying Yang Twins? Dotdot..

But there was a change in plans cause pp had tickets to the party, so why not?

I personally think that this Hennessy Artistry event wasn’t all that. If anyone missed out on this, don’t worry cause you didn’t miss out much anyways.

Parking was insane as usual. There was a mad long stretch of cars parked bumper to bumper at the street. A lot were parked at odd places too. Some even just ran their ride up some divider and left it there.

Inside was packed like crazy. Not to mention that it was quite stuffy too. There were so many sweaty people around and i’m embarrassed to say that i was kinda one of them.

There were divided sections for different cliques like the previous Hennessy event, this time it’s V, S, O, and P. The bloggers were at the S section as media (i think) and i was at the O section. Don’t know what O was for but okay.

Hot, sweaty, and stuffy. Okay, time to get a drink. What’s there to drink? We didn’t really bother. All i knew was apple&hennessy was the most decent mix for the night.

The music?

Layan-able. Honestly i enjoyed it better after Ying Yang Twins got off the stage.

Met some familiar people, took some pictures, met some strange people, continued to drink some more, saw some tipsy people, made them drink some more, shimmied to the music a little bit, talked and laughed, and then drank some more.. cause i was thirsty.

I don’t know why i keep encountering people who can”t stop spilling their drinks. Hold on to them tight or just finish the whole damn thing, geez.

Joshua escorted me to the S section cause i wanted to say hi to some bloggers. I ended up meeting only three bloggers cause everyone was all over the place. I then gladly waddled back to O cause i had a pp to get back too.

More pictures which i most probably won’t bother captioning much after the jump. Cause i’m lazy.

(more…)
