An idle mind is the Devil's workshop so the PAP is going the right thing in keeping the number of holidays low.

This also proves that the PAP is the best!
Haha...It's fine with me. I am soon to be retired and going into consultancy. Public holidays in Singapore means nothing to me now... PAP should shorten the number of holidays to 5. That's would make them even betterest, if not the bestest :biggrin:

It’s very rare to find a real Hong Kong person opening a real wanton noodle shop in Bangkok

Just look at this soup - wanton with shrimp and pork garnished with Chinese yellow chives, cannot be more Hong Kong than this

Yellow noodle is just cooked to maintain its body feels QQ.

Roast meat in Thailand is mainly red colored meats and mostly not roasted but this restaurant is roasted HK style

Duck is also roasted to perfection and cuts are big compared to Thai roast duck thinly cut

Owner is a Hongkonger so no compromise.

This is what happen on Bangkok roads leading to New Year.
Every year after Christmas around 26th or 27th the tollways in Bangkok linking it to the upcountry will stop collecting toll fees this is to allow smooth movement of traffic as many people in Bangkok will leave the city to upcountry with home or for holidays. Will start collecting toll around 3rd of Jan.

So around 27th to 29th the highways leading vehicle away from Bangkok will experience traffic jam, come 30th all will be smooth.

Today is Monday, I drove along Ramintra Road and on Mondays at this time I drove (8am) it will be jam packed with vehicle but see here, smooth as silk

New Year and Songkrang are the best period to be in Bangkok, not just for good traffic but also for shopping and restaurants, not much queue.

Maid had gone home for holiday, I'm home alone in babysitting the 2 dogs, still have leftovers from Christmas, missing some home food, so what should I do?

Cook the leftovers

Went to Huaplachongnonsea, a restaurant near my home specialising in fish head steamboat tomyam.Food there is great but the name of the restaurant sucks.

This is one very rare restaurant where the tomyam soup has a very old style taste to it, taste that one can find only in upcountry home cook.


Prawns cooked in curry and eggs sauce

Traditional Thai fish cake. Why traditional? That's because there's bits of long beans (asparagus beans) in the fish paste which is rare these days.
