Happy Ramadhan + Syawal

Hello to my dear girlies and also readers out there. I've been m.i.a for quite awhile and after noticing that my girls has each posted something i guess it's high time i did too! At the same time i would like to wish all of you a warm Selamat menyambut Ramadhan and the coming Syawal. I will be missing celebrating Eid this year as I am still in Bangkok and will be facing my final exams during the 1st week of Eid actually. Which means no baking Eid goodies, no family gatherings, no open houses, no ketupat, lemang, rendang, etc...Booooooooooooo... :(

Enough about that, now I think it's time to post about Thai food! These are photos of delicious food all around Bangkok that I've compiled during the months that I've been here so enjoy... :)


Crispy fried beef (daging goreng)


from bottom: Crab fried rice, Stir-fried crab thai style, cockles (kerang rebus)


clockwise from bottom: Condiments to accompany fresh oysters, fresh oysters, deep fried fish with mango salad sauce


Pad Thai (a must have/try whenever in Thailand)


Crispy on the outside with a soft inside bread smothered with chocolate sauce and kaya
I had this in Chinatown and it was sooooooooooooooooooooo gooooooooooooooooood! *drools*
There were many other choice for toppings, just to name a few, there's condensed milk, milo, peanut butter, jam, spicy chilli...


Thai style chicken stew on white rice with egg


Som Tum (papaya salad)
This particular som tum was super spicey, look at the amout of cili padi!
I was tearing while eating it but it was good nevertheless.


D.I.Y grilled beef


Pandan chicken


Shrimp and coconut salad appetizer shots and traditional Thai fish cakes


Deep fried calamari


Soft shell crab rolls


Japanese-Thai fusion salad with udon, salmon, oranges, leaves and thai style dressing (funkay funkay...)


Thai green curry chicken


Crispy fried fish (i'm not sure but i think it's sole fish?)


Thai style crab and bamboo shoot curry


Spicy chilli fish


Stir fried chilli crab with basil


Deep fried stingray


Blanched fresh prawns (is that right translation for udang rebus?)


Grilled scallops on half shells with garlic


Yum Pla Salit (spicy sweet and sour salad with crispy fish)
Pla Salit is a certain type of fish which is cut into small pieces and deep fried. One of my favourites.


Clear seafood tomyum soup


Stir-fried fish with thai chilli sauce


Fusion salad with soft shell crab


Geng som pla (sour orange soup with fish)
This Thai soup is usually fiery-hot with both sweet and sour overtones that makes a lively combination, especially with fish or seafood. (similar to our asam pedas)


Fusion spaghetti with Pla Salit (crispy fish)


Khao pad pla salit (fried rice with yet again the crispy fish)


Khao niew ma muang (mango with sticky rice)
The famous dessert of thailand. It is usually just mango, sticky rice and coconut milk but I had this at a restaurant and they served it with coconut ice-cream instead. Extra yummy!

Will be back with more...stay tuned.

Dinner @ Madam Kwan's

Madam Kwan's is a 'kopitam like restaurant' serving local dishes. Recently, Z and I had dropped by the branch in Bangsar to give it a try. The most famous dish here is Nasi Bojari which is a type of Indonesian coloured rice that comes with assam prawns, beef rendang and deep fried chicken. That's what i had. The rice has a nice aromatic taste and deep fried chicken was crispy on the outside but soft and tender inside...mmm :)

Z had Nasi Lemak which came with chicken curry, sambal ikan bilis and acar (pickled vegetables) which was placed in a separate serving. The nasi lemak was good but to me i think nasi bojari is way better.

They had mouthwatering local desserts here such as ice batu campur, cendol, bubur cha cha, sago gula melaka and more but the portions of the rice was so big that we had no space for any of those. :(

Girls Day Out...

A day out together again with D, Kim and myself. Today we spent nearly 10 hours together starting at 10 in the morning. I went to pick D up in Subang and then we headed straight to Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman. Megasale just started and it was perfect time for me to find some material to make my "baju raya". Kim was at a job interview in KL as well, while the both of us were busy hopping from one store to the other. After a couple of hours, Kim joined us at Jln TAR and after we were done the 3 of us proceeded to One Utama. D was gonna look for shoes, we had to eat lunch and catch a movie after.

Had a hard time deciding where to eat and we finally came up with 3 options. It was either gonna be Secret Recipe, Nandos or Cafe Delicious. And because Kim had gone to the launch of Delicious in the new Bangsar Village II the night before, she insisted we try it out because apparently the food was really good. So we did.

Our table number 6...i like their cooling concept colors of white, beige and blue...very relaxing and the motto here is Made With Love...


The menu consists of 5 main categories which are breakfast, all-day dining, afternoon tea, drinks and desserts. We were suppose to get desserts after because they look really yummy but ended not because we were just so stuffed after eating our meals...But i personally will definately go back to try their desserts...just look at it.



NEED I SAY MORE... :) So anyway back to our lunch.


I had the Thai Beef Salad (RM21.90). It comes in a huge portion of medium-rare pan-seared steak with mango salad. Well balanced taste of sweet, salty, sour and spicy. Refreshing and filling.


Kim had their Homemade Pesto Spaghettini (RM14.90) with added chargrilled chicken (RM4.90). Again with the huge portion and pesto was good. I tried some and loved it.


D had Carbonara Spaghettini (RM17.90). It is cooked with wild mushrooms, beef bacon, oregano and cream. Very generous with the bacon as you can see but according to D since she's a 'carbonara expert' that she prefers the one at Pizza Uno compared to here.

Overall, good ambience, good service and good food. Will definately be coming back for more!
