Bangkok day 5 - Going back home =(

Why do skies look prettier everywhere else except Singapore?


P/s. Cab journey to the airport was slightly more expensive but much much faster. It's the tolls I think.
P/p/s. There's a Naraya inside the departure hall too so I shopped again! Lol.

Anyway that's the end of my short 5-day holiday to Bangkok. And then it's back to reality. Truckload of shit at work dealing with a super unprofessional backstabbing asshole managing director. Shall I plan for a short nearby getaway or save for my 안녕하세요?

Bangkok day 4 - Chatuchak & Central World

Day 4 was a Saturday, so off we went to Chatuchak!

Had wanted to take a cab but SSD insisted on taking the BTS. Sad. It was probably cheaper by cab too. The nearest BTS station from our hotel was Chit Lom Station, a 10-15 min walk away. Chatuchak is at Mo Chit Station, 8 stops away. No need to change trains. Fare was 42B (SGD1.70) each, one way. Now you see why it was probably cheaper going by cab. =.= And I can't help but compare every country's trains to ours. Yep, ours still suck.


Breakfast at one of the roadside stalls! Shrimp fried rice and tomyum maggi. Normal lor. Lol.


Chatuchak is a super duper messy place to shop. We had a map and it was divided into sections and everything, but we still had no idea where we were and how to start shopping. In the end we just walked. And walked. And walked. Pretty sure we were going around in circles lol. 

Got street food too! Overheard someone saying that the stall we bought the coconut ice cream from wasn't the "real" one. I think the "real" one has a flag? But seriously, isn't it just coconut ice cream? Got real and fake ice cream? -_- Overdosed on quail eggs too. Too hard to resist. And then we got some honey grilled pork from one of the stalls inside. It was the bestest pork I've ever tasted! Really! (Man I ate so much meat this few days.) We only bought 100g. Wish we bought more. =(


There were lots of different stuff at Chatuchak. From clothing to souvenirs to bags and hardware, pottery, fake flowers, and even soap, which I was really really tempted to get. Lol. But my main goal was actually the pet section. By some luck we managed to find it. And I was so so disappointed.

To be fair, I was only looking to get toys and a carrier. But the toys were horribly old and disgusting, while the carriers were either too small, or not ventilated enough. People who dress their dogs up would go crazy there though. TONS of doggie clothes. I bought a CNY dress for Popo for fun. Less than 100B (SGD4). There were lots of leashes/collars too, and some beds. Oh I did get a small little bag for Popo at 200B (SGD8), and saw the same one selling at Central World that night for 390B (SGD15.60)!

Anyway, what really irked me were the treats. There were lots of rawhides for sale (and everyone knows rawhides aren't good for dogs), all displayed out in the open. The kibbles and biscuits were in huge bins with a scoop in them. Oh my how can anyone feed those?! I wouldn't even buy those sealed packaged ones, much less those in bulk bins. Ewwwww! Still, we walked through the pet section twice, hoping there were some we missed. But no. So yep, disappointed me. 

I was also looking to get a fake branded bag but you know what? They cost like, 2500B (SGD100) each. Like go to hell lah. If I can pay so much for a fake I might as well get the real one. >.<

I think we spent like, 5 hours inside? Took the BTS back to the hotel for a short rest again while SSD headed opposite to collect his tailored clothes. (Is it weird that we actually have afternoon naps?) Slight problem as they accidentally packed one of his shirts to someone else and had to rush out another one for him. It came the next day. 

Dinner was at the nearby food stalls again. We chose the first stall, the one nearest to the hotel. Ordered lesser this time. The salt-grilled fish wasn't as nice as the one we had before, but the soup and omelet were nicer. I think this stall was more worth it though.


Bill came up to 605B (SGD24). I miss salt-grilled fish now. =(

Continued on to the nearby Central World for Naraya shopping! I don't really like the designs but I have to agree they're pretty cheap and good as souvenirs. No wonder the store is packed. 

I wished we walked here earlier. There were lots of restaurants, especially jap and steamboat. Argh! Other than that, the shops were more on the high-end.  

Loots! You can see I didn't shop much these few days and SSD bought way lesser. So I have no idea why our luggage got so full. *shrugs*

Bangkok day 3 - SabX2, Pratunam Market, Pantip Plaza & Chinatown

Today we finally got to try the famous SabX2 wanton noodles! SSD was pretty excited about it it seems to me. We reached there about 9+ in the morning, and there was already a long queue. In which judging by the conversations, 95% of it were Singaporeans lol. We had to wait about 20 minutes before it was our turn. Guess table for 2 is always easier. Shared a table with a Singaporean couple who simple ate a bowl of noodles each and left. Kinda waste all the time queuing right? =X


It certainly doesn't look very hygienic, but who cares right? We got a bowl of noodles each with a plate of intestines. The noodles were 50B (SGD2) while the intestines were 200B (SGD8). *faints* To be honest, they tasted good. (Yes I ate meat fml.) Good but not THAT good to make me queue up again for it. And you can see the portion isn't very big. Side note, the second Singaporean couple who shared our table were obviously also first-timers. Cos when their noodles came, the girl started grumbling on how little it was. Come on lah, if you can find your way there, you obviously read about it and know how small the portion would be. Don't be such a bitch. =\ Anyway, it's overrated. I wouldn't recommend wasting time queuing for this.

Next up is shopping again! At the nearby Pratunam Market. Actually I have no idea if it was Pratunam Market. I mean, it's the correct area and it looks like a market, I assume it IS Pratunam Market. Lol.

It's supposedly for wholesalers so you probably could bargain for more discount if you bought more pieces. I realize the prices stated are also for bulk purchases. Maybe it's just me, but the styles were just as weird as those in Platinum Mall and the prices not exactly that cheap too. So yeah, I bought like, 3 pieces, in the 2 hours we were there. Oh by the way, when the shop owners take a new piece for you, do check. Cos I didn't and came back to realize one of the tops wasn't what I wanted. No idea what to do with that now, since I can't fit in. =(

Headed opposite to Pantip Plaza. It's just like our Sim Lim Square. SSD's heaven lol. But first, we stopped for A&W! Been like 10+ years since I last had these. Please come back to Singapore!


Spent a couple of hours here. There were about 7 levels of electronic gadgets and accessories. And here we splurged 1600B (SGD64) on a Beats by Dre wireless headphone. Each. Don't tell me it's fake; I know that. But even for a fake piece it's not cheap you know. How can people bring themselves to spend $400+ on a headphone?! Mad.

Went back for a short rest and headed out again to Chinatown. Took a cab from Platinum Mall. (I believe you can get the hotel concierge to get one for you. They don't charge extra.) Cab fare was less than 100B (SGD4) if I'm not wrong.

Came across this Lin Zhen Xiang store selling snacks and tidbits, and we decided to get some stuff back for the colleagues. Got some pork floss, crackers, coconut chips etc. I think we spent over 1100B (SGD44) and they had it sent to our hotel the next morning.

We were feeling quite full (from I don't know what), so our main goal was just the shark's fin and bird nest. That 50B (SGD2) shark's fin soup is fake, so don't bother with it. Lol. Came across this bird nest shop and got ourselves a bowl of 200B (SGD8) bird nest each. Apparently you also have to add the egg, ginko nuts and some honey to it. I......wouldn't say it's worth it. I'd rather go for the seafood anytime. Pity we didn't get to try any. =(


Tried some other street food like fried spring rolls and fried dough fritters, which came with a kaya dip. We tried to ask what it was, cos I heard sweet potato balls were a must-try. But sadly he didn't understand us.

Decided to make our way back and hopped on a cab, only to find out he wasn't going by meter. We were charged 200B (SGD8) for the journey back. To be honest, it's not expensive. But considering we paid less than half of that on the way there, we......weren't too pleased.

Dropped at Big C instead and walked the supermarket again. Had more time so we explored the other sections too. And I totally love the fresh food section. They have salmon sashimi! Super tempted to get some, but SSD said we had to 'preserve cash'. =( And the fresh meat section! Everything looked so fresh and yummy. (Sorry, I go crazy at meat sections nowadays due to Popo.)

My loots. I actually got the CHO.2 cap on Day 2 but forgot to include it in lol.

Bangkok day 2 - MBK Center, Siam & Platinum Fashion Mall (B)

Day 1 here if you haven't read it. =)

The next day, we headed nearby to the famous SabX2 wanton mee for breakfast. Got lost and asked around, before we found out it was closed that day! Quite sad but still, managed to get 2 bags and 2 pairs of shoes nearby. LOL!

Dropped off my loots in the room before heading to MBK Center. It was a 20-25 mins walk away. We reached slightly after 10am and the shops were slowly starting to open. Had breakfast at their foodcourt. You have to purchase this card at the counter and use it to buy the food. 


All for 280B (SGD11.20). I remember quite clearly because we had deposited 300B into the card and there was 20B left after buying the milk tea. And we forgot to return the card lol. Food was quite normal. Except for the oyster omelet; too starchy for my liking.

Then we began shopping! The top levels were more of clothes and souvenirs, whereas the lower levels were more of electronic stuff and bags. Quite a boring place I must say. =X

'Lunch' was at Dunkin' Donuts. I am officially a fan of Iced Americano now. ^_^ And dabao-ed a pack of papaya salad, where we had it in one of the Siam shopping centres.


On our way back, we passed through the various Siam shopping centres, like Siam Paragon, Siam Centre and Siam Discovery Centre. Don't know which was which too. It was mainly branded stuff which were more expensive, so we actually just passed through it.

Went over to finish up Platinum Fashion Mall Building B. I think this is slightly smaller than Building A, but I felt it was more interesting. It was mainly shoes and bags. Side note: it is always very difficult for me to buy shoes because I have big feet. But in Bangkok, it seems so easy. A lot of places not only have my shoe size (41 or 42) but also go way up to 46. It sure feels good to be able to buy shoes according to the design I like rather than which designs have my size.

Anyway, we finished up shopping pretty fast and I went back for a short nap while SSD headed over for his clothes fitting. Didn't help that I had a headache and had to take painkillers for it. =(

Dinner was at the nearby roadside stalls. It was always crowded so we went early about 6+. I think this stretch of stalls is famous for their salt-grilled fish, which could be seen on almost every table. We chose the last stall, the one nearest to Central World. It wasn't expensive too; only 180B (SGD7.20) for such a huge fish. Ordered some extra sides (too much actually) which were all pretty good! The mixed veggies were a little weird but still not that bad. And the tom yum soup had lots of ingredients.


Total bill came up to 980B (SGD39.20). Not very expensive right?

My loots. I suppose it's really very very little, considering we had MBK and Platinum Mall. SSD bought even lesser stuff lmao.

Bangkok day 1 - Arrival, Alex's Fashion, Platinum Fashion Mall (A) & Big C

Yo. I'm back. From my much-needed Bangkok trip. It has been (and still is) such a stressful period at work and I was really glad to go away and not think about it. At least for a few days. Anyway.

I hate flying. I mean, I love traveling, but I absolutely HATE flying. Especially takeoffs, landings, and turbulence. Thankfully it was just a 2.5 hour flight. I may just have to pop sleeping pills if ever I have a long flight. =\

So, we arrived on Thai AirAsia around mid-noon at Don Mueang Airport. I had wanted Suvarnabhumi since it was connected by trains. But DM turned out to be quite convenient cos the cab fare to our hotel was less than 250B (SGD10). For a close to an hour journey. Almost fell asleep though lol. Also got a 'Happy Tourist' SIM card at the airport, with 7-days unlimited data, for 290B (SGD11.50). Speed was a little slow at times.

We decided to book Novotel Platinum, since it was conveniently connected to Platinum Fashion Mall. Booked both the air tickets and hotel through Expedia for about SGD900. Not cheap, but it was our cheapest option as we wanted to stay at Novotel. No regrets though. Not sure about SSD but I super liked the room! We got the corner room. It was nice and clean, just big enough for both of us, and have separate pooping and shower stalls. I also liked that we could leave the curtains open as we weren't facing any other rooms. Staff were wonderfully helpful too. Only sad part was we didn't have any hotel breakfast buffet. =(


For the benefit of those (like us) who isn't familiar with this hotel, I did a simple map below.


Upon alighting at the taxi stand (it was raining btw), we walked all the way towards the left, asking at the information counters at both buildings. We were told to look for a Starbucks right at the end. It was connected to the Novotel lift lobby, where we took the lift to the 6th floor, where the hotel lobby is. After check-in, there were another set of lifts to get to the rooms.

After a short rest, we headed out to Amari Watergate Hotel just opposite. SSD wanted to get some tailor-made work clothes. At first we went to Paul's Fashion; apparently it was the more famous one. But the prices seem a little expensive (1000B for a shirt) so we headed opposite to Alex's Fashion. They have packages for Singaporeans (seems like this is more popular), and after much consideration, SSD decided to get the SGD196 package of 4 shirts and a pant. After adding 100B ($4) each for the special shirt cuff, we realized it was only slightly cheaper than Paul's. Lol.

Then we headed back to Platinum Mall Building A (I think). For super late lunch! At Fuji Japanese Restaurant. Lol I know I know, why jap food again right? But I heard it was cheap and good, so... =X


All for about 900B (SGD36) I think. Barely managed to finish everything lol. And it WAS good.

And then we started to shop! Building A was mainly clothes. I know many people could spend the whole day here and come out with bags and bags of stuff. But 95% of the clothes weren't my type at all. And definitely not as cheap as what many people claim. >_< There were quite a lot of guy stuff but SSD wasn't looking to buy anything either. So we finished the 6-storey building in a few hours with only a few bags. It was around closing time too so we kinda sped up.

Went back to drop off the stuff (see the convenience?) and headed back out again. I think we browsed the night bazaar diagonally opposite the hotel first, before dropping by Big C supermarket nearby.


Our supper! We bought 7 cups of noodles and some chips and actually managed to finish them in the 5 days! Love the green curry. ^^


And our loots! First from Platinum and then from the night bazaar. Am I the only girl who can leave Platinum with only 4 pieces of clothes? =P

Hong Kong Day 5 - Golden Computer, Australian Dairy Co. & home sweet home

Sorry for the hiatus. Almost forgot I haven't blogged the last day yet. =X

And so, day 5 starts with breakfast! Back at the nearby cha chan teng for macaroni. I really miss breakfasts like this. *sad*


After that we rushed off the the nearest Koi Kei to get some souvenirs. Like I said, please get them in Macau if you go there. They are MUCH CHEAPER there! Left with 2 huge bags of goodies which set us back by HKD 761. That's a freaking $125! I didn't buy a lot since they were so expensive and we just realized they have a branch in Chinatown here. -_-

Rushed back to hotel to pack since we had to checkout by 12pm. Left our stuff at the reception and off we went again. Took the MTR to Sham Shui Po Station and within walking distance is SSD's paradise - Golden Computer Arcade. 

It's like our Sim Lim Square, with 2 levels of electronic shops. We went up and down quite a lot of times, finding stuff and comparing prices. And I was pretty surprised at the how cheap some a lot of the items were. Probably even cheaper than the pasar malams outside. But I guess most of them come from China, so I was pretty skeptical of their quality. Ironically, I still bought more stuff than SSD here. LOL.

When SSD was finally done, we made our way to the famous Australian Dairy Company, a 5-minute walk from Jordan Station. There was a short queue, but I guess table for 2 was easier to get so we only had to wait for a little while. 

Ordered a tea-time set to share and 2 steamed eggs. I still prefer the steamed egg white with milk (white bowl) over the steamed egg with almond (yellow bowl). Much nicer. And unfortunately, goondu me forgot about their scrambled eggs, which are supposedly labeled as 'legendary'. So we got normal fried eggs. T_T


Personally, as much as I like their egg puddings, I really didn't like the noisy, cramped and fast-paced environment. And definitely not the table-sharing. How to eat in peace?! :(

Oh wells. It was back to the hotel to collect our staff and head to the airport. Took the free airport shuttle and express again.

Last meal in Hong Kong.


And home sweet home. Sad for the holiday to end but happy to see my girl again. 

So, where to next? :P

Hong Kong Day 4 - Tim Ho Wan, Avenue of Stars, & shopping!

Today is Tim Ho Wan day! Was soooo looking forward! We went to the one at IFC mall since it was nearer where we wanted to go today. Reached about 10+ in the morning, and there was a short queue already. Luckily we only had to wait for about 5-10 minutes. 

We ordered so much stuff! Didn't try the chicken feet so no comment, but the rest were nice! Especially the carrot cake and prawn siew mai and glutinous rice! As for the cheong fun, I still preferred the crispy one from 点点心.


Total bill came up to HKD 207, quite cheap for a Michelin star restaurant! ^^

Cancelled our plans for Lamma Island cos the winds were terrible outside. So we went shopping! Decided on Temple Street cos we read there were electronic stuff. It wasn't open yet unfortunately, so we walked (yes walked) to Langham Place. Took us about 20 minutes?

Langham Place is right beside Mongkok MTR, and is supposedly a 15-storey shopping mall with more than 200 shops. I didn't find it particularly interesting though.


Can't really remember which one came first, but I think we went to this shopping mall in the area that sold electronic stuff. Wasn't very interesting haha. Also managed to find some random pasar malam to shop. Then had late lunch - 车仔面, something like yong tou foo here. And SSD's curry fishballs and sharks' fin. HKD 67 just for these. T_T


I think we went to the Avenue of Stars next. It's within walking distance from Tsim Sha Tsui Station. It was absolutely a nightmare to be there. The winds were SO strong and SO cold. I did manage to get a long skirt to cover up but it wasn't of much use here. 


In the end I hid behind pillars while SSD braved the winds and took pictures. We didn't explore the whole area either. And no, definitely not staying for Symphony of Lights. =(

Last but not least - SSD's Temple Street. It's just like Ladies' Market, except that there were more electronic stuff there.


I think we walked up and down the street a couple of times, and SSD finally decided we could have dinner. Lol. I read that Temple Street is also supposedly famous for the many 大牌挡, but we didn't know which one to go to. Came across this lok kok but super crowded one. Authentic enough le gua? We also copied how the locals used the tea to wash the bowls. So TVB!


I think it was around HKD 160+? Prices weren't cheap but we both got a shock when the dishes arrived. Portion was huge! And very yummy too! Love love love the eggs. Lol. Dabao-ed some back for supper. =X

Loots for the day!

Hong Kong Day 3 - Macau

Rise and shine! This time, we had breakfast at a nearby cha chan teng. Their breakfast sets cost HKD 30 each and comes with a bowl of noodles, bread, and drink. Sounds a little expensive for just maggi mee. But I super enjoyed my macaroni (even though there's ham). I seriously wouldn't mind having this every day lol. 


Then we headed into Macau! Took to MTR to Tsim Sha Tsui Station and the China Ferry Terminal was about 10-15 mins away. We planned to take TurboJet but unfortunately tickets were sold out and the next one was quite a long wait. So we had to get them from another agency, which charged slightly higher. Lesson learnt - book earlier. =X

The 1-hour ferry ride was a little more bearable cos I managed to fall asleep. And woke up to Macau's slight drizzle and freezing winds. Sobs.

After passing through immigrations (Macau is another country so don't forget your passport), we took a free shuttle bus out. Most of the casinos offer free transport. Just cross the road (via underpass) and there you go, bus interchange!

On the way to Venetian.


I suppose it's a grandest hotel in Macau? To be honest I don't find it breathtaking, but I just brought SSD here to 见识见识. At least now he can say he has seen the fake skies at Venetian lol.


Our next destination was the Macau Tower. We planned to take the bus there, but couldn't find the damn bus stop. So we took a cab. Fare was quite reasonable I suppose; not exactly cheap but not exorbitantly high either.


Too tall to take in one shot so have to split into two. Main purpose of coming here was just because of Running Man. LMAO! It's supposedly the tallest bungee jump in the world. Song Ji Hyo is so brave! =|

The building next to it is actually a convention hall. Nothing much to see there. Oh yeah there's a Toys R Us there. Luckily for us, the bus stop is right outside. And fares are quite cheap; less than HKD 4! However, make sure you know the name of the bus stop you're supposed to alight at, and check the bus number from the bus stop. The drivers don't seem to know. =X 

Old streets of Macau! And a Portuguese egg tart from a random shop. Cos we were hungry and cold. HKD 10, not too bad. 


Next destination - A-Ma Temple.


We came just because it's a tourist attraction haha. Didn't explore much cos we didn't have much time. Near the entrance there was this tree with windchimes around it. If you can't see, it states 百年夫妻树, loosely translated as Hundred-Year-Old Husband & Wife tree. LOL. We hung one up too. =)


Took the bus again to our next destination - Senado Square. Along the way, we came across this tiny stall and had lunch there. Not too bad. Bill came up to around HKD 60. I really miss the cheap and good food in Taiwan!


We realized there were street signs for places of interest, so it wasn't very hard to navigate our way around. Was more interested in the shops around the square than the fountain.


Pork buns are supposedly famous in Macau as well. We got one from a random stall. Tasted quite normal. Sorry I don't know where is the famous one.


St. Dominic's Church. :)


Followed the street signs and we finally reached the place where I wanted to go - Ruins of St. Paul's. I think it's something like the icon of Macau; haven't been here = haven't been to Macau.


View from the top.


Then walked to the nearby Macau Museum! Mainly because I was frozen. Entrance fee is HKD 15 each I think. It was pretty empty inside, and just as cold as out. Sad.


On our way back to the ferry terminal, we spent some time at Koi Kei, probably Macau's most famous bakery. I had thought the stuff would be "fresher" if we bought them on the last day instead. I learnt my lesson. PLEASE BUY THEM AT MACAU!! It's much cheaper there. =X

Ferry back was extremely choppy due to the strong winds. Cancelled our plans for Symphony of Lights again. I think we just bought instant noodles and chips back for dinner. 

Oh and picked up the strawberry bed I ordered from Megapet. ^^ Only loot for the day.

Hong Kong Day 2 - Ocean Park

The next day, we went to Ocean Park! My second time there. I preferred this over Disneyland, and it was cheaper too! But first, breakfast! Wandered around Mong Kok area before stumbling upon this random shop - something 魚蛋王. It's a chain store I think. The wanton mee looks simple but tasted quite nice, and very welcoming in the cold.


To get to Ocean Park, we took the MTR to Admiralty Station before transferring to Citybus 629, which took us directly to the entrance. Directions are fairly easy to find and follow.


Tickets are HKD 320 each, but we got 10% when we presented the Madame Tussauds ticket stubs from the day before. :) Ocean Park is located uphill, and near the sea. So IT WAS FREEZING COLD! Which resulted in us spending most of our time in the exhibitions. We also arrived close to noon, so we didn't have much time to explore every bit of it. In fact, we only played one ride. T_T

Spent close to an hour (I think) in the very first exhibition. Got a fwuffy hammerhead shark toy cos it was just too cute to resist. Wasn't very expensive either. =X


Then pandas! Too bad the red pandas weren't there. I actually prefer those over the normal B&W ones.


Sat in this short birdy performance.


Grabbed some hot finger food at the old streets. Those shophouses are actually game stalls. Which reminded me, we spent HKD 90 for one try of shooting hoops and got a chicken stuff toy. Expensive much.


Random exhibits.


We also went up the tower.


Probably the most famous performance in Ocean Park. We sat in the last one at 5pm.


Rushed to take the cable car back after that, as it closes at 6pm. It was only the 2 of us in the car, and the winds were so strong, the car started swaying. I wailed all the way. =|

We were supposed to go to Avenue of Stars and watch the Symphony of Lights, but we were frozen. Definitely cannot tahan the strong winds and low temperature. So we went for dinner. Lol. Chanced upon this dimsum store - 点点心. They have 3 outlets and we went to the Mong Kok one. Apparently they're one of the 101 best places to eat in the world in 2012. *shrugs*


But it was nice! Especially the crispy chee cheong fun and salted-egg 流沙包. So cute too! Bill came up to HKD 170. Quite reasonable no?

Then dropped by Megapet on the way back. So nice that we have one just a few streets away. It's a mega pet chain store recommended by a fellow Hong Kong papillon owner. They have outlets in Taiwan too, but since my MIL was around I didn't want to take the trouble to visit it back then.


AND THEY HAVE DEAR DEER TREATS! Lol. Okay sidetrack a bit. I first came to hear of Dear Deer from the pet expo. I bought a few trial packs of the treats. Came home, saw that people were asking about it on Facebook. Seems quite good, so I regretted not buying more at the expo. 

Now I'm regretting not buying more in Hong Kong! Both the dear jerky and heart are selling at PLC for SGD 18 each. I got mine for HKD 67, which is about SGD 11. ALMOST HALF PRICE OMG! I want to kill myself liao. =(

You see! I bought 2 packs only. *slaps self*
