I hate bkks yarowat aka china town. Super crowded than the rest of bkk and it's still so old. If the thai govt was like sinkie govt the Chinatown of bkk would have been torn down and everything would be new

It's called man-geaw

 

[Froggy]

If angrit, turnip. If thai, kindly ask your #1.:p

joetys, popiah covered in some sauce ..savoury or sweet?

Pohpiah in Thai is also pohpiah but its different other than the skin. First if all there is no man-geaw or our hot bang-guang. Instead it's bean sprouts, two long strips of different lupcheong, a long strip of cucumber that's about it, there's no sweet sauce nor chili sauce inside nothing at all. Then it's the slightly sweet sauce hot from the pot over the whole thing. Oh and eggs sprinkled over the sauce.

Yaowarat (Chinatown) is very crowded every day because there are many Chinese businesses still operating from there. At this time of the year close to Chinese New Year its is even more crowded and very difficult to look for a carpark. Took me 45 mins and 2 unsuccessful attempts to look for a carpark with space. Anyway here's the result of my shopping today

Got more in the house and rooms but cannot show too much la

Oh forgot to say, 500 x 4 boxes of firecrackers, kekekekeke

Joe the decoration looks rather old fashioned. The thing about yarowat is that it looks like it has not changed at all no upgrading since the 50s, 60s etc.
