Eternity Friends

In high schools, we formed a group. And we named it.

Yeah, what was we thinking? So lame. LOLS

Not mistaken, it's even my idea to named us. *embarrassed*

Drama Babes

That's our group.

We are so into together till we literally can't split up even the school split us up into different classes. 

When recess time and after school time, we ended up together just like we always used to.

1st, there's Angeline, Janice, Leng and Teng. Teng ended up shifting to another school.

Then, there's Hui Sien, Poh Yee and lastly Michelle. 

I don think I would stayed at that high school if I didn't met them.

 They bring rainbows into my teenage life. 

My lil fairies.

It's been 9 years of friendship.

We will be together for eternity.

They are my soul mates, sisters and guardian angels.

Here by,

I wish Happy Birthday to my Erin. Ps : She's single so I claimed her. 

Sorry that I couldn't be around when you blow your candles.

22 now and yet still single. So my only wish that you would meet someone special soon.

And always talk to me when you occur any problems like I always do to you.

I'm here for you, well all of us are. 

Have a happy 22 year!

Roast, Bangkok

Cafes is a trend now. 

I don like coffee, cause they upset my stomach. I don know why.

Since I'm at Bangkok and there's plenty of cafes to choose.

Roast cafe it is. 

Roast, 

SeenSpace Thonglor 13.

It's a modern homey environment. 

We arrived there around 10 am and it's packed. There's a line to queue = popular place, so I guess we didn't choose the wrong place. 

There's seats for you while waiting.

Surprisingly there's more foreigners than Thai. There's Koreans, Japaneses and perhaps Britishers or Americans. 

Coffee freaks, here comes their coffee menu. 

I don know about coffee at all, sooooo....

No opinion on this.

 Dessert's anyone?

I was upset cause I couldn't order desserts, it's breakfast at that moment. 

Sad. Surely, I would come back again for it next time.

Starters and main courses.

From soups, salads, sandwiches, pies to burgers and etc.

Go and see for yourself, I can't really get everything in my mind.

There's a quote outside of the cafe.

It's pretty true what it states, but only 2 out of 10 people could do it.

Pretty amazing interior! I could imagine sitting all day at there, chit chatting with my girlfriends.

Just too welcoming.

Beverages?

Green Tea Float

Float for breakfast? Too much I know, but look how attempting it is.

Since there's no desserts for me. I choose float over chocolate or juices.

Magic

That's what they called it. MAGIC. *Magic, magic, magic, I got the magic in me* B.O.B's Magic just pop in my head 

I don know how magically it is but judging my sister expression, it a good one.

Tomato soup

Who doesn't love tomato soup? Well seasoned, tastes really good with their croutons.

I swear if there's no one at there, I would lick that bowl. LOL

That's how good it is.

Pulled Pork Burger

If you like your burgers without a patty, this you should go for.

But there's a pretty strong bbq sauce taste. So....

Very fulling.

Classic Egg Benedict

Never liked eggs, but this is fine for me.

Poached egg cooked perfectly.

Nice to see even taste nicer when eat.

 

Croque Monsieur

Calling a cheese lovers. 

This is awesomely cheesy.

One bite and that's it, you are in a curse.

My sleepy face.

Who would wake up at 8 am in a vacation?

That's it. I'm done here.

Please do visit Roast when you are at Bangkok.

Tawandang German Brewery, Bangkok

We landed Bangkok from Saigon at night.

Due to the protests, the traffic at Bangkok it's horrible, worst traffic I ever go through. Road blocks everywhere. Unlucky us, the taxi driver which is a woman, perhaps she's a new cabbie too was struggling to find a way to our hotel.

Finally after about two hours, we finally make it to the opposite main street of our hotel. The main street to our hotel was blocked so we got to walk to our hotel with our luggage.

Which was kind of scary with the protestant's guards at there with their "serious" face. I'm so afraid of something violent would happen.

Thank God we made it to our hotel.

Some of my friends said I look like my sister.

Do I？

Tawandang German Brewery, Bangkok

On the next night, my dad brought us to here.

Yes, German cuisine in Bangkok.

This was my second time at here, the 1st time I sat right infront of the stage which was kind of annoying because of the speakers. Hard to communicate with others.

Somehow, it's very famous in Bangkok. Always packed with customers, foreigns and locals.

German?

Pork Knuckle of course.

The knuckle was marinated perfectly, juicy and the meat was so tender.

Got to eat with their mashes, best mashes I ever had.

Was having a really hard time stopping myself.

 

German Pork Knuckle


Opps, sorry I couldn't remember what's these two (above and below) called in the menu. 

Not mistaken this must be some sort of fried poultry. Perhaps chicken or quail. 

Spicy Thai Papaya Salad

My least favourite one, it's too spicy for me. I could not take it at all. 

German Sausages

German sausage is a must when having German cuisine! Just so tasty and juicy!

 Deep Fried Sea Bass

A must must must to order！

 I'm so in love with fishes now. Whether it's steamed or fried.

Which is kind of great, I finally could let go my obsession with meats.

Awesome light and refreshing beer. 

German always have the best beer in taste and texture.

They would never go wrong.

Does my lil bro looked like under 21 years old? I'm certainly I look younger than him. 

If you are planning to stay at Tawandang after 10.30 pm, make sure to bring passport along. 

To prove you are not underage, just incase.

Under 21 years old are not allow to stay after dinner time.

My family

We had fun at Tawandang, mostly laughing at my bro who is trying to sing in Thai.

Environment was there, crowded with fun and joy.

Not to forget! They have dress code, no sleeveless for boys or slippers allow. 

Saigon, Vietnam 3

On the next night, we went to Cuc Gach Quan again. Since Vietnamese also celebrate Chinese New Year, there are many shops and restaurants are not open. Lesson learnt, don go to Vietnam during Chinese New Year. 

I don mind eating at Cuc Gach Quan everyday, their food are really really tasty.

 Courgette flower

I just only learn about this, courgette are basically eggplant. Just a different phrase, so there are courgette, eggplant and brinjal, what's more?

 Fried fish

Yes, they are really named as "fried fish" only in their menu. Sorry, I couldn't remember what type of fish are those. 

 Stewed prawns with starfruits.

The prawns taste really good with starfruits. It's spicy and sour. Got to try this!

What's more in Saigon? 

Well, you couldn't miss the Notre Dame Catheral at the city. It's really beautiful, inside and out. Sadly they just let tourists to visit the front part of the church only, they only lets people in for praying.

I was about to buy a really beautiful rosary from the church. A pink pearl rosary, unfortunately I'm short of cash and they are closing within 10 mins that time. It was my last day at Vietnam. Well, I believe I will meet my "fated" rosary one day.

Ciao Bella, Saigon

Italian food in Saigon anyone?

Their pizza dough is absolutely not too thin and crunchy. The best pizza dough I ever had, better than La Risata, Papa John and etc. On the other side, their spaghetti are not that great like their pizzas though.
Carbonara tasted like a literally cream with spaghetti which is kind of awful.

Ciao Bella pizza, Carbonara and ...

Affordable, they have set lunch which includes three courses.
Homey environment, servers not that friendly and greatest pizza I ever had!
Ciao!
That's all for Saigon! Bangkok will be coming up next!

Saigon, Vietnam 2

La Creperie, Saigon

La Creperie is a Brittany (A region of France) restaurant from France, there are plenty authentic savoury and sweet dishes to choose from their menu. Savoury crepes are called La Galletes. Their prices would not disappoint you, very affordable.

In the Vietnam, there is still alot of leftover aspects that had been influence by the French colonial. Architectures, languages and of course foods. Therefore, there is La Creperie. Some of the crepes are even fusion of Vietnamese and French culinary. 

Basically, their theme is maritime as you can see the lighthouse, blue and white strips and their decos. Their interior design makes you feel like you are dining in a boat. Really nice concept they have here. This is my very first time having savoury crepes, for my entire life I only known about dessert crepes. 

My lil bro and elder one

La Gallete with salmon and egg with cream and cheese. 

Made with good and fresh quality ingredients. It's filling because of the cream and cheese yet it's tasty too. A good pick for the ones who have bigger appetite. 

I'm so sorry I really couldn't remember what is this. My lil bro ordered this so I didn't pay any attention to it. There are rye, salmon, cheese and ... in it. First impression : What the hell is this. After having a first bite : Woah, that is different. I could describe how it really taste like. There's no rice or risotto, just amazing the way it is.

La Galette with ....

Not mine, so again lack of attention. This was my less favorite one, maybe it's particularly there's a fried egg. The ones who know me well, I dislikes eggs alot especially fried ones. Weird I know.

The atmosphere and foods is awesome, and great attentive servers. A nice place to chill out away from the busy city.
Now I feel so regret for not trying their desserts. :( How could I?

Visit here when you are at Saigon, you will not regret about it.
