Escapade: The Final Installment:-The road to being Fat
Wow..here we are.. the final installment is finally here..whooopeeee!
The road to being fat started off with water shortage problem,aka the watergate incident.However, if you mix “business” with pleasure,any incident would hardly defeat a good seat and a lovely movie.
B y now it is pretty apparent that i am heading towards the land of a thousand smiles,Bangkok.. Besides the wonderful sights and sounds, one has to kowtow to the Thai food and shopping culture .On this trip, i got fat..well, pleasantly plump around the waist and of course,developed a power puffed cheeks.. All the food! Glorious Food! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! I have died and gone to heaven! How can one maintain a diet while on a holiday, especially in the heavenly Thai kingdom, where even roadside stalls titilates your taste buds and escalate you to heights you could never imagine..very much close to orgasm..and my oh my, many times over… So let’s see what got into my tummy and how i loved/loathed it….
My very first lunch in Bangkok which consist of a plate of healthy “Som Tum”,which is papaya salad and a delectable bowl of Pork noodles,done in the same fashion like beef noodles in singapore. I think the best som tum is from ‘Ortokor” market right across chak tuk chak…and i think ortokor market is absolutely amazing.However, since this time i did not manage to stay for the weekend, som tum anywhere would do….
Chicken Rice…some say that only in Singapore that you find the most amazing Chicken rice..however, i beg to differ.. This chicken rice stall sits in a cramped up little spot just in front of Burger King along Silom road (Saladeang)only after ten pm in the evenings. This is my staple food in BKK(bangkok)..I wouldn’t feel that i am really in bkk if i did not have my usual two servings of this chicken rice..why two you might question..simple..first of all it is too delicious to be true, secondly,the servings are pretty small and most importantly,好事成双!!! I might be biased though,as i have patronised this stall for many years and they have never ever let me down..You can choose to have it uncuthmm,i mean ..with the skin or without the skin..hmm..anyway, the chilli ..aroy MAK!!!!
Gorging away..heaven by the roadside….
On this trip i discovered another delicious stall that i would now add to my list of food that i die die have to eat while i am in BKK. Just along the same stretch of road, barely three metres away, is a “Kway Chup” stall that’s been there for donkey years whose presence has never been acknowledged by yours sincerely by however, this trip i am feeling rather porky and after whooping down two plates of chicken rice, i decided to have a bowl of kway chup and it ended up looking like this:
Unbelievable!!! i have actually denied myself this wonderful mixture of pig intestines swimming in a hot pool of peppery soup,occasionally dipping into a red sea of lemony chilli…. To make up for this mistake, i hereby dedicate the following pictures to the owner of the fabulous stall…
to be continued……..

whats your weight ? OMG

the next time you come to BKK you should try the som tam at this shop called “raan som tam nua” (literally means the shop of papaya salad). It is opposite Siam Paragon in one of the alleys and the som tam sold there aroy mak mak. Have to be patient though, you might have to wait up till half an hour to eat in that restuarant =)

Hi Bryan
Im going to bangkok for a short break on the coming dec… was actually looking ard for a good and ‘clean’ place for massage..ha.. well glad that i got a very gd info from your site…esp for the Health Land Spa and massage. I will check it out soon…
Quotes from you : “This chicken rice stall sits in a cramped up little spot just in front of Burger King along Silom road (Saladeang)only after ten pm in the evenings. ” Do you mean the food stalls are only open after 10pm?
Seems like you were having a great trip

Cheers
