What did you do today, or what are you gonna be doing today? Well it’s 11:17PM here so I can summarize my day in a few words: made.a.giant.pot.of.spaghetti.bolognese.sauce.

Bangkok #2

On our second last day in Bangkok, we ate too much for lunch at Greyhound Cafe. The cafe came highly recommended by Stephie with specific dishes to try, so we did just that.

Butter tastes weird in Bangkok, something I noticed when eating my rolls

I had this dish called Complicated Noodles, basically I had to put my meal together

A very powerful and spicy, erm, sauce. I couldn’t figure out for the life of me what was in it – parsley, garlic, lime?

This is the meat sauce which was urghhh-sooo-good

So this was how I ate it at first but really, I ended up using all ten fingers towards the end of the meal.

I don’t have photos of the other stuff we stuffed our faces with but I’ll list them down here if anyone wants to know. Chicken wings, clam and mussel soup, miso salmon, chinese plum float and the carbonara’s supposedly good too but we didn’t try that. And, Greyhound Cafe is on the first floor of Siam Centre.

On the last day, we killed some time by visiting the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre. It’s right in the shopping district so it’s a nice respite if you’ve had enough of malls.

I’m beginning to realise the documentation is a bit fragmented because some photos are shot on digital and some on film. So I’m opting to share them separately instead of mixing them up. I haven’t decided which works better.

Bangkok #1

We didn’t do much there, also because there wasn’t much for us to do. We walked a lot. Noticed how new modern buildings sprout out between slummy heavily-vandalized broken buildings. Saw a string of bright pink taxis coincidentally caught in a traffic jam at one point. Took long baths. Watched a lot of Fox News in the hotel?!? Quietly honestly, I was simply happy to wake up by myself, for myself and not by our cats.

In the last two photos, we were at a bar where the live band played serious heavy metal. Lamb of God, Iron Maiden. I’ve never seen a grown man shout so much and so loud before, it was something to remember.
