Food & Drinks

Some of the foods we ordered, super messy, just how I like it.

Mmmm, definitely one of my favourites. The price ain’t too bad, I think it was 130 baht for one of these.

They are really famous for their pork buns filled with bbq fillings, so nice and crispy. One important thing to mention is that one order has 3 of them. From the picture you might think it’s just one, and so many people ordered 10 plates, thinking they would get 10 buns. At least they got cool photos out of it…ahh.

It might look like we are obsessed with dim sum, but Tim Ho Wan had it’s opening at Terminal 21 yesterday, so we just had to go.

I do have to admit we have been waiting for this for since we heard the news so we were really excited. For those of you that don’t know Tim Ho Wan is the world’s cheapest Michelin-starred restaurant specializing in Dim Sum. 

We were having a meeting at 13.30 and ended up making them meet us in the queue to lunch and talk there as we ended up queuing up for 90 minutes. I love how Thai people line up for everything that is popular in Asia, I mean Hot Star chicken still has a long line and the food is rather bland.

We ordered pretty much everything on the menu and ended up eating until we exploded. It was our first “unhealthy” meal as we have been dieting throughout the week. So we were feeling quite full.

I think the food was good but nothing special that I would think it would be worth queuing up for on a regular basis.  It is worth trying out, and it’s fun to have eaten there as people are making such a big fuzz about it but I don’t think I will be going again. I wonder if will maintain its popularity…or if it’s just for the opening days.

If you do get anything on the menu though, their bbq pork buns were really nice and crispy with a soft and sweet inside.  The shrimp dumplings were pretty good too, same goes to the vermicelli rolls with sesame. I do miss the crunchy garlic to dip it in though, but I guess you only get that at cheap and simple dim sum places. Which is what I love… hihi.

The rest of the day we chilled at Casa Azul watching football and eating the best  mexican food in Bangkok and packing as much candy down our throats as we could. It’s awesome having a day where you can eat whatever you want.

Have you tried Tim Ho Wan yet?

Selfies are always fun with my babes, what a hunk… hihi

I know… this photo is the worst, I got to excited and had a bite already but there will be a better one once we upload from the camera. Tom has got me hooked on rice krispies!!

Me and Lotta ended up having their lunch set with was fish and chips and prawn caesar salad. I only snapped a photo of our main, see what I mean about huge portions?

Went to Emquartier today to have a little lunch meeting with Lotta and Vishal. We decided to have some fish and chips at Jones & Mowlem again since they hadn’t tried it yet. Vishal ended up with pasta, and Tom on his low carb regimen ended up with a salmon salad, and me and Lotta fish & Chips. Everyone was happy with their food, it’s quite nice… though… the fish and chips is way to big for one person. I know… we shouldn’t complain.

Being as sweet toothed as we are… or at least I am… we had to get ice cream at Emac & Bolios. I got a rice crispy cone with cake batter ice cream, it was super yummy. I’ve been wanting to try this flavour and cone since the first time I saw it and it was just as tasteful as it looks.

After we finished our ice creams, we decided to go for more treats at Yoo Moo, my most fave frozen yoghurt place in Thailand so far. I am a little annoyed we don’t get to switch around on the ice creams on their menu, but whatever. I guess you’ve got to make your own one then. I always end up picking the kick-starter but would love more berries on it.

We then went to the garden to take some photos but since we haven’t uploaded them on the computer this iPhone pics will have to do.

Also got lots of things to bring home to Norway. It’s going to be so good to go back for a little while, I haven’t had a long holiday for ages… uhm… well, I’m only going for a week, but still going to be a nice quiet break from Bangkok. I haven’t seen most of my fam and friends since January this year so it’s about time. I’ll be leaving on Monday with British Airways as pretty much every airline was fully booked. I’ve never travelled with them before, so don’t know quite what to expect. People are travelling like crazy to or through Scandinavia right now and tickets prices are sky-high. I guess that’s what I get for leaving it last-minute.  Anyways, if anyone of my reader will be on the plane leaving Bangkok 11.30 let me know. 🙂

Rest of the day I’m locking myself in to read for my exams on Wednesday.

What are your plans on this saturday night?
