Bangkok 2018 Part 2 - May's Garden House Restaurant

I first found out about May's Garden House Restaurant from TripCanvas Thailand. As a Studio Ghibli fan, of course I had to go and check this cute little place out. We took a taxi from Chatuchak Weekend Market straight to Sukhumvit area. When we arrived, we took pictures with the signage. The restaurant was full but we were lucky that a table was almost done and they could accommodate us. We just had to wait a little bit. Some people who arrived after us were turned down. I would recommend making reservations if you want to eat there. I heard that they accept reservations via Facebook.

I immediately noticed that there were many Japanese people in the restaurant. I almost forgot that we were in Bangkok!




















The restaurant has a small garden area and in the building they had a big Totoro plush on display. The whole place were decorated with Ghibli paraphernalia and they also played music from the movies. On the dining table they had Totoro tablewares set up.

The food they served were normal Thai food, and not really decorated in Totoro theme. They were delicious, though. They had very cute desserts, this one below was mango cheesecake. Yummy! Prices were a bit high but it was expected from any character restaurants.








We left the restaurant after lunch and walked to EmQuartier. On the way we passed this plant that looked like pineapples but it was the size of a cherry. I've never seen it before!


In Sukhumvit area I came across many foreigners, particularly Japanese people. I think that this was where they gathered. The EmQuartier mall was full of Japanese restaurants and cafes. 

While my sister walked around the shopping mall, I stayed in the outdoor area to enjoy ice cream and some snacks. I tried ordering Hoegaarden but apparently there is a law in Thailand that you can't buy alcoholic beverages between 2 pm and 5 pm!










So that was our afternoon in Sukhumvit area! Please stay tuned for more!

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Spring in Egypt Part 9 - Luxor Temple

At the time when we arrived at Luxor temple it was already after dusk and it became a little difficult to take photos. I compensated by setting my camera ISO to 4000 to make tripod-less picture-taking possible even though the grains became more visible. Just like the previous nights, the moon still looked round to me. I wasn't sure which one of those moons was the actual full moon. We walked around the temple first with Michael for explanations about the temple. In the distance we were able to hear the adzan calling the people for prayer. Situated in the east bank, the construction of the temple was started by Amenhotep III, continued and finished by the famous King Tut and Horemheb, and then added on to by Rameses II and finally by Alexander the Great. Unlike the other temples we had previously visited, this temple is not dedicated to a single cult/god. Instead, it is used as a place to rejuvenate kingship. May of the kings were said to have been coronated at this temple. ...

Nasi Tumpeng - Yellow Rice Mountain Recipe

Last week, one of my friends posted a picture from her daughter's birthday with a "Nasi Tumpeng" in it. Traditionally, in Java and some other places in Indonesia, this mountain-shaped rice dish is served for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations. Below are some pictures of full blown Nasi Tumpeng platters. From satelitnews.co From bundatwinskitchen.files.wordpress.com From indochili.com Impressed yet? Well, the fore-mentioned friend offered me to come over to her place and learn how to make it so of course I gladly went! I am well aware of my cooking capability (and patience) so we made a much simpler (and smaller) version of it.  For the rice you need: 2 cups uncooked rice 1 cup coconut milk (you can put more or less depending on your preference) 1 stem lemongrass 2 bay leaves (dried or fresh) 2 lime leaves (dried or fresh) some turmeric (powder or fresh) water Here's the how to: ...
