Chinatown & Khaosan Road

On the second day of our trip, we hit the streets at Chinatown in the evening to check what this place has to offer. I've been there two years ago though.

Chinatown.

Since we were in no hurry, we took a stroll along the narrow pathways of Chinatown or more like walking aimlessly until suddenly...

...we met a lovely couple sitting by the roadside who recommended to us a supposedly famous Thai fried noodle. We took note of their advice and searched for it later at night.


Before we left Chinatown, one of the girls spotted this wo tip look-a-like dumpling. My friend figured it would be nice to have a try, so she bought five pieces for 350 baht (RM 3.50).


Took a cab and travelled on the road for less than 15 minutes to reach the following destination. And that was where our food feast began.


Me, Suzanne and Meei Ruu at Khao San Road.


Caryn had the time of her life shopping for cute printed baby t-shirts.


Of course the first food we hunted for was none other than padthai as suggested by the elderly couple.


The various ingredients used for cooking padthai. As for its taste, it's somewhat similar to our local char kuey teow.

If there is one food Thai people that they can't live without, that would have to be sugar. In fact, most of their food needs a whole lotta sugar to compliment its taste.


Another food stall we tried was the banana + egg pancake which cost 250 baht (RM 2.50) as well.


Next, we hopped on to the next stall for mango sticky rice for 250 baht (RM 2.50).


Incredibly sweet. Very rich in coconut milk too. The sticky (glutinous) rice is like a solid rice pudding base to the dish (mango).


We also each had a piece of yummy grilled bbq chicken wing.

;)

Crafts, paintings, clothes, pirate CDs, DVDs, fake educational diplomas, fake driver's licenses, food, second-hand books and many other items are among the common goods traded along the road.

Walao, can you imagine I could just walk up to the seller and say, "Hey, I'd like to buy a degree certificate." -_____-"

Since our stomach were able to consume a lil more food, we proceeded to McD's for a second round of dinner. ;p


Ronald McDonald with a Thai pose which was something new to us. Sawadeekah!

Notice that pork burger is available here.

Oh and apparently, what you see on the board is the exact amount you pay for your food. Pretty good isn't it? Not so deceiving and all. Tsk tsk.


All of us were darn full when we finished our burgers, we couldnt stuff in anymore of the french fries.


When we decided to leave, the rain started pouring heavily. Luckily, we had our ponchos to put on. Teehee!

Tell you something, the second night of our trip was one heck of a nightmare when we were back at the hotel. By far, one of the worst experience I faced. More about it in the next post.

Signing off.
