Thailand Trip (5-9 may)
the 5d4n thailand trip with andy was almost all about food~! haha~! surprisingly didnt do much shopping this time round...both of us put on alot of weight...n kindda got paranoid about the extra pounds n inches...badddd...but thankfully we're slowly losing it liao...=P

day 1
met andy after my last paper n we headed straight 4 the airport...had lunch at fish n co. b4 boarding the plane...




2 of my fav pix taken on the plane

when we reached thailand n settled down in our hotel (white orchid hotel in chinatown)...it was way past dinner time~! we were famished~! headed out immediately 2 scavage 4 food immediately after putting down our luggage...muahaha...the room was okie loh...nothing worth mentioning...but really not 2 bad considering the price we paid...got daily buffet breakfast some more...anyway...it was gonna be 4 lodging only...so...didnt bother tt much~! =P

we walked around abit b4 settling 4 this chinese restaurant...had tom yam soup, hotplate shirmpball with cutterfish, n crispy noodles with beef...they looked so-so...but tasted fantastic~! got standard 1 leh~! (yah...i 4got 2 bring my cam with me 2 the restaurant so there r no pix...bleah...=P)

day 2
okie...many pple hav told me tt they went on a shopping frenzy at chatuchat...but both of us juz didnt find anything fantastic 2 buy~! ended up getting 2 bags (but not 4 ourselves), cute voodoo dolls, some weird squash balls 4 fun...yah...ttz it~! surprising huh...spent 6 hours there some more...haha...*shrugs*

then headed 2 the hotel 2 dump our stuff b4 heading 4 MBK...had lunch at sushi tei...rather disappointing as compared 2 the 1 in singapore...but still not 2 bad...yup...

walked around but didnt get anything...then had dinner at KFC...thailand's KFC is definitely better than singapore's...the chicken is much more juicy n tender...not overly oily n tastes nicer as well...


crispy 2 piece n devil drumlets


shrimp wrap


day 3
went 2 siam square n then siam paragon...basically the number of brands tt they hav over there beats singapore flat~! they brought in so many brands tt singapore doesnt hav...even their supermarket at siam paragon has so much more 2 offer...siam square carried the mid-range brands...n siam paragon carries the high end luxury brands...yup~!

there was this brand of ice-cream called "ice-cream factory" or something...S$6 for 2 scoops of blackforest cold-fried ice-cream...chocolate ice-cream, brownies, pie cherries, chocolate chips...the whole concogtion was really thick...was more than worth the money~!
