Bangkok Day 3, 4, 5! (Wanton Mee, Terminal 21, Mr Jones' Orphanage)

Bangkok Day 3!

Woke up in the morning to conquer the remaining parts of Platinum mall. Managed to buy myself a few tops after shopping for 2 days. Quite an achievement I guess. Because our breakfast had been almost the same every single day, we decided to just fill our stomach a little and have something else when we are out. While walking, we stopped by a chicken rice stall to have a cup of Ice Thai Milk Tea and a plate of chicken rice to share. This chicken rice stall is not the same as the one famous Chicken rice stall. Saw online that they are the competitors of the pink stall chicken rice.
After we were done, we started our challenge to shop and conquer the remaining parts of the mall. Can’t really remember the exact details thereafter. But I remember that we go to Siam and Central World everyday! Haha!
So around evening, we made our way down to Terminal 21 for shopping. First time there and it is indeed a unique shopping mall filled with different themes and their toilet are also in sync with the theme. Left after dinner and we got our dinner settled at the food court there! The food in the food court was freaking cheap! A 100 baht for 2 plates of rice and a cup of juice. Where to find? But of course, we didn’t expect the food to be very nice. Headed over to Siam via the BTS. Thought that we could go to the night market again to do some shopping but we did not realize that night market don’t open on Monday night. In the end, we decided to go for a massage because both our legs were already on the verge of breaking after the days of walking. We were stuck between Siam Relax and Chang Massage and took a risk to enter Siam Relax. Each time we go to somewhere, we will always check for the reviews. We were glad that the massage at Siam Relax was more than good! The therapist that served the both of us was very nice. Anyway, the both of us opted for the Thai massage, because we thought that we needed a full body massage so badly! Glad that they didn’t disappoint us. 1 hour for 300 baht is considered reasonably cheap to us.

Lastly, we concluded that Monday night in Bangkok is boring. There’s nothing much we could do after our massage. Ended our night just like this.

Day 4
Headed back to Platinum Mall again to last minute shopping before we leave for Singapore the next day.
Shopped for about 2 hours or less, and headed out for lunch over at the famous Wanton Mee stall since we didn’t manage to try it the day before. Upon reaching, there was a long queue right outside, with quite a lot of Singaporeans in the queue. It didn’t take us long to be seated but because there were too many customers, our order took quite some time to come. In my opinion, the wanton mee wasn’t as fantastic as what I thought it was going to be. The portion was so small that it can hardly fill the stomach. We also ordered the pork leg, which tasted quite nice. Total meal was about 200-300 baht. Can’t really remember the price.





Headed to Siam right after our meal for some shopping. But because we had walked so much, both of us were so tired and ended up eating again. This time round trying Mr Jones’ Orphanage! They have a wide selection of cakes and I was so tempted to eat everything but then my stomach was already too full from all the food I had since morning. Ordered a cup of coffee and red velvet cake for boyfriend to try, as this is his first time trying it. The reason why we keep eating non-stop was also because that day was considered our last day to eat the food in Bangkok. So no matter fat or not, we are just going to stuff ourselves with all of it with no regrets! Walked all the way back to Central World via the link way. It wasn’t as far as I thought, probably because of the sheltered link way that makes the walking bearable under the hot weather. Another round of shopping to ensure that we did not miss out any good deals!





Since it was our last day, we make our way to the Big C supermarket to buy some food back for our family and friends. We were shopping so happily that everything got a little out of hand. Everything seems so cheap that we kept throwing into the trolley only to realize that it cost us a thousand baht for all the things! Back to hotel to drop all our stuff and rested before heading out for dinner. We were clueless of where to go next as it was still quite early for dinner. In the end, we went for round 2 of massage at Number One massage. This time round we only did the foot massage but I wasn’t very pleased with the service provided. The lady was like touching my legs more than really massaging it. I didn’t really feel anything from it. Anyway, it was only 200 baht for an hour, that’s 100 baht cheaper than those located at Siam. When we were done, it was pouring outside and we were stuck there without any umbrella. The rain came just right when we decided not to bring the umbrella out. We waited for a while before we leave for dinner. Headed over to Central World again for our dinner over at Ding Tai Fung.  The DTF there wasn’t as good as those in Singapore but definitely cheaper than the current price in Sg. We gobbled our food down within 10 minutes and were still starving after that. What to do? Have more food! Headed over to Siam night market after dinner to do last minute shopping. Walked down the same street and got myself a new tote bag for school! 150 baht only! What a steal! Headed back to hotel to do our last minute packing before flying back home the next day!
one of the roadside stall: Banana pancake prata! 

Back to Singapore and this trip is definitely one of the trips that I will remember! More places to explore the next time round when I am back!
