[Travel Thailand] Eating Our Way in Siam Paragon @ Bangkok

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!

Yappari Steak @ Vivocity

0 comments

Walked past this shop during lunch time and decided to pop in. On hindsight, I must've been influenced by the instagram post recently featuring their founder.

Got seated pretty quickly and the place was fairly busy on a weekend around 130pm.

menu


Went with the staff's recommendation of top blade and did the 200gm portion. Also ordered Orion draft to go along with the meal.

paper apron and utensils

do you wear one?

looks well used

Was amused as I saw the staff who seemed to have some difficulty in pouring the beer. There was too much foam during the first pour where half the glass was foam. She then removed half of the foam and topped up the rest of the beer.

いただきます

top-blade 200gm @$23.80++

Actually, I have no idea how long should I be cooking the steak on a hotstone. It's been so many years since I last had a hotstone steak. So, ended up being all busy from slicing the meat, turning it to prevent overcooking and probably removed it too early from the stone... Anyway, I am the one who's gonna eat whatever outcome of the doneness the meat became.

spicy shoyu was my top sauce


searing smaller chunks



The meat wasn't that tender but neither was it that tough. Somewhat in between? Flavour-wise, I preferred the meat with the spicy shoyu sauces. The natural taste was a tad too beefy for me. The wasabi sauce seemed like it was mixed with something else. Sauce bottles were oily to touch.


warm egg drop soup

The egg drop soup was surprisingly tasty and balanced out the taste of the beer.

Not all staff exuded friendliness but they were helpful. Overall spend was about $41 for the meal.

[Travel] In the Heart of Bangkok - Dinner at KubKao' KubPla @ Central Embassy

3 comments

One of Hence and Tracy's favourite restaurant in Bangkok, located at Central Embassy. Have learnt that during recent experience in Bangkok, if the Grab ride to the destination is 15 minutes, call for Grab at least 15 minutes + (normal duration to reach destination x 2).

Managed to reach Central Embassy around 5.45pm so I was on-time for our 6pm dinner with friends from Australia.

According to Google Maps, this restaurant has a few outlets in Bangkok. This one at Central Embassy has a cafe'ish vibe.

will leave the ordering to the experts

coconut smoothie while waiting for our friends

This round, my go-to drink seemed to be coconut smoothie. Maybe it was the heat, so needed some cooling down. Hehe.

Crab Meat Omelette @฿1200

stir fried Chinese broccoli with crispy pork @฿265

Deep fried seabass with fish sauce @฿620


The crab meat omelette was good, with good chunks of crab meat on the outer side (decorative purpose) as well as lovingly enveloped inside the omelette. Turns out Chinese broccoli is kai-lan. The deep fried seabass was superb on its own. The meat was flavourful and cooked just right. There was a dipping sauce but none of us needed it.

Shrimps in fish sauce topped with spicy sauce @฿295

The raw shrimps dish was better than I thought. The shrimps were firm and plump. The marinade was refreshingly tangy, and not too spicy.

Spicy tom yum soup with shrimps and young coconut @฿360

fried chicken wings served with sticky rice @฿185

Dinner was an enjoyable affair. Lovely to meet up with old and new friends, and interesting to hear them share their perspective on various topics.

mango sticky rice @฿189


The mango sticky rice was good. Fresh mangoes sweet and juicy, paired with slightly warm sticky rice. 

Thank you Hence and Tracy for the treat!
