While I was in Bangkok, one major problem I encountered was language barrier. Out of 10 people seen on the street, only 3 could speak proper English. For instance, simple questions like 'How do we get there?' or 'Which train station must we board to reach this place?', some of them just couldnt understand.
So that made it even harder for my friends and I to ask for directions and other information. Fortunately Caryn prepared a list of English-Thai word translation. I'd say it helped us quite alot.
After returning from the floating market, we seeked for restaurant suggestions from the receptionist at the hotel counter. She named several but we were only fond of one name - Tasty Thai. O.o Sounded catchy ma! So off we went hunting for it.
The weather that day was exceptionally hot. I remember I had to endure a long tiring walk before we finally found the place.
Tasty Thai.
The color combination of this restaurant somehow reminds me of Burger King.
We were very thrifty during that particular lunch. Why? Coz we deliberately ordered two set lunch (which comes with two different dishes - a bowl of soup and a plate of appetizer) and added three more plates of white rice. That's how we save for the sake of more shopping! Smart leh. *grin*
For appetizers, we chose Por Pia Pak (crispy spring roll) and Tod Mun Pla (fish patties). As for soup, we tried Tom Yam Koong (tom yam with prawns) and Tom Kha Gai (tom kha with chicken).
Our food verdict? Wasn't the best Thai meal we had. I personally thought the food was mediocre in taste but to Suzannea.k.a food critic, it was below average. She even reckoned the Thai restaurants in Malaysia are anytime way better than this one wor.
When we were back at the hotel for a short rest, a series of unforgettable incident took place. Have got nothing else to say but it was purely my mistake. My bad. :( By now, I presume most of the people who personally know me would have gotten a full coverage of it. So, I shall put a fullstop to this part. Period.
*fast forward*

In the evening, we wandered around the Japanese street. The girls were in search for some...
...Takoyaki!!!!!
I cant recall how much this cost but it was more or less the same price as the ones sold in Malaysia.
However in Malaysia, digging into a Takoyaki ball to find a huge piece of squid would be like hitting a jackpot. But at Thailand, it looks so visible you can almost die of delirium by the sight of its ingredients! *gasp* Like seriously.
This time, the girls definitely loved this one.
Salivating already? Heheh. Me too. *wipes own mouth*
