Bangkok Trip Day 3 – Part 3: Pattaya

09/12/2011 5 Comments

Bangkok Trip – After spending 2 hours at Pattaya Floating Market, then we are heading down to Pattaya town to further discover the place. . .

So the driver told us that this temple is very nice and decided to drop us here for a quick prayer and we did also with some donations.

Further inside the city its like super long beach covers along with night entertainment which I will put inside another posting (so do watch out)

Last time I remember I came accross a blog that there is a new mall opening and with huge open air concept area for F&B outlets by the beach side facing the sea and I could not remember what is that mall called already. Regreted didnt key it down and we ended up in this new mall Central Festival at Pattaya which is the Largest beachfront lifestyle mall Shopping Mall in Asia.

Very nice Interior and well design mall, easy to walk around ..

Best of all they have like indoor weekend market style ..

After a quick walk, we were very hungry and head out, manage to peek outside the mall that they have a street of kopitiam style food and we quickly head there to hunt for food. There are about 9 stalls side by side and one of the stalls that attracted us in is PORK LEG!

They are hot, thirsty and hungry . .

this is the super star that makes us choose this stall that comes to Thai must not miss Pork Leg

This is the most sinfull of all yet one of the best!!!

we ordered one stripe of fried pork as I choose myself what part I wanted and its super crispy, the meat is soft and dip along with their own homemade sauce is superb! A MUST HAVE!

Then followed by Pork leg, braised till meat is soft, pork skin near to melt in mouth and add in their own gravy to make it more moist.

Tomyam seafood as we find that the different taste of Pattaya cooking style and Bangkok cooking style as Pattaya taste of soup heading more sweet and sour not too spicy. .

Tomyam pork definitely taste much better compare to the seafood one.

Fried Omelet that is drench in oil yet very aromatic and we add on a bit chili sauce to perfected it. .It was indeed a satisfying meal . .

As everyone is very satisfied now, we head to the beach area to take a peak as we have very limited time in Pattaya .. .

Feels like I am at Batu Ferringi just that they have lots of beach umbrella side by side .. .

AS the weather is killing us, all of them want to head back to the mall then only we saw superb architecture of Hilton hotel that overlook the beach front which is inside the Central Festival Mall.

Savadeekap with mr.MacD

One of the thing I realize is that this little desert stall is every where in Bangkok and also even in Pattaya, Ice Monster, that I often saw alot people queuing for it. As this round we nearly melt from the weather outside, we decided to try out by enjoying the mall air condition.

Under customize section, you can get to choose the ice and toppings you want as we are lazy to choose we choose the one in the menu.

Overall, we didnt really like the desert as find it a bit too sweet to our liking, very milky and the texture is more like Ice Kacang ice based top with some fruits and milk/ chocolate syrup.

One of the place that we came across which is hidden at Ampang (seriously hidden) which is Intai-Intai Restaurant. Intai-Intai Restaurant Ramahdan Buka Puasa Buffet RM 48 nett. I was curious and ask the owner why this name was chosen, as he said, intai means peek therefore you need to take a peek to know where is the restaurant,the restaurant served Halal Thai food .. . .

Intai – intai offers customer to enjoy in their natural environment with sound of cricket, birds chirping yet a romantic ambiance during at night.

Let’s intai (peek) what does the restaurant have to offer and the nature of the area and a quick tour of the restaurant.

A pond was originally there.

During this festive month, many of the restaurant owners are doing buffet dinner (eat all you can) to offer to all the Muslims and non-muslims to dine and relax at such a great environment.

If you do have a big family, Intai-Intai Restaurant do have a big area to cater up to 30-40 people for one section.

Great Indonesian food at IR 1968 Indochine Restaurant and Bar @ Terrance Hock Choon, Ampang

25/06/2010 No Comments

I love travelling and one of the place I travel quite often few years back was Indonesia, then did stay there for about a month too till I ask my friends to bring me around the whole city and went for food hunting. Since then, its hard to find nice Indonesian food except Ayem Penyet which is one of my favorite that I find it similar to their local taste. IR 1968 Indochine Restaurant and Bar.

Not until last week, a dinner was organise here by Lisa and Henry at Terrance Hock Choon that a newly build up area that operate not that long located at Jalan Ampang, which is a conversion of an old building to a few combination of restaurant that serve fine dining with a classic old building that provide a perfect ambiance to host a romantic dinner, corporate function or even events.

A few restaurant is in this place and what I have been told by my friend that the Japanese Restaurant Fukuharu serve pretty unique menu for the night, as the menu is a board with a limited choices (served fresh ingredient for the day) with chef’s special.

IR stands for Indonesian Restaurant which I got to know that is one of a famous restaurant that visited by many celebrities in Hong Kong and recently had branches a new outlet in Kuala Lumpur.

Through its great history that the restaurant had been founded as early as 1968 by Hudson’s grandfather operating their first outlet in Hong Kong then operate by his dad and now himself, the cuisine is serve with a hint of Chinese mix Indonesian as they are originally from Indonesia and operate in Hong Kong that the taste changes to suit local taste bud.

Let’s head up to the restaurant for a peek before dining. . . It was decorated with a very romantic feel at the ground floor with pale white near transparent curtain hanging around the stair ways and candle light lit all the way up to the restaurant.

I love how the restaurant is decorated by painting black on the walls and ceiling, modern Chinese lantern is place up, filled with ashes wooden chairs and tables.

Lovely couples can be seated seated here, with the place is decorated perfectly with candles, laterns and dim oval, lights placed in between.

A bar that ready to cater all your thirst.

Wine range is quite unique.

Decorative item in the restaurant is quite unique too,with animal head in bronsze/

This gives me the memory of a cartoon that you ask for future and past that what is going to happen.

You can be seated outside if you like and for smokers, its quite a comfortable area to go after~

night view~

To all the world cup fans out there, they also do have big projection screen to play some of the live mathes.

If you are a corporate functions, they can arrange the whole list of menu and setting for you.

A very comfortable ambience to be in while dining and catching up with friends~

They used classic traddional china style porcelain . . wish I can steal one back….:)

Life in Bangladesh Part 3

05/04/2010 No Comments

I was lucky when I got selected by the company to get send over to Bangladesh for a showcase, during the past 4 days I am there, with very limited free time that I have, I manage to take a peek of the city during last day of the fair, the food there was great (click here) and the fair where I was attending (click here).

During the last day, I woke up very early and went to the fair to set up everything, and the remaining of the time before the exhibition start, I went out further into their city to take a glimpse on how the city looks like as I was very curious and at the same time need to go hunting for souvenir.

Let’s ride on this taxi and let me take you a mini tour street photography that I had took. I am still learning in this area.

With only an hour that I have, I walked fast and snap fast, do not have the time to enjoy the proper street photography that I have always wanted. I just wish I do have the extra time.

It was very early morning around 7am where every one is still sleeping and I was walking around my hotel area to see what is around there. They sky is always hazy here and those with sinus, this would not be a country good for you.

One thing which I have realizes that, there are a lot of universities in Bangladesh city itself. Just along the road of my hotel, there are 4 of them and not to mention a few blocks away and even though most of them are with degree holder but their pay is just very little with fresh grad non technical background, will get paid around USD100 per month and those with technical background USD200, which is double. That is why you see a lot of Bangladeshi in our country that even though they sapu toilet, the pay is higher than their fresh grad pay.

Then directly in between 2 universities, located this street food, as I was advice not to try as I got the license of smell and see only, which is pretty suffering for me, I love fooooddd! This is because they scared that our anti body system cannot support the level of dirtiness there, and will get terrible stomachache.

Kids here, start working as young as 5 years old to earn their living, some are streets and some help out in family or friends business.

Roti Canai Bangla Version.

Different style of making the dough.

And this is what accompany the roti.

With all the universities student flocking this area for their breakfast.

Trisaw peddler that cost as cheap as RM1 for a ride around the area.

With the classic style of carrying things ontop of their head. It is not light judging by the things on her head.

If you are looking for something to shop, this are the kind of shop you will be looking for that all cramp in one place. They still do use classic wiring that is all over the poll to the shop and when look up at it, its full of wiring.

This is how their streets looks like . . .

Everyone loves to be in the picture in this country, no matter young or old, whenever you take your camera up and ready to shoot, they will just appear in front of you.

After tour around the hotel, and head to exhibition hall and set up everything, now head to their town area.

According to the guy that driving me around, this road would be very jam as the current distance to the traffic light could take up 30-45 minutes easily, as I was like hah! its worst than KL traffic jam.

They do have ‘tut tut’ service too as what is in Thailand. Sometimes they just don stop and how you ride on it is you run and hop, then as see in the picture, just grab it like the guy do till you reach the destination then you hop off again.

I was told by that guy that, this is the main market in Bangladesh City which I can get my souvenir here.

Most of the shops had not open yet, but for consumer wise, it is very easy for us that they had seperated everything into sections. This street would be more on clothes and jewelry . . .

The book sections, where all the shops cramp in this area selling books.

Head to another level,

Shoe section. . . .

To me, it feels more like ‘Padang Besar’ like the one at the boarder of of Thai and Malaysia.

Flower Sections.

The market is very huge, which is like a big rectangle box and this is another entrance / exit that I do not know where I have walk too, and outside this market, there are alot of vendors selling shoes and slipper . One of the favourites there are Crocs slipper are available too with around RM20 as their selling price (original or not, I have no idea)

Kids Clothes section.

This is how the view out from the market.

This is not a police car or our local security car that protect the cash. This is one of their public transportation, to protect you in most of the places.

The streets will get more busy after 11pm as it is still very early when I took this.

One of the lovely food I love to try, still cant.

All the paddlers getting ready to race.

A juction with no traffic law. You can syok syok turn or go straight even there are a policeman where the unpatient driver will do that and there is one bus that have no patience and break the traffic law directly go straight, the policeman was standing and cursing then took out his book and wrorte down the plate.

This their parliment area which I think it look classic cool.

and lastly after could not find anything in the market, and stop by this shop, which is a shopping mall with 4 floors high, that makes me nearly fainted when I walked in. Its like mini market in our country that been well decorated in interior.

After the peek of it and I went back to the exhibition and grab a travel guide from one of the exhibitors there and look at their places of interest. Amazingly, there are actually quite numbers of places to be visited that have to drive out from the city and their structure looks good! More info of their travel of interest (click here)
