Ponn Cafe

June in Bangkok is a really good time to go sampling their shrimps . Unlike the beginning of the year , where the weather can get pretty temperate these days , the sun was unbearably unforgiving . But that seemed to have brought out the best in the produce this region has to offer . Chillies are hotter , fruits are sweeter , shrimps are firmer and fresher ( really no idea why ) and if you are lucky , you can also get to sample some off season flowers in your omelette .

Hawker Chan - now in Bangkok

My jaw dropped wide open when I saw this .

Hawker Chan has now opened its first restaurant in Bangkok ...

Kono Pizza - Pizza Cone

We practically spent all our time at this mall. Eating.

Thus we also tried Kono Pizza .

Because of the novel idea you see down below.

Pier 21 - pigout on a budget

Here's what most foreigners make a beeline for. 

The popular egg omelette stall.Me, I started with a 20 baht 3 vegie order and by our last visit progressed to a double omelette . 

Underneath the egg is a generous cupping of rice and while it is very good, make sure you devour it while it is still piping hot. 

Not too oily , cheap and nice .

Pier 21 - the best foodcourt in Bangkok

Pier 21 is a foodcourt that operates on a prepaid card system. Something essential because of the massive amount of diners that converge here on a daily basis. 

So massive that cutting down on queueing time is a must and the workers are so clockwork efficient , even if you're on a diet , at least drop by for the sights !

Jeffer Steak - Terminal 21

It's my third Jeffer Steak outlet. 

First was at Silom Complex , followed by Major Cineplex. The franchise is hugely popular amongst Thais because of the pricing , which means it can be fairly difficult to get a table during peak dining period. 

Today, the menu has expanded to include spaghetti soup noodles . With a 3 levels of spice indicator for you to pick from. 

Am no Beef Pho fan. Absolutely hate the overdose of sharp , sweet,  fresh herbs in that. 

Much prefer the Malaysian Chinese version of Beef Soup Noodles where preserved salted vegies are the mainstay. 

What they serve here leans more towards the Malaysian version ...as such it sits very well on the palatte with me. 

Presented in a massive bowl , we laughed at the ridiculous size when it first arrived at our table. Compare the cola cup to the size of the bowl and I hope you get the idea. 

Think they boiled the soup with either Mui Choy or local Kiam Chye , then topped it with sprigs of cilantro resulting in a hearty broth with many delightful pieces of meat to chew on. 

Though we selected 2 chillies , this is still very hot, so if you aren't a spice fan, try level one. 

Nice ! 

Tongue Fun - ice cream in a hot pot of cold dry ice

It looks like liquid nitrogen ice cream but is actually ice cream arranged in a mini hotpot container with a funnel for the dry ice smoke to stream out of . 

Get it ?

Back to the basics .

BonChon - Terminal 21

When you see a line that takes a minimum of half an hour of queueing just to get a table space in Bangkok , join in.

As you can see, all the sexy leggy beautiful Thai ladies want in on this ot, hot ,Korean fried chicken restaurant. 

You betcha I'll wanna try it out as well ! 

Yoshinoya Terminal 21 - example of a growing malaise

Warning : another rant . Admire the bowl and move on if you don't like reading such posts. 

A dragon, the San Francisco bridge and other displays found at Terminal 21

It's the Chinese New Year and all the great shopping complexes in Bangkok will feature dragons every few years.

Highly regarded by the Chinese, so far, from where I'm standing it looks promising

Terminal 21 - 9 floors of amazing Toilets

You know I still can't believe I went to check out 5 floors out of 9 floors of themed toilets in Bangkok ! There are toilets on both ends and I think you might need to dedicate half a day just to go use and check them out. Bear in mind , that this goofy activity is purely a woman thing. Menfolk will get pretty fed up with you by the third loo. Managed to cover San Francisco Pier, Istanbul, London, Tokyo, Rome ....missed out Carribean , Paris , San Francisco ( City ) and Hollywood. Shucks. 

1. Let's start with San Francisco (Pier )

There's a crab on top holding the entrance sign 

Where some well dressed Malaysian hotties have been getting their dresses

I don't always look at dresses but am sure some of you do. If you have noticed lately, some ladies have been wearing some pretty striking dresses to events and such.

Well, don't wonder anymore. Book that flight to Bangkok and head to Terminal 21's Japan floor.
