GENTING


A fusion of everything. Show was not very impressive though... A 2hour show... Ed's sis fell asleep...

Posing at Genting.... We waited 4 hours to check in. Omg... That's really very long..

My favourite ride at the Theme park

FOODS DELIGHT

Prawn noodle at KL. I did not added an chilli... It is spicy itself... RM 4/ bowl

Kenny Rogers... Cheap but the ones in Singapore is definitely much nicer... RM 16.9/plate

The most decent food at the Buffet Breakfast at First World Cafe...

Kaya Toast at Old Town Coffee... Not nice.. BRead was too dry and crispy for my liking. RM 6.9

Yummy fried rice at Shanghai Tian.... RM 16/ plate

Shanghai Xiao Long Bao... RM9.

MY favourite chee cheong fun at one hawker center at Genting. IT is located opposite the main entrance of the Outdoor theme park. RM 6.5/ plate. Value for money and nice. My dad brought me to eat the other time round.

Fried Fuzhou noodle at Yong Peng... RM 17/ big plate.

Yummy malay Briyani rice. RM 4/plate... Ate this for lunch along the highway...

Baskin Robbin ice-cream. RM 18/ sundae.

Bangkok Trip 23 - 27 August 2008

D1: Changi Airport. 6am flight.. Reached BKK at 810am. Checked into hotel and set off to Platinum Mall

Our bed... Changed a total of 3 rooms during our 4 night stay.. Long story.. But generally the hotel The Residence Rajtaevee is quite good and cheap. Cost $20/ person/ night. Thanks to Fan's reco.

Lunch at A&W. Ate a waffle chicken ... A bit interesting but very hard to hold as the waffle turns soggy after a while...

Yummy food.. The one in orange is tom yum flavour while the one in yellow is sweet.. Nice. Cost about S$0.50 for each.


Me and my purchase for the day.. Happy...


This is our transport to get from The Residence Rajtaevee to Siam Paragon...


Dinner at Coca Resturant. cost about THB250 for an hour buffet... However still prefer the one in Singapore... More variety.. though much more expensive.

D1 Purchases

D2: Chatuchak, MBK and Massage

Fan and Qi at the roadside stall...

Lunch at one of the road stalls... very nice though and cheap. Cost only THB30 (= S$1.5) though serving portion is a bit small...

yummy... Bought it at the train station...

Xian managed to master the art of changing!!! And Qi is so happy with it...

Their purchases for the Day at Chatuchak... Small bags....

Matching big bags... Notice our bags are much bigger than the above. Chatuchak is good for shopping guy tee shirts. Bought 3 for ED... Opened only on weekends...

Health land Spa at Ekamai station. About 20 mins walk from the station. But it is very good and cheap. Did a 60min foot massage at THB 250 (=S$11).. pity it is a bit far from us and the station. Anyway thanks Jaxine for the recommendation.

Dinner at Bar B Q Place at MBK top floor.. Not bad...Fan's favourite...

D2 Purchases

D3: Palace, Siam Paragon and Platinum Mall

On board the ferry to see the Palace... Cost THB 300 for unlimited rides on the ferry.

Palace...

Love this building. European style buildings with Thai Roof tops.. lovely.

Snacking at Siam Paragon..

Some glutinous rice ball wrapped in lettuce with shallot and green chilli. Interesting but not very nice.

Tom yam soup for dinner at the food court 6th floor of Platinum. not bad.. Though I still love the one at Thai Express.

Xian and Qi... Compare their bags with the ones below...

Yeah, fan and I won! As usual, the two of us got the biggest bag... Notice that we shopped until platinum mall closes?? Hehe.. Anyway it closes quite early at about 8pm.

Dessert at Swensen... Relatively cheaper than Singapore. About S$5 for an ice cream.

D3 Purchases

Chips to tide us through the night.

Our night activities in the room... Do not stay in room 302.. The aircon is not working. Poor Fan and Qi has to brace the hot air. Luckily Xian and I slept in 304.. Still not so bad though the aircon not very fantastic.. However the LCD screen tv compensate for the shortfall.

Love this.. The cheaper alternative to Erdinger beer... Cost only S$1. Prefer this to the Light version.


D4: Shopping and massage

Pratunam Center, Big C, and the shopping center opposite Platinum Mall (Quite a nice place to shop also. Sells cheap denim stuff)

A typical breakfast... Buffet breakfast is included in our hotel package.

Lunch at Fuji Restaurant... Decent price... $10 for a bento set. All of us cant finish our food.. but still we are happy with our food.

Xian and Fan at the restaurant...

Me and Qi

D4 Dinner at The Pizza Company.. Taste not bad.. though the filling is a bit little.

After dinner, Qi and I went for a thai massage at our hotel. 90 mins for THB 600. Not too bad..

D4 Purchases

Party at night... The cocktails only cost S$2 while the beer cost about S$1. Played card games till 4am in the morning.. Tired but fun...

Last Day 28 Aug

Shopping at Platinum Mall... Our favourite shopping place. We have been there 4 out of our 5 days in Bkk.

All our luggages... Incredible...

Booked a limousine cab at THB800 (= S$40) to drive us back to the airport..
