Bangkok 2018 Part 3 - Festivities

After our lunch at May's Garden House Restaurant and our visit to EmQuartier, we crossed to Sukhumvit Station and took the BTS to Siam Station. Around Sukhumvit station we took some pictures with the Christmas decorations. I must say they did really well, it's just as good as Singapore.

Bangkok's BTS was very nice and clean, and what we liked best was that the people really lined up properly to get on the train. When we got off the train at Siam station, the people trying to get in lined up in a single file! I don't see that even in Singapore!

The Siam Station links several shopping centres in the area, grouped as One Siam. First, we visited Siam Paragon. From there, we explored Siam Discovery and Siam Centre. The three malls have a joint even for Christmas called the Festival of Light.

Delicious Kahlua Milk with pearls

Kempinski Hotel Lobby

The following day was my birthday. Last year I celebrated in Sapporo and this year in Bangkok. It's pretty nice! I vaguely remember everyone waking me up with a happy birthday song but now I'm not even sure if it actually happened or not. Lol!

We started with another Kahlua drink at Brix in Siam Paragon.

That's all for now, stay tuned for the next posts!

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...

Where To Eat in Medan, North Sumatra

If you talk to anyone about Medan, the number one thing that comes up is definitely the food. The distinguished Chinese-Medanese cuisine is known to Indonesians as exceptionally delicious. Just as famous is the Batak cuisine with its pork dishes and others. Now that we've been to Medan, these are our recommendations! Macehat Coffee Macehat is famous for their Avocado Coffee drink, but they also offer snacks and coffee beans. I've heard so many rave reviews for this coffee shop, but my final verdict is: it's ok, just so so.

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: ...
