    Best burger in Bangkok?

    Agh, doesn’t that look juicy… 😉

    While picking my beef and veggies made in the slow cooker at home for lunch today Tom sent me an awesome snap of his lunch containing delicious salad, salmon, coconuts and rice and chicken. I was drooling by looking at it and got even more excited when he made me promise we’d go for burgers at New York Steak & Burger in soi 22 after work. I was going crazy and felt like I finally had something to look forward to and decided to skip my oats and save up calories for some delicious burger (yes, I’m trying to diet for a while). I feel like I’m making Tom sound like a crazy eater but he had just finished a crazy leg day and whatever meals he ingested today was well deserved. I was kind of scared Tom was just talking out of hunger after workout so I made sure he didn’t forget throughout the day.

     

    When we got there we ordered the only two spicy options they have “The Atomic” and “The Firehouse Chilli” as we usually do. We chose fries as a side for one and salad on the other, as one side serving of fries is enough for two persons IMO. Anyways… over to the burger.. We always get ours medium rare, so it’s very important they get this part right. There’s nothing worse than places that grills your meat too long. This place though, OMG, the meat is so soft and the amount of bread, cheese and other fillings is just right. It’s not too full to be able to eat it with both your hands and not wet and falls apart either.

     

    This is definitely one of my favourite burger places in Bangkok, and I can’t wait til we move back to soi 22 and get to eat there more often. The price might be a bit high compared to other good burger places like Daniel Thaiger and Fatty’s, but in return you do get higher quality ingredients. I’m still not sure if they beat Chef bar though.

    Been craving thick heels with angle straps for ages. I have found a few here but EVERY SINGLE TIME they’re out of my size. It so hard finding shoes here in Bangkok, especially when you’re a 38.5, cus 38 tends so be small here and 39 is always out!! Ah, I love love these.

    I love wearing blazers with short crop tops so this time I paired it with a laidback printed one, as it was a chill night out.

    I’ve been searching forever to find a white blazer in my size and my length. Even in Europe that’s a problem. Small sizes always sells out and if they do have small sizes it’s only the short ones. I do like short jackets too, but I always liked longer and slimmer fits for blazers. This one I found at H&M at EmQuartier. If you’re like me and like a  slimmer fit, go down one size, as the waist was a little big. I got mine in 32, and there’s still room to grow in it.

    I’m obsessed with skirts, and I want them all textures colours and shapes possible. If you take the BTS to Chong-Nonsi and walk to Virgin active, you will see a couple of “street vendors” displaying their clothes along the floors. Some nights I see this couple selling skirts there. I always try to grab a new one every time I come across them, as they always change their styles, and the prices are only 150-180 baht. Also, their one size sizing fits so well.

    Everyone need at least one pair of thick ankle strap heels, I’ve been looking for these for ages. Every time I’ve come across them here in Bangkok they’re always out of my size, so annoying. I really want a pair in black, but I guess I have to wait until next month and get some in London or New York. I found these ones at Mango in Silom. I have to say though- these ones  get uncomfortable pretty fast, which kind of defeats the purpose of getting thick heels.

    White lace and floral prints

    Tips: Every girl need white lace and floral prints for this summer. It’s a must. You can get it up at any market around Bangkok, or pretty much find it in any mall; if you’re up for spending the extra money. I’ve been looking long and hard for floral print shoes so when I saw these at WearYouWant I just had to get them. There’s also free shipping over 390 baht, AND you get a 200 baht discount if you sign up for the newsletter.

    I am stoked!! Summer is right around the corner. I know it might not be the same living in Thailand, seeing we have the sun and hot weather all year around, but being Norwegian Anita as well, I am feeling the vibes.

    If you know anyone from Norway, you know how exited we are about summer. It’s the three months of the year we have with amazing weather, midnight sun and finally the layers of clothes can be tucked away in the closet. It’s the times when we pretty much barbeque and go hiking in the mountains or visit the cabin EVERY DAY.(I come from a small town) It’s so ridiculously amazing and people can’t wipe that smile of their face during this time.  I know I’m not in Norway now to experience it… but always… wherever I am during this time of the year I just can’t help waking up happy.

    Even though we haven’t planned our dates to go back for summer, I already feel like I CAN’T WAIT. We’ve both been pretty busy lately and the longest holidays we’ve had is a long weekend… this summer, or late summer, Norway, Spain and New York is on the list of places to be visited.

    My closet favourites

    This outfit pretty much rounds up my favourite things to wear, crop tops and whatever high-waisted thing there is. Shorts, skirts- you name it!

    I love how it perfectly shapes the body and the way it hugs the curves. It doesn’t matter if this fashion will go out or not, I refuse to give it away until the day, well… the day I’m too old to be wearing stuff like this. Hehe. So lucky to be living in Thailand where the weather actually allows me to walk around like this. In Norway there’s max 3 months of the year I can wear summer layers like this.

    Last but not the least, I would like to congratulate Norway with its birthday.

    Today it is 201 years since the Constitution of Norway was signed on Eidsvoll. For those of you that don’t know; the constitution declared Norway to be an independent kingdom. The 17th of May is huuuge in Norway, everyone dressed in their national dresses “bunad”, playing games and eating ice cream and hot dogs. I must say the 17th of May committee in Bangkok has done a great job making the same atmosphere as back home in Norway. So sad I couldn’t join this year- but at the same time so happy to get outta town. HIPP HIPP HURRA!! <3

     

    Anyone of my readers watch the parade or join the activities in the ambassadors garden?

    It’s been a month since we came back from Norway.  It feels so good to be able to wear short and comfy clothes again and most of all, to actually have days with sunlight. I love Norway, but I honestly don’t think I can survive there for more than a couple of months max when it’s not summer.  I know I often say this, but gosh, it’s been months! Since I last wrote here we’ve moved, gone trekking in Nepal, travelled around Norway, hehe, to make it short, so many things has happened. I will become better at sharing our travel pics and experiences with you guys, because I know just how useful it can be at times. Bagan and Nepal will be up soon.

    But for now, I’m off to the gym, see you guys later <3

    Hey lovelies

    Today’s been pretty chill, just reading up on metabolic regulation and baked in the sun. I love days like this. Haven’t rained at all today! Soon we’re off to terminal to find the rest of our Halloween outfit. I know… talk about doing it last minute. (We tried platinum, palladium and the costume shop on Petchaburi soi 18 earlier, they have limited selection and a couple of good costumes for rent) Hopefully we’ll find what we’re looking for. After that we’re off to one of favourite burger places in Bangkok. There’s limited seating so shhhh, don’t tell anyone about it. Hehe.

    Oh and for BKK people  who don’t know where to go tomorrow, we’ll be here. 

    Who are you going to be on halloween? x

     

    I’ve had some requests about our most recent trip to Bagan.  I’ll finish up the post soon, but for now you’ll just have to do with my instagram pics, and Tom’s blog, he did a great write-up about the trip.
