Yup as usual I had typed out a long luvly blogpost just to have blogger wipe it off the face of this earth after I forgot to save it on my phone. Well shit happens :)
Anyway just a brief post about day 4//aka last day in Bangkok ):
Waffles, pink noodle, stir-fried veggies with pork, sunny side up, cherry tomato
Woke up and waited for the folks to do some packing before heading down for the /last/ breakfast at the lovely glow hotel :'(
The pink noodles tasted really yum! It had a slightly sweet aftertaste that paired well with the more salty veggies. The food at glow hotel is commendable, although there isn't too huge a spread, but the food that they DO offer are wonderful and the awesome service by the staff doesn't hurt either :)
Pork porridge
Loved the condiments on this one! It has and distinct flavour that is unique to the thai cuisine and the porridge is oh-so-smooth and creamy!
And the usual mixed fruit platter. Thai fruits are really too good to pass.
Following that we rested at the hotel till about 12+pm when we were graciously chased out of the hotel room as it was the checking out time!
Last shot of Bangkok from the hotel room
We left our luggages at the hotel lobby before heading out for lunch! We decided to have street food as our final lunch here; at the place we went to the day before. Thankfully most of the stalls were still there!
Be not fooled by the appearance of this heavenly morsels of delight; these aren't fishballs, but tapioca balls sweetened by coconut and creamy corn bits.
We finally caved and got the fried chicken! And oh we were so glad we did. These tasted way better than anything KFC could offer, at a much cheaper price too! The chicken was so tender and juicy and the fried skin was flavourful and crispy. thumbs up!
We also bought many of the same food we got before //ie. thai tea, grilled coconut pancakes...// which I shall not elaborate on heheh.
Then we walked around the mall and made our way to the top floor, where there was Made in Candy store! Even though I've seen the candy making process a few times in Singapore, but I've never watched it from start to end as I did here! It was so fascinating to watch the two staff working in tandem with nary a word to one another.
One shaping the candy, the other pulling it.
One pulling,
One cutting
Both cutting at bullet speed!
We stayed there for a good half hour, before heading to platinum mall food court for lunch #2 ;)
Mango glutinous rice
Pad Thai!
And these cute little desserts //sweet mung bean paste encased in jelly//
Then we went back to the hotel, grabbed our luggages and headed to the airport!
As we had plenty of time to kill we decided to go to Black Canyon, a cafe there.
Mom wanted gelato but she chose a lime and wild berry sorbet instead! A happy mistake cos these were refreshing and really good :)
More pad thai cos this dish apparently won the best phad thai in Thailand award! Errr....the sauce tasted like ketchup so I don't really know how they managed to win! :/
After this we spent a long time leisurely walking to our gate (the airport is HUGE) and many funny things ensued, such as us stealing tons of free samples from the generous airport stores selling food haha
Plane food! Chicken noodles,warm crusty bread roll, some cold cut salad and glutinous rice in coconut milk as dessert.
I regret to say I ate it all haha even after all that eating today! Sigh really gotta learn some moderation ):
Anyway it has been a great trip with wonderful people! Really enjoyed myself and the short break from reality was very welcome indeed :)
