Greyhound Cafe in Bangkok

We have been to this cafe a few times previously and have always enjoyed their fusion pasta and other dishes.  Their desserts are also very good.

From what I know, the main outlet in Soi Thonglor off Sukhumvit Road. It is located just off Soi Thonglor 15.  They have another outlet inside Central Childlom.




I always like the witty messages on the servers T shirt. 


They had some new drinks which included granita....flavored crush ice. In this case black coffee. I forgot what's called. 


For appetizers, we had Vietnamese rolls, 
fried chicken wings and baked spinach with pork sausage.





We also ordered a pomelo salad as well as a rice with fish and Thai chilli paste which was then Greyhound style. The Thai version is namprik pla to.



Although we ordered 2 pastas, they only served one and did not pursue the others as we were getting full. The one that came was spaghetti with chilly and salted fish. 


For dessert, we ordered a Red Ruby Grey Hound style (with coconut water), a Banoffee in jar and Chocolate cake with sea salt. 




We were really full by then. A good dinner for 4 of us.

Until the next time, cheers. 

Hua Seng Hong Restaurant, a chain of Thai Chinese restaurants in Bamgkok

This is an old Thai Chinese restaurant that have developed into a chain with quite a few branches in Bangkok, mostly in shopping malls. 

There is a branch in Bangna where we live and we sometimes eat there. On a lazy Sunday afternoon, we had our lunch there. 



We ordered their fish maw soup which in addition to their shark fin soup are popular here. 


We also ordered fried bitter gourd leaves and shoots. This is not common in Malaysia. 


We also ordered a pork stew rice and pork lakna, a flat noodle in gravy. 



The food here is just ok for me and others say the cook at their main restaurant on Sukhumvit Road is much better. 

Anyhow, it's one's taste. 

Until the next time, cheers. 

Choconana at Chatujak Market Bangkok


This is a favorite of my family when we are at the Chatujak market in Bangkok. 

The sign says that the products are patented worldwide. I am unsure whether it's true or just to scare people off. 





The banana is frozen before your choice of toppings are added. Alternatively there are also ice cream of various flavor including durian. 

A yummy treat on a hot hot day. 

Until the next time, cheers.
