{2016} Bangkok Trip ( Berkeley Hotel Review, SabX2 Thai Wanton Noodles)

-
hello lovelies,

It has been a long break ne~ During CNY 2016, i made my annual trip to Bangkok and as ever, the city had something to treat us to.
We arrived by SQ and headed over to Big C to wash our hair at our trusty salon. As it was the night before the eve of CNY, there were a few locals there doing their hair and one girl had a digital perm and it turned out stunning.
We went down to supermarket on the 2nd floor to grab the favourities and they was a whole array of goods that the Chinese people favoured lined up ready for grabs. Examples include Snail White cream ( which turned out to be not gross but really moisturizing), Elephant brand oil, ele sleeping mask( purple) and variants of the inhaler that is used for relieving stuffy nose. MAMA instant noodles are ready in boxes for easy carrying back home together with cuttlefish,seaweed etc. I love tom yam flavoured pretz~

 Berkeley Hotel ( click here to read 2015's more detailed version)
We chose the Luxury as there is no need to transfer like last year and we got the 29 storey~








Platinum Mall from the room. Hence , its really super near.





The hairdressers on the top floor of Big C Mall


We went to grab dinner at KaiTon Chicken Rice cos we missed it last year cos it was closed from 1st day of CNY to the 5th day.



Its a directly opp the hotel and u walk down the green shirt chicken rice ( which had a queue sometimes too)


Bittergourd Soup which we ordered, it was really good with the bittergourd flavour. Worth a try


Thai Milk Tea which was so fragrant and thick<3

Tadaahh. The rice was abit sticky and it was fragrant and not overly oily.


Thai Papaya Salad ( drools cos its so good)



Their namecard


Walk towards the direction of Big C to get my fix of Pad Thai and Egg Omelette

As usual so good:)

The one at Chatuchak still wins no matter what. This was from the night market outside Isetan and it was full of sugar.

See this disaster? abX2 Thai Wanton Noodles was closed on 30 of CNY which is weird cos normally people close on 1st day of CNY. We went back on 10th which was 3rd day based on the info from the opposite souvenir soup ( which sells the Snail White Cream cheaper than the ones at Big C supermarket) The queue for the noodles at 845 in the morning was crazy. i think there were at least 30 people infront of us and it was relatively dangerous cos cars were going in 2 directions in  this small lane.We had to keep moving to avoid being hit by the cars.The noodles were great and the pig trotters even better but is the queue worth it? I say nahh. How to get there from Berkeley Hotel is crossing the bridge at D Palladium and walking straight down till u see Macdonalds . Before Macdonalds, turn in and you will see the long queue. A point to note  is that everyone queueing is either Singaporean or Hongkonger.

Walking back from Wanton Noodles made us crave for our favourite Banana Chocolate Crepe






Gel Nails i did at a roadside stall when u walk at the night market downstairs at the hotel. the massage parlour beside the nail shop has a great foot massage too


One point that was crazy was the weather. It was freezing in the morning when i went to the morning market and had to buy hot coffee to warm my body up~ it hit 18degrees ( what was i doing in shorts and a tee?) Even at Chatuchak i didnt sweat at all and it was a little chilly at times ( global warming what are you)

hello lovelies Today i am gonna introduce you guys to a place where you can breakfast if you are staying in the vicinity of Bukit Indah~~! This place has good seafood that i tried once ( in fact the entire row of shop houses sell pretty decent seafood!) In the morning this place has a wide variety of food to choose from ! Abalone noodles. Here there are individual stalls so do look carefully~!!! this was really good. The soup was super flavorful and there are so many ingredients such as kidney, prawns, one oyster, fish cake,abalone and vegetables. The bowl was full of ingredients!!The noodles are really smooth too!~~ Char Kuay Teow here reminds me of the famous one at Bedok~~ Nice~ This was the softest and smoothest chee cheong fan that i have ever eaten~!! Sliced fish mee hoon kuay. The mee hoon kuay is also good here!!!! I don't have photos of the other things that i ate as battery was running low but do try the dough fritters near the roadside beside the...

{2017} Review of Klub Hotel Pratunam, Bangkok!

Hey guys! Its been a long time since my last post and its great to be back! Today I am going to do a review about Klub Hotel which i stayed in last month when I was in Bangkok for a short getaway!  So I landed at BKK Suvarnabhumi Airport and took a cab at the public taxi stand, at B1 of the airport to the city, the taxi driver was really nice, he helped us load all of our luggage ( 4 people) into the boot (pro af). He also called the hotel and ask about how to get there before we set off! We were really blessed! I was contemplating to call for a Grab but thankfully I did not have to do so! This is the receipt we got from the taxi stand, they have automated machines according what car type you need! Super efficient and I think Changi needs them!  We arrived at the hotel around 30 minutes later as we arrived quite early at 10am BKK time so there was not much traffic. Name Card! Just tell regular taxi drivers Petchaburi Soi 13 and they will know! Also around the ar...

Review on Hallmark Crown Hotel(Melaka) 2014!~

Hello guys~!! My previous post touched on the food in Melaka so let me review the hotel that we stayed in for a night.  Note that all comparisons will be against a hotel that we stayed in the previous time for a similar time, Formosa Garden Hotel. Firstly the hotel was a bit hard to find as it was on the GPS, not sure if our GPS is old or ...:/ But we got directions from the shopping mall and it was relatively easy to find. Around 2 mins from Mahkota Parade, go in the direction of Hotel Equatorial, and when Hotel Equatorial is on your left, take note and keep right. Go straight all the way and when you see a church on the left, you know you are near. See this sign and turn into the hotel's carpark. Tadahhh:) The lobby.Check in was smooth and staff was friendly.  Super cool feature on the door. Touchscreen too! Impressed:)  Corridor~  Room was bigger and better furnished than we expected for the rates we paid and compared to Formosa ...
