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 .

6th pair of harem pants with a bit of drama at the end



By now , whenever I pass by this particular Pakistani trader's stall , I always make it a point to go check out the harem pants corner.
New arrival this . Somewhat similar to the muddy teh tarik coloured carp design I purchased from him earlier  .
.

From experience , this material does not require much care nor ironing like a madwoman ...

Girlfriend Jacket - Perks of being a Cotton On member !


Been seeing these feminine designs all over the place , from Guess right down to those Thai street fairs .
 At Guess , you might have to cough up MYR 400 and above for it , while those street fairs ....just MYR 29 or so .

But I've been hesitant until today when I decided to utilise the shopping voucher . Anyone who signs up for their brand new membership card , on top of collecting points , is guaranteed to receive a voucher in your email you see . The catch is , you'll need to purchase above MYR 80 to redeem the MYR 30 ( just show the cashier the barcode sent to your email and that's it ) . I have absolutely no problem spending MYR 80 here ,as I have a long list of items I love from this store .

Follow up to an unexpected reaction


Yesterday , was the first time I wore the newly purchased Kitschen dress out . 
Into a sewing wholesale shop I trooped , and as I was standing alone , in one of the quiet aisles , I got a reaction that made me go get this Pink Nude scarf from Cotton On .
