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.

(sounds vulgar gila kan HAHAHAHAHAHA)



A Spanish-Mexican restaurant located on the Greenwich Village in Manhattan. My friends and I were just walking blindly into places to eat, so we settled into this one because the cuisine seemed interesting. I've eaten Mexican food these few years, and not exactly Spanish, and because I'm slightly cacat, I would assume Mexico and Spain is the same country. HAHAHA



Don't be fooled by the posh crowd. As this was Saturday, where the B&T's (bridge & tunnel people- non new yorkers) come in with killer dresses and suits while we wore like kampung.


Like most latin dining, they usually serve taco/tortilla chips with salsa first, which I am not exactly fond of. Their chips are usually dry, which is not for my savoury-type of tongue.




My style of dining would be a plate or two of appetizer to share, and then a nice fat entree to be shared as well. I think it's an asian thing for to be kongsi-mongsi, and no wonder orang lain tend to look at us because of this behaviour kut??? At least we don't bazir the food that way, kan?



My friend Midnight Miss Suki (hahahaha sila google). I absolutely love wine collections, though I don't drink 'em. Makes your badan too panas lah!


And here comes my appetizer: Alitas Michoacan. It's basically marinated chicken with chipotle BBQ sauce. HAHAHAHAHAHA




My friend Joanne ordered Paella Marinera, it's like nasi biryani with seafood and lobster, but without taste. The fishy smell was so strong because of its lack of seasoning and spice (they left it boiled camtu je) and I wasn't so fond into digging in the paella sangat. Midnight Miss Suki got this heavily salted octopus meal called Pulpo a la Gallega, which apparently on the menu says:

"octopus Galecian style sauteed with paprika, extra virgin olive oil and sea salt"



Seriously, the sea salt was more like pebble salts. I accidentally bit into one and it drove me mad. MAD.



Clockwise from top left: chips, paella marinera, pulpo a la gallega, salsa, marinated chicken.



MY RATING: 2.5 out of 5 stars (due to smelly paella and supersalty pulpo)
