0 comments

Siam Paragon was just a 5 minute walk from our hotel. So we went there for lunch and dinner.

everydough Butter Tteok

Was excited to find butter tteok here, so cheers to my first ever taste of this dessert.

let's buy a bag

mission accomplished

sweet, firm and chewy and definitely buttery

I think butter tteok would taste better when it is toasted? No idea as we finished ours while waiting for for our queue number to be called at Thong Smith.

The flavours that I got were one savoury (dried shrimp), and four sweets; yam, coconut cream with coconut flesh, chocolate, and coconut cream with yolk thread.

Waited for about 15 minutes for the queue number to be called. Got a table a few minutes before 2pm.

The noodles all looked hearty and delicious. Ordered 3 with noodles and one wagyu soup.

are you team skin or fats?

pork noodles (dry)

thin egg noodles

Kurobuta pork boat noodles

sliced wagyu with broth

enough photos, let's dunk the meat into the hot broth


It was pretty good. Now I understand their popularity. 


sour plum soda to quench thirst

I enjoyed our lunch and we went walk walk around the mall to walk off some of the calories as well as to source our dinner venue for the next day (!)



Domo Yakiniku

This restaurant is at Level 4 and we were in the mood for more wagyu (!) We went there for dinner.

We could use our mobile phone to order. So, let's start!

marinated cherry tomatoes (appetiser)

nakaochi

beef tongue

assorted platter

let's get the grill going~


We had to remind ourselves that this is not a buffet! Thank you Hence for grilling the meats.

yummy in the making

Beef tongue was the group's favourite cut and that was evident because on the bill, we found 4 orders of tongue (!)

For me, I like the jo karubi's texture and its fats ratio.

let's munch on some leaves too~


Ordered a beef rice pot to share. This was the only dish where the staff will help to mix and dish out into a bowl.

this was yummy!

The rice portion, I think it was meant for 2 pax. Flavourful, oily and yummy. Good choice.

beef tartare


Oh my goodness. The beef tartare was wow. Clean taste and nice flavours. I love the texture of the tartare strips.


nakaochi (rib finger)

Nakaochi is also another meat cut which I liked. Hence, I can conclude I liked all the ribs related meats.


squid and mushrooms

doesn't it look like a caterpillar?

Tracy wanted to end the meal with noodles, so we also ordered the fried beef fats rice to try as well.

Oh, another good call! The beef fats rice was yummy. The beef fats was so flavourful!

cold noodles

We spent about ฿6900 for the meal. Thank you to Tracy, Hence and Ivan for sharing the calories!

Friendly Visitors

Let's walk around and feel the vibes.







Plenty of artisanal shops with curious things to warrant a visit. It was an ecletic mix of newly old and actual vintage shops in the same vicinity.









coconut matcha (the literal version)

I had mistaken coconut matcha for matcha with coconut water. It was matcha water with coconut flesh. It was a nice healthy respite from the afternoon heat.

We walked to Yaowarat for lunch.

in Chinatown


Hua Seng Hong 


We went into an old school establishment and was greeted by air-conditioning. That was pure bliss. We placed our orders of some dim sum and signature dishes.




fish roe shrimp dumpling



prawn shu mai


Loved the shrimps in the dim sum but not a fan of the mushy skin of the har gao though.

prawn vermicelli, goose webs

closer view

goose web


The vermicelli had strong flavours and delivered that punch upon first bite. Yums! The braise goose web was lovely too.


sweetened chrysanthemum tea (cold)


After our meal, I went to the washroom and when I returned to the table, Ivan said they ordered wan ton noodles. I was like, no lah... we finished our meal liao when suddenly, that bowl of noodles was placed on the table. Hehe, just one bowl to try. Ok lah.

Expect to spend about ฿800 per person.

Nai Ek Roll Noodles

Next round was at this kway jub place which was within walking distance from the first restaurant.

queue to enter

menu


While we were queueing up to enter, we had to also place our orders first and make payment. After which, was just to await for a table to become available.

sauces


kway jub one pax

my portion


The kway jub soup was expectedly peppery but less spicy than the one in Chiang Mai. It was comforting even in a hot weather. The crispy pork was nice too.

kao kha moo (trotters rice)


The trotters rice was simple with just a deliciously braised trotter, rice and some pickled vegetables. Loved the combo and the pork didn't have any strong gamey taste.

The prices were reasonable too.
