[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!

[Travel Tasmania] Pre-Lunch at The Pondering Frog

0 comments

This was our pit-stop for some hot food after a short wine tasting at Devil's Corner. Yes, seven early eight early at 10+am, me and Tracy sipped Tasmanian wine and now, we need to refuel our tummies.


quaint cafe

The whole place gives out a childhood vibes. Fun and unserious, possibly.

pondering about life, perhaps?

pretty extensive

The cafe was fairly busy as it was near lunch time, though still a tad early. Browsed the menu and looked like they had plenty of options and also Asian food like curry noodles (or was it laksa), and rice dishes similar to those one would find at zichar stalls (Asian stir-fry). 



Salt and Pepper Wings @AUD12

drumlets or winglets for you?

I thought salt & pepper would be 'dryer' version but eventually through out the trip, it seemed to be heavy on garlic and has sauce/glaze.

We were hungry, so ordered rice dishes to share.

Black Bean Beef @AUD20

Honey Chicken @AUD22

Rice was well cooked and the stir-fry tasty. Honey chicken had the crispiest shell and although it could be less sweet, overall very likeable. Black bean sauce was not too salty and lovely to have broccoli and all the vege in that dish.

so cute, Ivan's order

One thing that I wanted to get next at this place, was the ice-cream.

what is your pick?

Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Coated @AUD7.50

It was interesting to see that the ice-cream cone were all ready packed and staff would just need to take it out from the freezer. Oh, the regular cone was huge!

hurry hurry before it melts


It was a nice meal at a nice place. Come say hi to the owner or the staff. Friendly people.

[Jeju] Snacking @ Dongmun Traditional Market 제주동문시장

0 comments

 After slurping up the Octopus Noodles , we went back to a snack stall that we saw earlier. Let's have some eomuk, tteokpokki and gimbap!

The stall serves up the food fast and the patrons usually just stand infront of the stall to enjoy the snacks. There's also space inside the shop for patrons who wanted to have more food.

snacks shop

The inside was pretty full and we went in when a table had vacated. One should order at the front and then ask if there's any seats inside. Please have your cash ready and pay as soon as the food is served.

떡볶이

어묵

순대

altogether ₩15000

The tteokpokki at this stall was huge, so having one was more than enough for me. Sauce was balanced spicy. The fish cake skewers, well.. it's fish cake skewers. Slightly tastier than other shops and looked good too. 


gimbap

The gimbap was decent and the sundae was nicely soft, except for the liver which was dry and tasteless,

Apparently, this place was visited by Blackpink, way back in 2018 during the filming of Blackpink House in Jeju.
