This post shall be the last installment of my
BKK 2016 trip.
As mentioned in the previous posts, I won't be writing much on places that I've been to before during my previous BKK trips so as to minimize repeat information.
Day 3 started with breakfast once again. Nothing much to say about it because the food selection were more or less the same as the previous day.
The buffet area
Fuel for the 2nd last day in BKK
We went to Big C straight after our breakfast to 'sweep' all the local yummy snacks back to Singapore. It's a have-to do thing for every BKK trip haha!
Bought this highly rated chio looking Matcha Espresso from the starbucks located just directly below our hotel. Saw way too many people trying back in Singapore. The starbucks price in BKK was not really any much cheaper as compare to in Singapore but slightly cheaper? :)
The taste of this blend suits my taste bud because it's not sweet at all and I can have my favorite matcha and coffee all in a cup.
Full length window call for a #OOTD shot
Enough said, I'm in love with Glow Pratunam Hotel :) Shall book that for my future stays! No more Baiyoke Sky lol.
All the loots from Big C for ourselves and our friends/colis.
Regret not buying more of the Matcha Pocky even though it can be easily found in Singapore too but definitely cheaper in BKK!
Since it's the last full day in BKK, time to roam the big
Platinum Mall for shopping (never really shopped there since we landed in BKK) and spend the rest of our money away lol.
We had lunch in the foodcourt located at the highest level of Platinum Mall. I remember years back Derp and I dined in there before but can't really remember we have anything nice except in the comfort of having our meals in a air conditioned area.
After doing some research online, there's actually 'not bad' food found in the food court so we decide to give it a try.
We were totally spoiled for choices because there were way too much stalls at the food court.
Probably after 15 minutes of walking around, decide on ordering the Tom Yum Noodles with Shrimp/Boiled Egg.
I had to admit we just order what's on the picture haha! It sort of looks like their signature dish so gave it a try then.
This is how it look like. Slightly different from the picture but the prawn is really very huge in real life haha.
However, I felt there's nothing nice about this noodles.The portion is really very small, especially the amount of noodles which can be easily finished within a few mouths. Quite pathetic eh given that the cost of this bowl of noodles is not cheap at all!
Ordered this fried oysters to share among us. Highly rated online too and indeed this is very yummy.
I've never tasted such crispy texture of egg before which is a major plus point for this dish :)
As usual, desserts is a must. Nothing new/special because we ordered the Mango Sticky Rice and Thai Milk Tea. It's yummy!
Btw, there's a few stalls selling mango sticky rice but we just anyhow choose simply because they all look the same. Same goes for the price. This food is hard to go wrong because till date I've not tasted a not-nice mango sticky rice lol.
It was more shopping at Platinum Mall after our lunch. Managed to grab some good deals for my friends who were asking me to look out for specific fashion items and I also managed to grab some good and value for money clothes hehe!
Back to the hotel to rest for an hour or so before we head out for dinner. This time round, we flagged a cab to go back to where we supposed to go on the 2nd day of the trip (We fall into a scam, you can read all about it
here) and we were lucky enough not to meet anymore scam taxi drivers.
So after the failed attempt to locate this place, we are finally here at Joke Perd Mho Paradise (โจ๊กเปิดหม้อ สาขาพาราไดซ์ ศรีนครินทร์). This was highly recommended by my brother-in-law who went to BKK just few months before our trip. It was so good that he had to go back to eat it again for this trip.
Yes this is a restaurant which sells claypot porridge! Hence you can easily spot many claypots around.
The restaurant allows you to customize what you would like to have in your porridge so it's all up to you to decide and the price will be calculated base on what you choose.
This is what Derp has ordered.
His porridge cost 204 Baht which is roughly SGD $8.
Look at the gigantic prawn! For SGD $8, it's pretty worth it.
This is my tom yum porridge. All my favorite in a bowl :) My porridge cost 115 Baht which works up to $5 SGD. Super worth it because there's lots of ingredients.
Here's me looking very happy with my porridge.
Look very gluey right and not very appealing. But don't get mistaken it, it taste very yummy and not expensive at all.
Do take note of the opening hours before heading down as it only opens in the evening time till late night.
JOKE PERD MHO PARADISE (โจ๊กเปิดหม้อ สาขาพาราไดซ์ ศรีนครินทร์)
Address: between Soi Srinagarindra 40 and Soi Srinagarindra 42 (opposite Paradise Park shopping mall), Srinagarindra road, Bangkok, Thailand
Opening Hours: 4pm to 12am daily
We took a cab back to
Central World for our desserts before we call it a day.
Yea to no queue at the BAKE branch at Central World.
Because it's the last night in BKK, we decide to pack them back to Singapore since it cost around 50 cents(per tart) cheaper in BKK haha!
This is actually my first time buying and trying BAKE haha! Because the queue for it in Singapore is way too long so I'm too lazy to buy it back then.
Hello SJK! :)
Spotted him while waiting for a seat in After You cafe for our desserts. Buay pai seh to take a photo with him haha! He's the ambassador for the dessert cafe though.
Mandatory dessert place since the last trip haha!
#welfie while waiting for our queue number to be called.
The interior of the cafe. I don't think it changed much since the last time I visit.
The menu.
I think the price of their items has went up slightly as compared to my previous visit.
Ordered this matcha toast to try. Everything matcha is yummy :)
After our desserts, it's time to head back to our hotel to rest and get ready to head back to Singapore the very next day.
Our last day in BKK flew past very fast in the blink of an eye.
Making full use of the natural day lights shining into the room to take the best ever #selfie. No filter needed at all!
Last breakfast in BKK! This is our only meal before heading to the airport.
Right after breakfast, Derp and I went for some last minute shopping at
Platinum Mall (since it's just opposite our hotel, super convenient!) before going back to the hotel to pack the remaining stuff and get ready to go to the airport.
All our luggage into a big cab!
Shot taken before we check in our luggage haha!
Can tell we did bought quite a number of stuff back to our homeland.
Last meal and #welfie in BKK before heading back.
Love their pizza the most because it taste really good but super sinful as it's too oily haha!
It has become our mandatory food before we board the plane (even though we will be served food once again on the plane haha!).
Had our dinner on plane. I ran out of shows to watch so I re-watched DOTS.
The dessert given to us was this cheesecake. Taste very yummy!
Witnessing the sunset on plane.
Goodbye Bangkok! It have been a great trip as usual! I hope to see you again soon in this year :)
