Day 1
Right after we check-in to our hotel, we head striaght to MBK. Things haven't changed much ... as crowded as a couple years ago when I was here, regardless it is a Thur or weekend. (Don't the people need to work or study here in BKK ??)
How can we start shopping, we must fill up our stomach. So me and ahpuisoh went around looking for a the foodcourt that I went to last time. As we are looking around, we were tempted by the poster and a HUGE banner telling us that there is this 'Food Avenue' where they serve 'good' food from all over the world. So here we go, conned to enter this Mache-like foodcourt. The place was so empty and we can only see a few table taken up by tourist, no locals. Determined to find our foodcourt and the fish-maw soup that was sold at the foodcourt, we decide to go out and contine searching. So, for those who will be going to MBK next time, don't waste your time in at the 'Food Avenue', nothing fancy there, unless you perfer to pay more for your usual hawker fare.
And finally after some searching, we managed to find our foodcourt (which happened to be one level up ....). After changing my baht into coupons, it is time to fill up my stomach. I ordered a plate of Chili Fried Rice with Chicken (45 Baht = $2.05) and a bowl of fish-maw soup (60 Baht = $2.75).
The Chili Fried Rice was good and HOT! But nothing is too hot for ahpui, and I really enjoyed it. But this is defintely a no-no for those who cannot take spicy stuff. It comes with a hard-boiled egg, a fried chicken drumlet and a tiny portion of veggie.The rice was nicely fried (the hardness was just nice) and of cos, HOT. The only thing that is disppointing is that the fried chicken drumlet is a bit cold as it had been left sitting there for quite sometime. But the star is not the chicken, but the rice itself, so overall I would still recommend it. (Ahpui score of 7/10)
The fish-maw soup come in a claypot, and enough for 2 person. There are plenty of ingredients in the soup and a generous portion of fish-maw. It was not resturant quality, but for $2.75, it is really value for money. However, try not to leave the soup standing for too long as it will becomes watery after sometime. (
Having still got some space left in my ahpui tummy, and I am craving for Pah Thai for a long time, I decide to order a plate of PahThai (35 baht = $1.60). I got the one without the sea-food, and it comes only with a few slice of pork. But who cares, who I like is the fried rice noodles and the taste of it when you mix it with peanuts, sugar and chili flakes .... 'mo dak teng' :p Highly recommended, cheap and good. (
