1st Day In Bangkok

After checking in, unpacking our luggage and calling our parents to tell them that we reached safely in Bangkok, it was already closed to dinner time…. Decided to walk to Mah Boon Krong (MBK) for dinner… yap, our hotel is just located within minutes of walk from MBK.. Isn’t that wonderful? =P

We wandered ard the shopping centre for a while, looking for “delicious” food.. then we stumped upon this Chinese restaurant called 香味.. the food photos displayed outside the restaurant really looked tempting, so we decided to give it a try.. upon stepping into the restaurant, dear found his “feel”.. ha ha ha.. that’s because the restaurant is playing canto songs.. how can my dear not be uncle.. really dun know how to dispute that =P

Our dinner….
We ordered har gow, fried pineapple rice with ham, bbq pork and egg, fried ee fu noodle with ham, stirred fried vege with oyster sauce, fish maw soup, glutinous dumpling in ginger soup, watermelon shake and coffee… that’s hell lots of things… but not to worry, in Thailand, food serving is very small… so each dish (other than the main one) will only take 2 to 4 mouthful… Only got good things to say abt the food… YUMMY ….We left the place, feeling happy and satisfied.. what a good way to start a shopping trip =P

By the time we done for dinner, it appeared to be like 7plus… decided to make full use of the time, so did some minor shopping at MBK.. MBK was huge.. din even finished all the storey… But made some good purchases…

Our shopping prizes from MBK during 1st night……
- a pair of sunglasses for dear …
- a wallet and key pouch for our parents
- tailor made full suit for dear (inclusive of jacket, pants, shirt and a tie)..

Dear was very satisfied with his suit.. The guy, Krish took his measurement that night.. we went back for fitting the next day ard 9pm.. and on Sunday, dear got his suit… looked very nice on him… Spent abt S$300 on the suit… though my colleague said it was a little ex but we were happy with the purchases.. Back at home, making of a full suit with Eric would cost a bomb.. a pair of pants alone costs S$120.. one shirt easily costs S$100…so what do you think the price of the jacket would be like? I’ll leave that to your imagination… in anyway, dear is looking for quality.. so hopefully the extra $$that we spent for is worth the quality.. we loved the services and workmanship of that shop.. looking forward to visit the place to make a suit for me the next time we visit…

Our massage….
Ended the night with the grand finale… a 2-hour full body Thai massage.. the massage is really cheap.. 2-hour massage only costs THB380 (approx S$17).. where to find that in Singapore… Though the place looked quite rundown, service was extremely good… we enjoyed ourselves and the massaging really relaxed our leg muscles.. we are so happy that we tipped the girls… they were so happy when they received it.. to us, it was only about S$4 each per tip, per person… but you can see that they were happy.. they even asked us to go back the next day…. After the massage, we were looking forward to more shopping the next day..

Started to love Bangkok...
