Bangkok Food with the Mumsies

This will be the continuous Bangkok entry from my last. I have already talk about shopping, staying in Bangkok and it's time to talk about the food there. As you know food here are very localize, cheap and delicious!

You can definitely get localize food anywhere in Bangkok streets. One of my favourite street food is from Chatuchak Market (only opens on weekends). It's once place you can get good food and shopping all day long.
Thai Fish Ball Noodle
Beef Ball Noodle
Pad Thai (it's like Chow Keow Teow but Thai sytle)
Another Hound Cafe was introduced by my aunt because it's one of her favourite place in Bangkok and it has now become mine too. Another Hound Cafe is a sister company of Greyhound Cafe, it's located in Siam Paragon. Another Hound Cafe is Italian dining with a twist, I can say is a Thai twist.
Entrance
I love the decorations of the cafe. You are greeted with large beautiful flowers outside the cafe and inside of the cafe.
They also have unique chandelier designs and wall paintings. 
Of course! When in Thailand, must drink Thai beers, Singha is gooood. Refreshing!
Spaghetti Cha Cha Cha (it's basically squid ink spaghetti with prawn and scallop, very spicy) 
Chicken Wings
Minced pork and smoked bacon balls
Light Tom Yam soup
Pad Thai (my favourite food)
Spaghetti with Thai style pork balls with tomato sauce
Tub Tim Krob (water chestnut with coconut meat and coconut cream - a Thailand must eat dessert) 
Coconut sherbet 
We all enjoyed our dinner at Another Hound Cafe very much, love this place a lot!

We also went to another lovely restaurant at Central World called Nara Thai Cuisine. Also another restaurant introduced by my aunt.

Holiday Inn Express Bangkok Siam with the Mumsies

If you remember, I had posted about my Bangkok haul previously shopping with the mumsies in Bangkok. This post will be about where we stayed.
Some sky view before showing you the hotel
Holiday Inn Express Bangkok Siam is one of the newer hotels you can find in central Bangkok. It's location is convenient to travel around central Bangkok for food and shopping. It is walking distance to MBK shopping mall, walking distance to BTS National Stadium station. 

The Reception
All the receptionists are friendly and helpful. You can get their free WiFi and password here! Yeah!


Look! How clean, modern and spacious their room is! I'm sharing the room with mom but I think the room can fit 4 persons. One thing I like most about the room is their PILLOWS! They even labeled soft or firm pillows for you to choose! I dislike hotels which only has either one type of pillows and most of the time their firm pillows are actually hard.
Beverage counter
View from my room
This one of the best hotel breakfast I ever had. It comes with variety of western breakfast and most of all it has a 'Grab and Go' concept for usually business people who are on their rush.   
Who doesn't love a good toast with peanut butter and chocolate spread?! Their yogurt comes in different flavours, love them all!
There have coffee, tea, hot chocolate for you to choose from. Muffins and pastries are good. 

See the Express Start sign, is where you can literally 'Grab and Go' your breakfast if you are on a rush heading out.
They have the take-away paper cup and paper cup holder for you to carry your breakfast to go. Here's a tip, you can actually stuff muffins, pastries or yogurt in the paper cup holder. Brilliant? You are welcome ;p


Their breakfast lounge ambiance is very comfortable and spacious too. You don't have to be afraid of waking up late and the lounge is full of people.

They even have an outdoor seating for you, if you want to feel like having a breezy breakfast.
They also have an outdoor lounge on ground floor. This is what you will see before you enter to the hotel.
Another great thing about this hotel is there's a massage salon just right beside it. MUST have massage when you go Bangkok please... because is damn cheap and good! *Ahem* Pardon my feet as I'm getting my foot massage and erm... Siam girls are hot right? LOL
Asia Bar + Kitchen is located at the ground floor too, if you don't feel like going anywhere or too tired after shopping. You can get your meal here. It is also right beside the outdoor lounge.
I'm not kidding when I say walking distance from the hotel to MBK shopping mall. This is facing me opposite of the hotel when I walk out. Just so you know, MBK shopping mall sales a lot of IT stuff, something like our Low Yat Plaza but just smaller. MBK does sell apparels, a lot of inspired bags and watches. They have the famous pork snacks too. Yumz!

I really like my stay here at Holiday Inn Express, I will surely recommend this hotel when you travel to Bangkok.

889 Rama 1,
Road Wang Mai,

Bangkok Hauls and OOTD

OK! I know this is bad that I haven't even blog about my first trip to Bangkok and I have already have a second trip back there! Forgive me but this time, I'm better. Instead of listing out what I have bought from the trip like I last blog about, I erm... dress it up for you to have a better look. Good?

This time around though was an all moms trip with me and a cousin sis, so every day is shopping, massage and food. I really can't ask for more.
All the stuff I bought
This time I definitely bought more than the last trip but I don't top the list of most bought stuff, I'm just top 3 LOL Show you guys the accessories I bought.
Feather Necklace (something like F21 right?)
Bought a compact mirror for BFF, it comes in a lot of colours but I feel grey suits her more. Some even comes in various pattern of blings too but I feel those are a bit too much.
I have been looking for this kind of makeup brush clutches for the longest time and finally I found it. So nice to finally able to keep my ELF, Bobbi Brown and MAC brushes properly and conveniently for travel. The size I bought is middle the large size can fit up to 30 brushes if I'm not mistake O.O I don't need that much.

These are some outfits which I have been wearing to work and play since the trip and there's more I haven't wear them yet, will show more of it when I get to wear them.
