Food trip in Bangkok Chinatown

We rested for a while after checking in at the Intercontinental Hotel then we headed to Chinatown. I was trying to contact Uber but it kept on saying it’s not accessible from my location. I didn’t know there’s no more Uber in Thailand. We took a cab instead. The driver didn’t want to base the fare on the meter. He wanted a soild 200 baht using the traffic as the reason. We haggled and agreed to a 150 fare.


My husband knows I love fresh pomegranate juice.
E—“Bumili ka na.”

Pomegranate juice, Bangkok
I drank one bottle, medyo matabang. The vendor claims it has no water and no sugar. Mas matapang ang lasa nung pomegranate juice sa America.

A tea ceremony will be held at our residence in Manila in October as part of Oyen’s formal engagement following the Chinese tradition. Maybe I should buy 30 of these tiny cups. I only have English tea cups and not the traditional Chinese tea cups which are considerably smaller.

Nakakagutom

I couldn’t control my appetite anymore at saka gutom na’ko. We ate noodles on the sidewalk, Baht 40 / bowl.

Dito sana kami kakain pero ayaw ko kasi mainit, malapit sa ihawan.

Ang tapang nitong babae na ito. Malakas ang sikmura, isinubo yung palaka na mukhang nakanganga pa.

For some reason, Thailand’s coconut is so sweet and fragrant. It has a natural pandan-like flavor.
