Mai พะโลั

What is พะโลั ?

I was on the way to Penang this morning and dad decided we should stop over Kampar for his favourite Char Keow Tiao @ one coffee shop in Kampar that we visited on our last trip.

Unfortunately the Char Keow Tiao no open today. So, we have no choice but gets something else to eat. I turned and saw this พะโลั  on the menu... so i decided to place a order. This is the bowl of so called พะโลั

I snapped a picture and sent a copy to my friend in Thailand and guess what he came back with... "mai (in thai means Not) พะโลั na kub"... Oops~ he said " I think this is Kuay Jubb na kub".

So, i google and found out there is one youtube video teaching on how to make พะโลั

My next trip to Thailand... i must to try พะโลั na kub.

Flower in the meal @ Eat Thai

There was a flora festival when i visited Bangkok early last month (November). My friend bought us to the high end food court at the lower ground of Embassy Central. This food court, EAT THAI has been advertised in many magazine and travel shows which famous for having all the Thai crusine from various part of Thailand. Basically, you can find every single Thai food in this food court from street food until traditional restaurant food...

It happened that when we were there, they have the Flora festival and we gotten the chance to taste the flower in the meal. Yes~ they placed some flower in the meal, one of the Thai delicacy since olden days.

We ordered spring rolls with flowers... Yup, It's various type of flowers... Taste? Taste like flower... Smell nice and sweet.

On eating NOT FRESH Prawn @ Phat Thai Jumbo Prawn, Chatuchak Market, Bangkok

Jumbo Prawn

Jumbo Prawn

The attractive jumbo prawn looks yummy eh~
We cannot judge the book by its cover, this is true for this LOOKS yummy prawn.

The prawn that we order

We were so happy thought that we have nice and yummy jumbo prawn to eat as I got to know this Phat Thai Jumbo Prawn place from Nat Geo People featuring Chatuchak Market. 9 big prawns cost us THB1,500. One cost about RM12 per piece... If it's fresh it still worth the money, unfortunately they served us a plate of  NOT FRESH jumbo prawn... What can we do? Complain?...

When my friend inform them on the NOT Fresh jumbo prawn, they didn't even response... this is really a very disappointed encountered in Thailand. I felt being cheated as they posted an article about they received an award for its best/famous Jumbo Prawn in JJ Market. (wondered how much they pay to get the award?)

This would be the first and the last time to visit Phat Thai @ Chatuchak Market, Bangkok for its Jumbo Prawn...

Now even no need to go to Bangkok, you can taste authentic Bangkok street food in Malaysia... Just need to visit Frame Thai @ Section 17 PJ. Price wise a bit high. When the bill comes the total is RM70 for this table full of food...

Razor Clam @ Don Hoi Lot, Thailand

How to hunt for Razor Clam...



I have been eating razor clam but don't have any idea how it's catch. When i saw the Sawasdee Station showing the Don Hoi Lot... It's so interesting... Maybe i should go to this place on my next visit to Thailand on next year between March to May.

Any of you been to Don Hoi Lot and try this?

Sawadee Kub - Learning Thai Kub

I have been planning to learn Thai since my first trip to Bangkok i.e. few years ago. Until today, i haven't really started my Thai learning class. This is because i was tight up with weekend getaway and MBA courses.

Two weeks ago, I was in KLIA2 and passed by a bookstore which i saw Lonely Planet Language pocket book... It has drawn my attention...

The book has a good explanation of the Thai language and the grammar of Thai language. It's interesting that the grammar formation is totally different from English. While learning the grammar of Thai language, i could understand why some Thai people speaking broken English, because they did the direct translation from English. So in another words, i'm speaking broken Thai :p

Anyway, with the helping of the technology, my Thai friend and I are using Whatsapp to communication and he is teaching me Thai language via whatsapping... So, I'm not sure how fast i can learn? but i'm still not able to speak as i don't pronounce it. But At least i learn some basic way of communicate with the local >.<

Anyone know what is this means?
