Bangkok Trip (Day 2 - Part 2)

Continued from Day 2 Part 1, here.

After some much needed shower and rest for my two poor feet, we headed out again for dinner at Chinatown. We tried to hail for cab but they refused to go by meter and the fare they asked for is ridiculously high, so once again we resort to public transport..

BKK - the city of 'angel'
the nearest station - Ratchaprarop
Our hotel was quite near to the Airport Rail Link, just 5 min walk to there and from there we could transfer to BTS and most of the tourist attractions along the line.

After some help from the friendly Thai people, we managed to find out way from the MRT to the landmark of Chinatown, which confirmed that we were on the right track :P

the ever familiar language :D
At Bangkok, the must try seafood is "big head" river prawn and one of the famous seafood restaurant is located at Chinatown. There are the T&K seafood and opposite shop is the L&R seafood, one with green uniform while the latter with red uniform. But we were late and the Q in front of T&K was crazy long, so we decided to try L&R seafood instead because no waiting time required.

BBQ prawn ~
BIG!!
Tom Yum Gong, slurp!
fish steamed with chili and lime
"hair jo" suprisingly good :D
dessert : bird nest
Two person with a table full of food and the portion was really big, price was not expensive either :) The prawn dipped in the sweet lime sauce was so so good and the tomyum was very nice too! Spicy and sour, I could finished all the soup if I was not so full :) Everything was quite fresh and good, except the bird nest..lol..of coz we won't be expecting too much from a 200 Baht "bird nest" right?

After dinner, we strolled around the street to help with our digestion :) Our first stop was to get some pork floss at Lim zhen Xiang. Second stop was to try out the toast bread somewhere near Lim Zhen Xiang, but we had no clue of the exact location, so we just walked around looking for stall with crowd around it.

Found it! Toasty bread
The local really like this toast because everyone was like taking away not just one but dozens of packs at one go...We were really curious and ordered : milk & butter toast (menu indicated flavour option in english) but the type of bun was written in Thai language and they called our numbers in Thai too! Luckily, we learnt some basic number in Thai :)
smelled nice


However, maybe it softened after we went back to our hotel so the texture not that nice but still the milk and butter was a perfect combi with the toast :) 

That's how we end our Day 2 :)

Day 3 and Day 4 was basically all shopping and shopping and I totally forgotten about picture snapping! Lolol~ 
Now I already started to miss Bangkok! I shall go with my girl friends so we can shop til drop ! :
Anyone interested please let me know ya ! :D

XOXO
