Midnight Cravings

Ah, can't help it! Skipped dinner and is feeling very hungry :) Trying to look at some food pictures and decided to write and keep myself busy instead of eating ! It has been so long since I go back home, and it has been even longer since I gone back to Penang! I miss Penang and especially the food there. Satay!!! One of my favourites! Can't get this in Bangkok.. Well, they have satay here but it's not the same. Malaysian's satays are better ^^


Ikan panggang (grill fish) .. missing it now!! Stingray panggang too, can't be found in Bangkok. The sauce is the most important element in this dish. The fish is grilled between the pandan leaves and the aroma of the leaves get into the fish with the combination of sambal and seasonings. It's yummy :)

Now that I miss Penang food, I should book a flight back home! hmmm...

A day in Nakhon Pathom

Nakhon Pathom is about 45 minutes to an hour drive from Bangkok City. It is a charming small little town where the air is fresher, things are cheaper and traffic is lighter. I went to Nakhon Pathom for a one-day trip, went to a nice cozy cafe, some temples and lots of food places.

Phra Pathom Chedi is the famous temple in Nakhon Pathom, it's , I believe, the largest pagoda in Thailand and during my visit, it's under renovation. Didn't go in to the pagoda but manage to walk around and take some pictures. This is the place where I tripped and my camera fell on the floor and my lens broke into pieces :(


As usual, we can find road side foodstalls pretty much every corners in Thailand. This interestingly looking balls string together, certainly is one of the famous Thai food. It's called 'Saikrop Isan' or fermented sausage from the northeast. There are different kind of these sausages, some can be eaten raw and some are grilled. Normally the Thais eat them with chilli, some cabbage and garlic. It's yummy!

I'm always fascinated by the Thai architecture. This palace is opened for public. It has became a park where people jog or spend their evening with family. It was too bad that we couldn't get in to this temple/palace because we went there too late and it has passed the opening hours.

Leelawadee can be found everything in this park. This flowers are so pretty and I especially like the white ones. Spas and hotels use the flowers a lot in Thailand, they normally put the flowers in a big pot of water to make floating flowers.
