Thankful.

Yesterday I reformatted my phone to run away from this ↓ message,

but the message is still there.. T.T Anyone know how to solve this problem? The customer service ask me to delete all the apps and just use normal functions like calling and message.  What for I buy a smartphone, if I can't use the apps I am using now?! 

 

Anyway, back to the random story I want to tell you all...

The funniest thing is I forget to backup some stuff when I reformatted my phone, so I tried to retrieve them from my Samsung and Google account. And there are many photos that was taken last year but I have long forgotten about them. Suddenly memories begin to flow in especially when I see those photos I took when I had the major breakout which took many months to cure. I always said I wanted to post photos about the breakout and finally, here are the photos ↓.

 

All this photos are taken after I received treatment from both doctors and facial parlor. Look at the bottom left photo, I trying to take how POP-UP the pimples are. HAHAHA.

Now... my face is better. But the worries are still there. I don't know when I will have the sudden breakout again, so now I went to facial every once a month. When I was having acne problem, I went to see doctor every 2 weeks and facial parlor every other 2 weeks. Can you imagine the damage?! In case you are wondering who is my doctor and which facial parlor I went to, feel free to email me or dm me on instagram :)

Good day, Mate!

Hello all, reporting live from Melbourne!
I don't should I start with the good experience I had in Australia or the bad one. Hmmm..

Maybe I will have a detailed post soon, but my overall experience is that being Asian is not as good as you think it is when you are visiting there. Don't get me wrong. I really love the foods and things there, just that there are some black sheeps that make the bad experience a little more... memorable...

Detailed post about places we visited soon... after I finish typing the 5 drafts in my blog :)
 

BANGKOK! - STAY

Sawadee ka! Sa-baai-dee-mai ka?

Visited Bangkok with my friend,P in April and to be honest, I want to visit there again within this year before they remove all the street foods store from the street. The last time I went to Bangkok was 2015 with X and that time I fall in love so madly with the street food. Every turn I made, I can buy a lot of foods and snack along the way. But this trip, I was really surprised. There are still some stores along the streets but not as much as two years ago. Most of the street food are like organized now. They are mostly in front of the mall like those food fair in Singapore.

Anyway, back to the trip. I won't be sharing our itinerary because we just go wherever we feel like and most of the night, we spent at the food fair in front of CentralWorld! My love for Moo Ping (grilled pork on skewers) will never changeeeee~

Where we stay?

 

..... no. we didn't stay in castle.. 

We stayed in 2 hotels because one is nearer to the shopping area and other is nearer to the BTS not the korean group, it is their metro/subway/MRT. Also, I have a confession to make......

...I forget to take room photo... :X

  

So I will just talk more of their hotel locations and our feedback of the hotels

1) Budacco Hotel

This hotel is the one nearer to shopping area. It is deep inside the alley ↓, but located just next to the Pratunam Market. It is only a stone's throw from Platinum Fashion Mall and the night market called Talad Neon and with the new bridge linking Platinum Fashion Mall and almost all the mall around Siam, it is really convenient. This hotel is highly recommended for shopaholics.

But if you intend to explore around using public transport, you need to walk about 20mins? to the nearest BTS that is provided you don't stop and see see look look. And for those using Grab, most of the driver don't know this hotel. You can wait at the hotel lobby and let the staff direct them to you or go to Baiyoko hotel and let them fetch you from there.

Now, let's talk about more about the room. Both of us feel this hotel room is very clean and quite big. I remember that we open both of our luggage, we still have spaces to walk around. Oh ya.. for this hotel, we booked the room with the breakfast option. Their breakfast variety is not wide but I still get my favourite sunny-side up eggs!

2) ibis Bangkok Siam

This is my 2nd time staying here! I really like the location of this hotel. Just next to the National Stadium BTS and walking distance to all the malls around Siam. They have a 7-11 just inside the hotel, in the hotel lobby! I can just wear my pjs down and buy snacks~ And for those who need money changer, there is no need to wait for those at Siam shopping centre to open their stores normally open at 11am, because there is one just next to the hotel in Lub D Bangkok Siam. It is also just opposite to MBK, the food and shopping paradise for many!

Please note that the BTS exit is straight in front of the hotel. But to go to the bridge linking to other Siam malls, you must walk to the staircase in front of Bangkok Art & Culture Centre.

The room and toilet are slightly smaller than the first hotel we went. We really recommended this for explorers who want a hotel near the BTS and really affordable!

Conclusion
I will definitely stay in either of this two hotels for my next trip to the land of thousand smiles! But if you want me to choose which one I will highly recommend, it really depends on you.

Do you want to be the explorer or the shopper? 

Also, remember to bring your own toothbrush because it seems like most of the hotels are not providing it. :)

Last but not least, I hope you enjoy my post about where we stayed. If you have any other hotels or Airbnb that you highly recommended, do email or dm me!

Kop kun ka!

Updates!

It has been a while since I updated.

 

I will definitely be blogging about my recent trip to the Land of Thousand Smiles,Bangkok. Hmm... We didn't really explore a lot of cafes or places like the other bloggers or Instagram post I saw online when researching. So I will blog more about the experience we had in the places that we visited.. However, my biggest regret is I didn't get to try Pablo Cheesetart even though we try to search the mall for it... for 1 whole hour.

Now that X have finished his exam. We will be exploring and eating out a little more than usual. So, do expect a few food post coming up soon!

See you around!

Random.

It has been so long since I blogged! Been quite busy with the freelance business that my friends and I started! 😱

Think I will just blog about something I saw today after my yoga class...
So I saw this guy running across the road in sportswear, running and sweating!
I thought he must have been exercising for quite a while until I saw what shoes he is wearing..
He is wearing slippers... Slippers! 
Hmmmmm... then I notice where he is stopping..
He stopped in front of those dirty ice-cream store...

Lesson learnt: Don't make assumptions!

About.

 

Yes! I can take out the part time student from my profile!
Finally I graduated, but now I feel like studying maybe another field or language.
Maybe I wouldn't be taking out the part time student just yet.

Review: MEET

OMG. The last food review I written was in 2015. I need to write more food reviews. Let's start with somewhere near my house.

MEET
180 Kitchener Road
#02-37/38 City Square Mall
Singapore 208539

Facebook  |  Instagram

A newly-opened dining place that just opened on 13 January 2017 Yes, that new! at City Square Mall. X and I were anticipating their opening for so so long. Mainly because X loves beef and I am just excited that there is a new food place opening at City Square Mall. According to their description, they are a french-japanese fusion kind of resturant. Yeah! food food food. 

 

 

Their menu are placed on chopping board! Very interesting. Please note that on Saturdays & Sundays, they are serving all-day brunch menu! I LIKE LOVE IT.

Teehee... Really addicted to Boomerang

First up, Pan Seared Prawn with Garlic & Jarmon Serrao. It is under the Warm Tapas portion. X love the Jamón Serran, he finished everything and left me with nothing. ... But it is okay, I ate most of the prawns. :p The prawns are super fresh and QQ texture quoted from X, however it is not very hot. It is warm on the outside and cold on the inside. 

Next, Crisp Blacken Baby Squid in Squid Ink served with Garlic Mayonnaise and Lemon Wedges under Warm Tapas. A lot of legs... I mean tentacles... Not sure they are baby squid or not. I feel that the batter is a little too thick for me, but X loves it! He said it is crispy and just right for him.

 

Classis Poached Eggs on Crispy Potato Rosti with Spinach, Sauteed Mushrooms in Hollandaise Sauce under All Day Brunch. They have 3 of my favorite food in one dish, I will rate it 4.5/5!  Their eggs are perfect just look at the images below ↓! X was worried that the eggs will be hard boiled, but the eggs here are P-E-R-F-E-C-T. X feel that the dish is quite plain, would be better with sausage or smoked salmon. For me, I feel that the rosti can be more crispy and it is not plain, I like it... a lot.  But I don't like veggie so if can change to meat will be a plus point.

 

Super bouncy~ ♡

Super watery~ ♡

 

Lastly, Salmon Fricassee in a Bag with Yuzu, Dashi, Kombu, Clams & Scallops under All Day Brunch. One word, B-R-A-V-O. I love love love love love it. Especially the salmon, it is pretty big and best part is it is fresh, no fishy taste at all! b^.^d The clams is fresh, scallops also fresh and they have Dashi stock in the soup.  I am a fan of any food with Dashi in it. Just write Dashi and I will order you unless you are full of veggie. X said it would be better if they add seafood stock aiyo... he got a lot of comment la. 

"It's alive!"

We will definitely be back again. A lot of dishes on their menu looks so interesting like their Honey Spiced Roasted Chicken and Oven-baked Seafood in Puff Pastry. Yumm! 

Side Note:
Please note that comment and feedback are X and my personal point of views. Even the two of us that are dating for the past 7 years have different point of views, do share your point of view with us :) If you have any food that you want us to try, you can email us too :)
