    Dining at Bunker

    28/10/2016

    There’s so many new restaurants opening in Bangkok and so little time on hand. We’re always talking about trying out all the new places around town but often just end up at the same old favorite places or new places around our area. If you live in Bangkok you know how anticlimactic the traffic is… Sathorn and Silom is one of the hippest areas in town for cocktails and food, so during our little staycation at the SO Sofitel we made sure to try out some of the treasures in that Area.

    The first day we went for some nibbles at Bunker. I was full after our meal but the reason I say nibbles is that Bangkok Magazine mentioned that you had to spend around 6000 on a dinner for two. We spent around 2500 and Tom even enjoyed one of their cocktails in that price. Their cocktail menu is exciting and the prices are relatively low. I kind of regret not having a cocktail but I was going straight for the Mojito Monday and SO Sofitel’s MIXO bar so I had to save the calories, more about that later. Tom had an Old Fashioned cocktail as usual and said it was the best one he’s had so far!

    I like the vibe of Bunker, it’s all set in a concrete building. The lights are dimmed with modern industrial decor. I loved the turquoise chairs and the marble-like tables. We went there on a Monday around 6 pm and the place was already full by 7. It’s surely is a trendy place to be seen.
    The food was simple, fresh and not least delicious. The flavors are different, some- you will have to guess your way to if you didn’t memorize the menu. We went for one starter, one small pasta and one main dish, the portions are great for sharing.

    Gloomy Bangkok and lunching at Chu

    breakfast eggs benedict and bacon from chu bangkok

    I normally go for the panini but it has become a habit to start off my day with eggs these days.

    Been eating quite much this past week. Not too much on the unhealthy side, but definitely too much. I think it’s all been a mixture of people visiting, people leaving, and just catching up with friends again after coming home from the race and travelling. I feel like I’ve been out on lunches followed by dinners pretty much every day recently. I’m not complaining, but I might have to start rescheduling for gym meetups instead. I did start the gym again this week though, so hopefully it all evens out. I desperately need to get back in shape again. I haven’t been training properly for months. My squat is now lower than my bodyweight!! It’s time for some consistency – and clear goals in the gym again!

    Today we went for lunch at one of my favourite (almost next door) lunch spot, Chu Chocolate bar and café. The food is tasty, has a nice presentation and the price is reasonable. You can even find them on Eatigo and get a 10%-50% discount depending on when you visit.

    Where to find the best Pad Thai in the world

    23/09/2016

    I’ve never had to line up for Pad Thai anywhere else in Thailand, though it seems to be the norm  at Thipsamai. The queue is quite long, but people normally finishes their food in 15 minutes, so don’t freak out and run away. I think the longest I’ve waited is around 30 minutes. I would avoid going during day time, as the outside area where you line up is the kitchen, meaning you will get added heat from the cooking.

    Delicious Pad Thai Gong covered in egg. Did I mention they have the best orange juice in Thailand as well?

    It’s quite addictive to see them flip the pad thai and egg on repeat, they are so fast! I think that Pad Thai is pretty delicious no matter what, but this place has the little extra and some more making it worth the visit. And who can say no to eating at the place that has been awarded the best Pad Thai in the world?

    We decided to go lunching around our neighbourhood yesterday as there are so many places we haven’t tried yet.  Also, picking a dining spot around the area means you can walk meaning hatching more eggs and catching more Pokémon! Our choice fell on Bistro M at The Mariott in soi 24. We had the tuna and avocado tartare, caesar salad, tenderloin steak with Thai spicy herbs and the buffalo wings with blue cheese dip which were all delicious. The only sad thing is the presentation so I couldn’t get any good photos of the food. They also have some selection of fresh smoothies, the mango shake was amazing!

    Now I’m off to the mall to get some stuff for Norway tomorrow. Hopefully we can squeeze in some cinema time tonight aswell…

    Explore Bangkok as a local

    There’s so many things to do around Bangkok and you’ll never have a hard time finding a good list of what to do while visiting. But I feel like the list has never been updated and that there is too many places and things on repeat. So in this interview I’ve tried to mention some of the more hidden gems, and some places (like JJ Market) that are totally mainstream but has to be experienced! Try visiting at least 3 of this places and you’ll get a feeling of how it is to be a local in Bangkok, pretty amazing!

    Have you been to any of these places?

    Afternoon tea at the Sheraton

    16/06/2016

    Thailand was the first place I encountered afternoon tea and I’ve been a sucker for it since. My first time will always have a special place in my heart and I’m so glad I went there because it made the best first impression ever. The place I’m talking about is obviously the high tea at Dhara Dhevi in Chiang Mai. There will never be anything quite like it. Who doesn’t love soft but crunchy macarons and green tea infused with tropical flavours…girl_afternoon_tea_pranburi_sheraton

    While visiting Pranburi last weekend we thought we should try out something other than the usual meaning Evason, Lay Cafe and OX seafood. It didn’t take long before we got set on the idea of afternoon tea. There were posters along the roads advertising afternoon tea at the five star hotels so it was hard to get rid of the idea. We quickly decided to go for Sheraton’s and we weren’t disappointed. Their decor is on point and there are nice seatings both inside and outside. We wanted to chill upstairs on the terrace but the weather was just too hot. I love how it was inspired by Thailand and the price was even lower than we had expected. The staff were just amazing too. If you’re ever in the area you should definitely sit down and try it out.

     

    Doesn’t it look yummy?
