Thai Airways MNL-BKK-CNX Inflight Meals ♥

 

 

January 24, Manila to Bangkok

First Course: Smoked Salmon Rosette with Caper, Marinated Pimiento,
Mesclun with French Vinaigrette Dressing – boring

 

Main Course: Mixed Seafood with Garlic and Basil, Stir-Fried Vegetables,
Cantonese Noodles – seafood is tasteless and rubbery and very disappointing

 

My cheese plate.
Kidding! This is the FA’s cheese tray.

 

My cheese plate – I wish for a better selection

 

Dessert: Pumpkin Cheesecake and Coffee – anything sweet is welcome at this point

 

Entertainment: Bejeweled Blitz! My favorite game!

 

January 24, Bangkok to Chiang Mai

Chicken Curry with Rice – the sauce is great except chicken is hard.
Forget about the peanut tart.

 

January 28, Chiang Mai to Bangkok

Fish Curry with Rice – pretty good. I suggest you skip the dry mocha roll.

 

January 28, Bangkok to Manila

First Course: Sauteed Prawns, Grilled US Scallops, Grilled Zucchini, Tomatoes and Mozarella, Mesclun – not bad at all

 

Main Course: Stir-Fried Fillet of (VERY TOUGH) Beef with Ginger and Spring Onion, Oriental Fried Rice, Seasonal Japanese Vegetables, and an episode of Gossip Girl

 

That slice of cheese with dried fruits and nuts is the bomb!
I have a second plate, and lust for a third. I still dream about it even now.

 

Dessert: Dark Chocolate and Rhum Truffle with Coffee – not dark enough

 

If I were a bathroom fixture, I’d be this chubby but cute toilet bowl.

Congee Breakfast at McDonald’s, Chiang Mai ♥ ♥

 

Luckily, McDonald’s sits right across our hotel, so we go there in the mornings to get our caffeine shot. (McCafe’s Hot Mocha with that big crown of cream makes rising up at 7:30am less painful!)

 

Ronald says “Sawatdee Khrab!”
I say “Sawatdee Kaa!”

 

Double Fillet and McD Chicken Porridge! When oh when will we have these in Manila?

 

McD Chicken Porridge – it’s just congee with McChicken pieces, green onions and coriander. No biggie.

 

My breakfast tray. Porridge, hash browns and McCafe hot mocha.
Crispy fried things and whipped cream make every morning a great morning.

 

McDonald’s: Chiang Mai Night Bazaar, 145/28-30 Chang Klan Road, Chiang Mai, Thailand

Wororot Market, Chiang Mai ♥ ♥ ♥

 

Do you know how difficult it is to eat and walk and squeeze yourself between hundreds of people and take pictures of everything all at the same time?

VERY VERY.

I don’t have the powers to multitask like that.

But because I love you, I sacrifice the eating part and just walk, squeeze and take pictures.

So here are some sights from Wororot, one of Chiang Mai’s largest outdoor markets.

 

Strawberries, strawberries, strawberries

 

A mountain of strawberries

 

Other non-strawberry fruits

 

Sausages and The Woman Who Wears Sunglasses at Night

 

Crepes and waffles

 

(Meat?)Balls on sticks

 

Dried squid on sticks

 

And even hard boiled eggs on sticks!

 

Insectssssss (click to enlarge below photos at your own risk)

 

   

 

These actually look like crunchy, tasty things

 

Little black furry things (Warning: not for eating!)

 

Deep fried goodies

 

Soup, knuckles and noodles

 

Grilled fishes

 

Seafood cakes grilled in banana leaves

 

Barbecued meats and intestines

 

Sausage pearl necklace

 

Chilies, chilies, chilies

 

Really pretty clams

 

Sweet soups in plastic bags (Okay, I had one. I couldn’t resist.)

 

Roasted and fresh Thai coconuts – my favorite!

 

This is the real deal open kitchen

 

Wororot’s version of the One Dollar Store. Everything you need, it’s all here.

 

Watches, bracelets, accessories

 

Hair clips, hair pins and scroongies.

 

I love saying that word.

Scroongies, scroongies, scroongies!

Sounds so much better than Wororot, right?

Chaw Fha Talay Kram Restaurant ♥

 

Let’s eat at that seafood restaurant beside the airport.

Okay, game.

 

First, you pick your seafood here

 

and here

 

Then they cook it for you here

 

Then you eat what they cooked for you here

 

“Our seafood does not contain formalin”
That’s good to know.

 

Our no-formalin seafood picks for the night:

Deep Fried Soft Shell Crabs with Garlic and Pepper – very delicious but so rich and fatty 
my system can only take a few pieces

 

Grilled Scallops with Garlic – ok lah

 

Pan Fried Eggs and Oysters with Bean Sprouts. In short, Oyster Cake –
oyster are plump and juicy

 

Fried Crab with Vermicelli – dry and tasteless

 

Fried Pork Knuckles or Crispy Pata – okay, I know this is not seafood, but this one’s got no formalin, too! Skin is thick and crunchy, but so is the meat. Bistro Remedios is still the best.

 

Stir-Fried Morning Glory – the chili gives this dish quite a nice kick

 

Then we get on the plane and fly back to our hotel in style. Ha!
