Rung Rueng - uuummm that's definitely not Tom Yum dear
As mentioned in the post before this , we were on the lookout for Chinese Thai cuisine this time round .
And somehow , we ended up in Rung Rueng aka Rung Ruang , because any Chinese worth their salt will go searching for pork based dishes when they feel a little under the weather , or just on a whim .
Me , I didn't hunt this place down . The tuk tuk which brought us out from Yonomori Onsen so happened to whiz by this rather packed restaurant and of course I would notice a crowd in an alley , thus after he dropped us off at the BTS where EM Quartier is , we just had to retrace his route and turn into the small alley .
Shop # 61 - Pridi Banomyong Soi 2 Alley
When I first began exploring Bangkok , there were no apps to act as a guide . As such , travel guides stepped in to fill the wanting gap , especially when it came to satiating the gourmand me . Ah those were good times ..... the places they took us to eat were so good and yet their location was pretty much out of the way , making it rather difficult to pinpoint and locate when I returned on my own .
Most times , we were taken to mom and pop establishments run by Thai Chinese , where we had some truly satisfying offerings .
Today , that's what I'm back for this time round . Thai Chinese food .
Despite the advancements , this beaten shop was no where on anybody's good food map , yet I managed to sniff it out after a lot of stubborn perserverance and a little bit of luck .

Divine Bangkok river prawns
Yesterday night , we went back to this new place known for Teochew cuisine a second time . The first time was a miss but yesterday's garoupa was so darned out of this world , I actually forgot to take a picture and so regret that , but not to worry , we'll soon go back and hopefully you can see it for yourself . Things like this happen especially when I get startled . A wrong order to be exact . We were expecting soup and received something deep fried and tossed in black soy .
Anyway , the next closest ecstasy inducing eating experience , comparable to last night's deeeeeeeeeeelicious deep fried garoupa was this .....
Gulp !
Bangkok's grilled river prawns , from the other month ( whites of the eyes visible at this point ho yeah ) . Don't waste these succulent glorious treasures by drowning them in tomyam , plain grilled is the way to go .
Tastes like a mix between crab and prawn , flesh is tight and packed , they're huuuuuuuuugeeeee !!! oh man ....these .....you gotta hope they're in season when you fly into the kingdom !

Star dark , star bright
If you notice already by now , I like to pick up pieces which I actually like from here and there and then only think about how to piece them together in a mix and match manner later .
Sometimes it works , other times , I think to myself " what on earth was I thinking of back then ? " but most times , this habit of mine ends up with me either looking terribly peculiar or arresting depending on who's looking actually .
Now , as you already have seen from my backposts , I really don't need more earrings but then this particular stall was " throwing prices " so to speak , and of all things I had to go pick the one single earring that cost more than all the other flat priced earrings on offer . Still it cost me less than MYR 10 ( 30 baht to be exact ) , so I would still consider this quite a good buy .
Only thing I did not bargain for was the earring not staying put on sparkling black which I liked ..........

Lace lookalike playsuit
Cotton On still holds court for the best fitting playsuits that are all at once flowy , feminine and yet so outstanding in it's recognisable design and versatility .
To date , this has got to be the prettiest playsuit I've added to my wardrobe .
Long sleeves , ruffled edges on the pant leg with bell sleeves ....

Tiger striped bomber jacket from Mango
It's funny how I ended up finding yet another gem when I
was just randomly going through some clothes racks , in order to kill time .
Made in Turkey under the Mango label , it's a bomber jacket with a difference .
Compared to the oriental inspired red and off shoulder black Cotton On bomber jackets I purchased last year , this one's considerably sheer , with an inner black lining , thus making it comfortable enough to be worn even under the blazing sun .
