Summer Palace, InterContinental Hotel BKK

When I look back to the food we took at this place, it's interesting to see a roasted suckling pig together with dim sum. Thanks for my friends having such a thoughtful meal on such a happy occasion. Mood over the food indeed. I even forgot how the food was.

Chu cafe, True Fitness Tower, Asoke BKK

TC recent post reminded me of the time I visited here. I didn't take it on purpose, but the 2 staff in the counter were working busy with their phones most of the time. Then take a look at photo 2. The left one is their so-called "xxx" dark choco. The right one is iced mocha. The front is hot mocha. Nothing wrong with my camera. This is the true color of these drinks. So the taste is "milk" and "sugar" with about 10% of chocolate and coffee flavour.

Nan Xiang Siu Lon Bao shop, Causeway Bay HK

Couldn't visit the original shop in Yue Yuan in Shanghai. So I came back their HK branch and I got more than its renowned siu lon bao, and they are:

1. drunken chicken. 2. drunken pig's knuckle. 3. fish filet in vinegar soup. 4. spare ribs in plum sauce (*this is the Chinese preserved salty sweet plums.). 5. spinach in fish soup. 6. Tan Tan noodle. 7. deep fried pork chop. 8. stewed meat balls (lion head). 9. siu lon bao. 10. steamed veggie bun. 11. mini dumplings in rice wine sweet. 12. pancake with red bean paste.

All are very nice, esp. the drunken dishes, the soup, the pork chop and the spare ribs in plum sauce, and most of all, their must-try siu lon bao. This branch has even further improved with their other Shanghai dishes, as compared to my visit of 1.5 years ago. Very impressive.

花園餐廳, back in time with Fa Yuen Restaurant

This restaurant has been almost 50 years old. Remember the black pepper steak on the hot sizzling plate (photo 3)?

Shadow yoga, at Aleenta Phang Nga, Phuket

Thanks my friends for all the below difficult posing. Note they were on a narrow slippery curd with water.

MO Deli shop, Siam Paragon BKK

Supposed to come here for a drink, but the highlight menu shows a lovely cold cut platter with baguette at THB250++. No matter how full I was, I immediately ordered one. The cold cut is very aromatic and not that salty. The baguette is of course very fresh and crispy. Check photo 1. It's the lemon tart with some raspberry sauce (see that mini tube. You just inject it into the filling. So the lemon custard with a fresh flow of raspberry sauce. So zesty! Highly recommended. *remarks: only visit this deli shop or the one at Emporium, service and food wise. Better stay away from L'espace on the M floor.

Bio House Suk 39 BKK

Came to the house gym of this condo, and in the meantime I wanna try the swimming pool (as the pool of Plaza Athenee is pretty disappointing). This pool and the condo. remind me of the pool of PST City Home in some way - very board view with lots of sunshine. However, the pool is a bit too organic with some algae on the tiles, really entitled from the name of this condo. "Bio" House. Good to know more about the different managements' work of some BKK condos.

Paul Frank at Central World BKK

This monkey is getting another revival not only in HK, but also BKK.
