Re: Today's slice of big mango?

authentic Japanese food should go to Thaniya just next to the infamous Patpong. tucked at a corner (literally) of Thaniya known as Nabeserina.

Nice, mouth watering sashimi and kobe beef. Been 3X to 1 jap restaurant at Soi Thaniya, across 1 (forget liao)building in basement. Sit down on tatami cubicles (privacy). But your menu win hands down. Will make mental note of Nabeserina next time.

Re: Today's slice of big mango?

Could not find my Hong Sip thread so post here. Felt much better today. Thanks to all the advice and pm. Be very frank, deep inside, I also scared like hell. If everyday pain like this, really no meaning.

Stop using the misting function of the fan, not sure if this is the cause. Also stop drinking beer since last night. Heard from old folks that cannot take 'cold' stuff. I don't really know what is meant by cold but beer is one of them.

want to find your thread, just click on your own nick/profile, and then click on "find latest started threads".

one old wife's tale is that if you are sleeping with the fan blowing at you, don't let it blow directly and use a blanket or comforter. dunno whether chun or not..........

Re: Today's slice of big mango?

Just had a fight with small one so quite moody today. Human jealousy most dangerous thing in the world. Anyway, love both big one and small one lah.

Re: Today's slice of big mango?

Better go and have my dinner liaoz. Now knees feeling much better liaoz so go out to relax a little bit.

Re: Today's slice of big mango?

OK, some updates on hong sip. Think it's gone liaoz after 2 days of faithful medication. Anyone know if Hong Sip can go swimming? Also understand now suppose to eat too much 'cooling' stuff but not sure how to classify the food. For example, crab is consider cold and so is beer. Guiness stout is consider 'hot'. Never pay to much attention on this thing.

its not gone, it'll never go away. Just because you don't feel pain doesn't mean it isn't there. Your pain killers are working alright that's all. Two days? No it'll takeover than that only with a lifestyle change. But you and I, we're too old to change unless something really hard knocks on our head that could frighten us. My recent numbness on my right arm had caused me great fear of a stroke. This is no joke cos family history. I stopped drinking, slept early, no more fatty food. Finally MRI revealed that its a spine problem on my neck and through simple physio exercises it will get back to normal, same night celebrate and got drunk and life's back to old habits again. Sad but true, we're too old to simply change. Anyway I'm glad this is a great morning. Took this photo at 6am. Now on my way to Sukarno airport back to Singapore for one day. Should go eat the the vege beehoon tomorrow before returning to Bangkok. Take care Pii Chon.

No Korean will sleep with the fan directly blowing on them. Learned this from a Korean chabor.

Welcome back bro. Any chance to catch a few drinks?

 

[chonburifc]

Yes, weather here is quite jialat. Rain and light floodings in some areas. Also suspect the unusual high volume of rain is causing my hong sip.

First sharing this. Discovered a Japanese Curry chain (no idea why not seen this before) was told by staff here it's in most major malls and around for 4 years. Anyway it's still not too late. Out with my staff today visiting customers I told he I'd bring her to Thaniya for authentic curry instead she asked me to go to a mall for this. It's called Cocoichibanya. Here you go:

Hamburger Curry Rice (170 baht)

Fried Chicken Omelet Curry Rice (170 baht)

See rice inside egg wrap?

Side order Tongkatsu (50 baht for pork ; 45 baht for 100g curry)

Food is pretty authentic as those found in Japan I must say except for the quality of the rice which I believe is still Japanese rice but not imported but rather grown locally.

Here's the shop located in Fashion Island Mall near my home.

 

[chonburifc]

There is one outlet at central. You can also choose the power of your curry. Recommend to go for maximum power.
