Seacon Bangkae mall now has a new food street section (grand opening yesterday). Interesting variety including msia bak kut teh, roti prata, hk style noodles. Good system of electronic card you pay on checkout (instead of coupons). Now the mall has 3 levels of food sections -basement + mid level food courts and this new one.

Bkt and HK noodles

Solo barista with filtered special coffee. Showed me how to ‘fart’ coffee (exit gas) in filter, exacting boiling water temp and to circle same (flavour). He spoke decent English and just back from some Sg coffee contest.

There are not many of these traditional coffee stall left in Bangkok, its nice to once in a while bump into one. Found this is a wet market

Guests sitting around the stall drinking coffee, chatting and watching TV

Traditional way of making coffee

For hot black coffee they serve with a glass of thin chinese tea as the black coffee is rather strong

Ordered 2 eggs half boiled

Easy to drink it down

Easy breakfast costs only 35 baht or $1.50

Life of a travelling screw salesman in Thailand, after two and a half days of work its time to leave for home

Got to top up for the 143km journey home. Gasoline is getting more expansive, 27.09 baht per litre for diesel or S$1.15

Cook my own dinner, traditional rice noodle with sliced pork and a hard boiled egg

Bon Appétit

I am very lucky to be living in Bangkok where one could find great international food here and most of the time cheaper than in the original country. For a person who travel much I am quite particular with food quality and coming from Singapore I know how ridiculous "good food" can cost. Bangkok has a large Japanese community living here as there are many Japanese factories and businesses located here as such Japanese food here is in the level same as in Japan, so say the Japanese professionals I encountered here who swear by it and often claimed Bangkok to have the best compared to the other cities around this region. Best as in the freshness, quality of cooking and prices.

If one likes fresh sashimi I highly recommend Sushi Tsukiji in Thaniya. Fresh seafood is airflow in twice a week directly from Japan.

Starters, tofu with minced pork

Fermented squid with Thai herbs

Grilled ginkgo

Grilled chili, we had 3 servings of this
