No chilli I die.
10 baht. Actually have more than this as I already makan a few since last night.

Correct way to store chilli is removed the stalks first. Put kitchen paper towel on bottom and top of container. Change the paper towel every 3-4 days. Can stay very fresh up to three weeks but usually finish in about a week.

DIY Fish porridge. Khao Tom Pla ข้าวต้มปลา


Very very expensive if cook for one. P’Froggy is right, if one person, go eat outside better.

Broth ingredient: dry squid and anchovies (kang her) and flat fish ( pla lin ma)
Fish: Batang
and miscellaneous like spring onion and pak chi (coliander). Outside one bowl 50 baht. Mine over 300 baht. Fish alone 200 baht. But still have lot of Batang fish left so freeze up for makan later. Batang fish also not easy to slice thin thin. Will try cheaper fish like pla grapong (sea bass)next time.

Siam Lor mata lockup machiam holiday camp. Can smoke, can order outside food but must pay for it.

Gang fight is the norm for almost all Thai concert. Incident took place at Lampang last night at “Pu Pongsit” concert. Pu Pongsit belongs to the genre “Look Tong Puea Chi Wit” aka country style rock, the same type as Marijuana.

A culinary experience of a lifetime high above the city skyline, "Dinner in the Sky Thailand" officially took off on Friday for the first time ever.

Operated in 45 countries, this global phenomenon featured the high-altitude dinner table at the height of 50 meters where 22 guests were seated securely per round and enjoyed a four-course gourmet with astonishing view, which is lifted and suspended for an hour long by a 200-tone European telescopic boom crane. Dinner in The Sky is located between The Emporium Shopping Complex and Benchasiri Park and will run until the end of February.

DIY lunch. Roast duck, pork and char siew buy from MK. The rest all from the fridge. Duck gravy from Mae Sriruen. i asked for extra duck gravy everytime I order duck rice from Mae SriRuen cos the gravy is really good. Many duck rice/noodle gravy either too thick or too watery.

My tour guide fren non bias feedback on Nam Seng Restaurant is “Por Gin Dai” which means “average”, can eat but dont have too high expectations.

As a tour guide, the bulk of his income comes from commisson. Usually places that give commission to him, he will say aroi, even if not aroi. Places that dont give him commission, even aroi, he also say not aroi.

And places he go to makan when not leading tours are all aroi. All the 3 chinese restaurant on sai 2 (pattaya south to pattaya klang) not in his list.

 

[Froggy]

Breakfast for two

 

[Froggy]

Be prepared for longer queue at Suvarnabhumbi airport

Security check waiting time about 15mins

Immigration about 20mins

Most Thai restaurants allowed customer to bring their own alcoholic beverages without extra charges, or maybe a token fee. Only need to pay for the mixer and ice. I give tip for the server who serves the drinks, on top of the tip for the other staff.

555, My 350 baht Hong Thong whisky. Getting to like this whisky. No more 100 pipers liaoz.

Nam Seng not commission shop.

Yes, ate a few times at Oishi Avenue 6-7 years ago when it first open. Was impressive in the beginning but stop going as have much better choice.

Recently about 2 months ago, a sbf kaki just visited Oishi@Avenue and told me standard drop until no point going and he is regular visitor to Oishi@avenue.
