Woke up early again today to go to Pratunam market with the mom while the males stayed in the hotel!
Managed to get some pretty good deals, 3 bags handmade by the shopowner herself for 150 baht ALTOGETHER! (That's less than S$5)
I was carrying these bags happily down the streets and my mom pointed out that it looked like I had 2 butts!
Returned to the hotel for breakfast :)
Food o' glorious food!
Oh and some cake that we bought previously// tastes like pandan chiffon cake!!!
After breakfast we decided to walk to Central Mall again, and found that there was a mini market going on with many food stalls lines up along the streets! So we attacked >:)
Fried sweet potato balls// l
Some 'savoury mochi' as my mom termed these chewy balls of delight; and I honestly can't think of anything else to name them. These were filled with something sweet (which I couldn't identify, coconut? Prawn paste?) that contrasted nicely with the QQ nature of these balls. Thumbs up!! :)
CORN GLORIOUS CORN! We bought a completely red one to try; tasted really sweet compared to the one with just a few coloured corn. I LOVE THIS OMNNOM.
I'd been wanting to try the thai tea; so dad bought a cup to try. Omg this was so sweet without being unbearable,
PERFECT sugar rush. It was so good that we got another cup after this one.
And what's this?? Well we didn't know, so dad bought some to try.
Bliss
HOLYSMOKES. Anyone who's planning a trip to Bangkok should totally try this if they are able to. Served piping hot, these quail-egg sized balls had paper thin crispy skin; and when you pop them ((whole)) in your mouth it would just explode into pure joy and rainbows and unicorns and all things good in your mouth. //I think the filling is a rich creamy sweet coconut custard with bits of corn// we also had two boxes of this :X
Minute fingerling sweet potatoes!! //in purple and yellow// So much sweeter than those in Singapore :)
Haha I don't think dad meant to appear this picture hence the face! But we were wondering what was so special about meat skewers in Thailand that had almost every alternate street food stall selling them; so of course we had to try some! I have no idea what special marinade these people use but it was HEAVENLY especially with the tender meat. LOVE.
With happy full bellies, we decided to visit Madam Tussards, the world-famous wax museum located in Siam discovery centre nearby.
//plenty of photos were taken with many celebrities and famous figures in history but I shall be selective and showcase only a few heheh//
How often does one get to take a selfie with the princess of Wales? Diana is so pretty!
I think Lee Hsien Loong looks real happy to be taking a picture with me ;)
Who's the new queen??? :)
Oh it's nothin', I hang out with mr and mrs Obama every other day ya know
And I jam with Beyonce by night
Johnny Dep is mah man
Having an animated conversation with Oprah :)
And Jackie Chan's a family friend.
Had a lot of fun at the museum and it's so interesting to see famous people up close in actual proportion!! Definitely one of the highlights of this trip.
Delicious flavourful fresh beef stew. I loved the soup which was slightly sweet.
Today was supposed to be our 'authentic thai' day so phad thai is a must! Can you believe this was our first phad thai on this trip?! Though not the cheapest; this rendition was certainly satisfactory.
And Tom yum soup which was spammed with lemongrass.
After this we exited the mall for... MORE STREET FOOD! street food FOR THE WIN.
This bowl of refreshing grass jelly with ingredients like gingko, dates, nata de coco and lots of natural brown sugar was less than S$1!!! Gahhh why is thai street food so cheap and darn guuuuud.
Then the guys went back to the hotel //poor guys eh// while mom and I headed to platinum mall for more shopping. Pretty productive shopping, I might add- bought everything I needed :)
After we headed back to the hotel, we rested for a few hours. It rained quite heavily but that didn't deter us from getting our dinner in some way or another!
Found a seafood restaurant opposite our hotel which was a welcome shelter from the rain so we decide to try out.
Iced tea :)
Tom yam!!!
Salt-grilled fish// basically BBQ fish smeared all over with plenty of sea salt.// this fish was quite tender and huge yum!
Fried rice with chicken chunks! Meagrely portion for about S$3 -_-
Le spreadddd!
Quite expensive for the little we ordered ):
Headed back to the hotel and went to the gym again with the family!!! :)
Check out the hotel gym- nice right?! With windows that overlook the busy street so one can watch people shop while working out haha
#missmuscle
Ok that's all heheh byeees! Quite sad that tomorrow is the last day and well have to leave this place and get back to reality ):
