I just happen to be very blessed when it comes to food - and I have to share the good stuff, yes? (Though this is not helping that I have to get in to my wedding dress in 4 months! I went for my first fitting about 2 weeks ago - and just barely, I had to suck it all in and bend over to push all the breath out in me just so the zip could go up. But that is another story…)

Dinner when we arrived at Tsu Traditional Japanese Restaurant, JW Marriott Bangkok Sukhumvit. Don’t ask me why Japanese food in Bangkok. I don’t eat Sushi - but I can tell the raw fish servings are VERY generous!

This is the stuff that I don’t eat;

Stuff I eat - I ordered fried chicken…

Check out the little kid diggin’ in! Gorgeous!

Headed to China town after dinner - and believe it or not - some of us ate more!


Black pepper and internal organs soup - or what’s left of it… I went for a walk, and this was all that was left - fine by me, since I don’t do internal organs.

Next day lunch at China town, fish porridge. This stall has been there for 60 years - I don’t have the address, but it’s a side lane - see if you can recognise it from the pictures if you happen to be there.

This is the chef and owner;

Following night’s dinner at this restaurant that I would totally recommend and go back to again!

This is just for starters -

Shark’s fin soup - not my fave, but never mind…

We had TWO! pigs!!! ONE + ONE!

YUM! My favourite! Crabs and prawns.

And because I love the beef and beef ball soup - just for me!!! Special order - take away from a famous beef ball soup place;

On our last morning in Bangkok - we went to the fruit market - bought 2 boxes of mangoes to bring home, but they were confiscated at the airport upon arrival. REMEMBER! NO MANGOES ARE ALLOWED IN TO MALAYSIA.



And we finish off the trip with a two hour massage on the way to the airport. This is a HUGE spa, and I give it 2 thumbs up.

My sister adopted 2 kittens named Kit and Kat… and I won’t go in to the havoc they have caused, but I came across this three rather special felines, and felt I had to share it with all cat lovers too…

And also because it amuses me.

Cat with wings!

Cat with FOUR ears… I am sure it hears better… surely it must…

And this puddy-cat that puts Garfield to shame… 44 pounds of kitty!

After carrot and walnut muffin with cafe latte… We headed to Ginza, shopped around for a bit before sushi and sashimi lunch (yes! again!) at Matsukan Restaurant (t: 03-3455-4923).

And I couldn’t leave Tokyo without having me some Katsu!!! So at tea time…

Apparently the best chocolates in the world… the best he’s ever had, according to Sweet V, at USD5 each;

And then we went to the sakae bar next door to get some sakae glasses - and because we couldn’t resist also had a glass of sakae each;

And pre-dinner!!!

And the best meal of the trip… I would really recommend this. It’s a small cozy place, great service with great selection of wine (so I am told, since I don’t know that much about wine). Their specialty is charcoal grilled meats.

And these are the young talented chefs in-charge who cook for the love of food!
