Bangkok 01/12: The Annual Thang

Welcome to Bangkok. The last time I was here was at least 3 years back. Hence, decided to go with JSee, so called an annual thing that we just need a trip to somewhere. As long as it requires a passport :P To North

There is only one flight a day flying direct from Penang to Bangkok which departs at 5.25pm. The journey to Bangkok took us about 1 hour 40 minutes, which by the time we touched Bangkok, its probably dinner time by then. The ride was fine just that it took us quite a while at passport clearance. The funny thing about it? The local officers who ushered us to the respective counters actually thought that we were locals. FOL! While queueing up waiting for my turn, we stumbled upon a drunkard who started to question us and trying to be funny! Oh, well. We of course left as soon as we were done and headed off to catch a cab to the city.

When we hop up to the cab, JSee actually asked me how much was it. There were no nothing but written 900. Being a little lost and confused, we handed the piece of paper to the driver which later we were told that its 900Baht to drive us to the city.

After when we managed to checked in and dropped our stuff in the hotel, we left Nana and headed over to check out those hot spots in town. There goes, JSee brought me to Soi Cowboy. Yeah … so its when I have 20 sets of not very pretty boobies and pussehs right before my eyes. Never once seen so many at one time! What a great start for year 2012.  Soi Cowboy

Its rather packed at Soi Cowboy. An alley where you can find hundreds of people all around the world from different walks of life.Soi Cowboy

This place would be one of the most happening ones available in town but not recommended for kids under 18. It would just be pretty awkward to bring your family to such places. Anyway, we didn’t spend much time there. Drank a bit and left the place before being mistaken.

Chez Weng

PhotobucketPrecinct 10, a hub where a number of F&Bs which is located right beside Island Plaza, Tanjong Tokong. Being a first timer, I was rather excited to check out this new place as there are quite a number of new F&Bs besides those existing ones.

Chez Weng, a restaurant filled with awesome food.Photobucket

Besides the lovely ambiance, Chez Weng is spacious, which is suitable for casual dining for a not-too-big-group of corporate gatherings.

Fresh Bread and Dukkah (RM16) was our starter! It came with two small bowls with  Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Dukkah respectively.

Portobello Mushroom, Garlic Confit, Truffle Oil Pizza (RM35), the pizza brings out the strong taste of the mushroom made it taste really good.Photobucket

I am a big fan of tomatoes! Tomato, Basil & Mozarella Cheese Pizza (RM35) was served next. Well, when tomotoes are served on pizzas, they need to be really fresh otherwise, it will just ruin your meal! Photobucket

Pepperoni & Cheese (RM35), which its simple and good.Photobucket

Prosciutto (RM22), served with slices of rock melon, rocket salad and some olive oil.Photobucket

Serrano Hams (RM22), served with slices of pear. Photobucket

Prosciutto, Pear, Rocket Salad and Parmesan Cheese Pizza (RM35), I love the taste of the combination of the Parmesan cheese blended with pear!Photobucket

Duck Confit (RM38), served with mashed potato and a smoked sausage with some broccoli. Balanced dish, simple and I love the tanginess of the duck.Photobucket

Atlantic Salmon (RM38), mashed potato well made. The grilled salmon is perfectly served.  Its a must try.Photobucket

Pork Belly (RM38), I am not a big fan of pork but its exceptional for this one. It really impressed me. The mashed potato was served as its base and the taste of the pork is very well maintained its naturality of the blend.Photobucket

What a night to enjoy all good food after a long tiring day at work. Here comes the dessert after all the heavy main meals.
Orange Vanilla Crème Brulee (RM16), aside from the taste of the original crème brulee,  the orange and vanilla accents do blend well too.

Panna Cotta with Fresh Berries and Chocolate Sauce (RM16), simple and light after heavy meals. The texture is real smooth.Photobucket

Apple Pie with Cinnamon Ice Cream and Caramel Sauce (RM16), the portion is good enough for a pax just in case after a heavy meal. Photobucket

Chocolate Mousse with Marinated Strawberries, Cookies Crumbles & Brandy Sauce (RM16), the freshness of the strawberries are sour enough to blend with the mousse. Well done.

Apple Pie with Cinnamon Ice Cream and Caramel Sauce (RM16), some caramel sauce and having it served in a strudel. Simplicity still rawks!
