Phak kachet fai daeng


Pu mah - boiled flower crab


Grilled cockles


Khao pad khanna pla khaem (fried rice with kailan and salted fish)


Pla kapong manao (lime seabass)


This is something I forgot to ask the name - raw crab yes it eaten raw with roe and Thai herb and spices and fish sauce and lime


Close up see how fresh the roe is?

Was at an old shop yesterday for lunch, braised duck and other tze char



See, even the wiring in the coffee shop also so old, I remembered old HDB flats have same type of wiring



the reason being there, braised duck, it's so soft and quite juicy in the meat one of the best I've rated even compare to Singapore's



Pig's stomach with giamchye lookd good ya? Too bad for me I only eat the salted vege, really shiok.



We will call this mua yew kway or sesame chicken, great dish wokhei very strong

Sometimes staff in TG can throw you a surprise. Like today, asked for Mama, Thai instant noodle, this is what they gave, Mama with braised pork, very delicious

Enroute back to Bkk, a nice small cafe restaurant in gas station stop in Samut Songkram. Local simple dish with small fish (can be eaten whole) and some coconut shoot dish.



Very halal dish from Lanna fair

You don't get this pig blood anymore Sg. My last hurrah before planet earth yesterday



Can't help order this, with yum seeds. For only thb80, full mango. Or less than s$3.40

 

[yinyang]

Rate this Bangrie coffee best, enroute to airport. 3 strengths, northern traditional arabica beans. Used to be at all Jiffy gas stations, until PTT took over. Now they have this awful Amazon chain.

Can only handle the medium strength (Klang). Full flavour

Gasoline prices at Shell



Diesel, Diesel V-Power, Gasohol E20 (20% ethanol), Gasohol 91 and Gasohol 95 V-Power. Just divide by 24 you get the S$ value. So it's $1.30 per liter for the 95 that I fill.

Breakfast, boiled rice with minced pork egg

Lunch at a chicken noodle store





Only 35 baht $1.50 so much
