*Brushes cobwebs off my blog* This is a long overdue post!

We celebrated Father's Day over Sunday Brunch at M Hotel. They were playing latin song throughout! I like! The service was prompt as they cleared our used plates very quickly. But I will say the food tastes only average. I barely took any photos this time. And this is one of the few photos that I took. Yeah, cakes again. The family loves cakes!

A stroll along Arab Street

I enjoy strolling leisurely and exploring new places with my chum-chums. This photo was taken from a building. I like the difference in its perspective.

Epicure

Out of curiosity, I submitted this photo to Epicure - Food Hunting May's gallery.

I had the cod fish soup at Silk road Restaurant (@ Amara Hotel) a few months ago. They use a generous serving of fresh fish slices, complemented with greens. This is a very refreshing dish.

Fried Carrot Cake STICKS

Few days ago, I had breakfast with my family at Whampoa Market. Grandmother went to buy this for us. All of a sudden, it just dawned on me - I used to eat this fried carrot cake sticks when I was a child!  

It is soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. I love the crispy parts to bits and secretly wish that the perimeters have more crispy bits!

Tip to enjoy the food: ignore the oil that is seeping through the paper bag!

What happened to you, Bangkok?

It has been more than two months since I returned from Bangkok but the protest is still not over.

When I watched the news today, I got a shock. The Reds had set buildings on fire, including the Central Bank, some local media companies and the Central World Mall. Even my favorite shopping mall, Siam Paragon was not spared either.

Bangkok holds fond memories for me - my first overseas trip with the school and my first overseas trip with my colleagues. Bangkok is also one of my favorite destinations for a weekend getaway. I actually had made plans to visit Bangkok in this July. I had to give the Wat Arun a miss during the last trip as my colleague in Thailand had strongly advised me not to go near the Chao Phraya River because the protesters were travelling along this river to Bangkok.

Bangkok is the Land of Smiles; when has it become the Land for Battleground?
