Bangkok Trip Part 3

Eating @ Bangkok

For the first time in my life, I felt like a real pig cos I was constantly fed with food. Haha! Every morning, there's very breakfast buffet offered in the hotel where you get to eat every single kind of eggs. Scrambled eggs, omettle, hard-boiled eggs, soft-boiled eggs, fried eggs... eggs and more eggs. Now I am so sick of eggs.

On the first night, we went to Baiyoke Sky hotel (Bangkok's highest hotel) for our international buffet at their 78th floor. The view from the restuarant was really fantastic. You can see their city so beautifully lit up at night and the many vehicles travelling on the highways. After dinner, we went up to their 83th floor which was a revolving deck that allowed you to view Bangkok round and round unobstructed. It's open air somemore and pretty cold at night. I felt so sick after eating so much cos I was forced to eat by DD. Argh. So bad.

The following night we headed to Chinatown for my long awaited shark fins and bird nests. Hmmm... yummy. The street on both side of Chinatown (Yaowarat Road) were lined up with many street vendors that sell bird nest, shark fins, pig trotters and seafood. As it's going to be Chinese New Year soon, you can also see many stalls selling Chinese new year goodies like Mandarin Oranges (Seen those very very small ones sold in a basket.), chun lian, those "dong dong chiang" chinese new year songs vcd and decors.


Chinatown. The place for shark fins and bird nest. Orh.. thats where you buy the original "gao sai" (a kind of meat floss roll that resemble dog shit) with the pig logo. DD bought 1000 THB worth of "dog shit" k.....
