Bangkok 2013: Food, food, FOOD! (Part 2)

Finally a continuation of my food adventures in Bangkok. Just a disclaimer though - I'm not a food blogger and my food posts serve more as a guide and a collection of memories rather than a recommendation. Hence, my vocabulary will tend to stick to words like "OMNOMNOM" and "delicious" HAHAHAHA. To me, the pictures do most of the talking? :) 

Seriously though, I hope my posts give you readers some ideas on where to go! Food in Bangkok is almost all excellent so you can't really go wrong with any stall! :) 

To read part 1 of my Bangkok food trail, go here. 

We went to Chinatown to search for some amazing food and we found it! The journey there was torturous though, so much traffic!! 

We walked past a really really crowded seafood restaurant but nope we didn't want to have seafood so we just walked on and found this really crowded area in a small alley. I'm so glad we stopped there because the food was glorious! 

I'm not sure of the restaurant's name and location because we just stumbled upon it. So here are some photos! 

The next day, we decided to have a good breakfast/brunch and Yinghui highly recommended after you Dessert Cafe and so off we went! We read online that there was always a queue so we went a little bit early and HAHA we were their first customers.

Anyway, I will highly HIGHLY urge you to visit this cafe (they have a lot of branches! Refer to their website here) because the toasts were DELICIOUS. So sinful, but ARGH SO GOOD!! You can really taste the butter and even though it's possibly going to cause a heart attack if eaten frequently, you just can't stop! I'm dying to have one right now!!

My favourite has got to be the Shibuya Toast. Prices can be a little steep for Bangkok standard but if you compare it to brunch places in Singapore, this place is a complete bargain!

Let me rant about something. I don't understand how certain cafes in Singapore dare to charge more than S$20 for eggs benedict??? And then you get two minuscule servings of poached eggs on english muffins? WTF IS UP?! If you want to charge me more than S$20 you better put in effort to whatever you are serving to me! No side salad?? Just poached eggs on english muffin with a terrible hollandaise sauce and you charge more than S$20?? Daylight robbery. I understand you have high maintenance costs and whatever but you WILL NOT get repeat customers if you practice such dishonesty. What happens after is not a surprise AT ALL - the cafe closed down because only flies came in to enjoy their food. DUMB.

Ok rant over.

Just look at how much I'm getting for what I paid. Two scoops of ice cream?? EXCELLENT! Yinghui and I are both big eaters but we couldn't even finish one Shibuya Toast and one Matcha Toast (We ordered two to share!)

Matcha Toast was also a delight. Please try this in Bangkok! :D

In Bangkok, it's actually quite difficult to find a place that sells Phad Thai. I was googling for the best place to have Phad Thai and this restaurant was the most recommended online! Even Misstamchiak recommended it so yes we have to go!!

Thip Samai Restaurant

Samran Rat, Phra Nakhon Bangkok 10200, Thailand

This restaurant specialises in Phad Thai and other variations of the Thai noodle dish. We were queueing and waiting for our table when we noticed that it's like a Phad Thai churning factory. Two men were in charge of just frying the noodles, a lady was in charge of portioning then two men were in charge of just coating the noodles with egg. BAM BAM TEN PORTIONS DONE. Super fast!

Orange juice in Bangkok is so sweet and refreshing. Gotta have some form of juice every time we dined!

The star of the night - Phad Thai! There's really a difference to this Phad Thai and those in Singapore. This was moist and slightly on the sweet side, while those in Singapore are more like a lighter and sweeter char kway teow.

We didn't eat ours with peanut because lol we didn't know we could ask for peanuts until we were done with our phad thai. But it was still extremely good!

Our last meal in Bangkok was from A&W. LOL. We just had to!!

I ordered fried chicken waffles for breakfast (yes breakfast!) and wtf I was not expecting my ice coffee to be served in such a huge-ass mug. O.o

Curly fries for breakfast!! The awesome thing about A&W is that they serve EVERYTHING on the menu even during breakfast. You can have the usual breakfast set or you can have your burgers. Anything you want on the menu, you can order it!!

The sinful fried chicken waffles burger that was very satisfying. :')

So that's that! It was such an amazing trip with great friends and great hotel (YAY GLOW!), and especially great food. Can't wait to come back to Bangkok again for more amazingness! :D

Hopefully my BKK posts have been useful! Thanks for reading guys! HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY! :D
