845 Reunion

On Sunday November 29, 2009, we had get-together party at my Lakewood house and it is our first time since high school graduation. I couldn't believe it is almost 20 years that we haven't met. Have to thank internet, FB, and email that connect us together.

We will meet again soon, may be in next 2-3 months because Dent. Au has to rearrange her schedule with her patients, and we would like to invite family to join next time.

Hakata, Sukhumvit 39


Hakata is a Japanese restaurant in Sukhumvit 39 that I haven't been for more than 10 years. We ate there for lunch. The restaurant offers various lunch set with reasonable price. I had grilled fish set (Bath 140) and sashimi; the food is still excellent with Japanese ambiance.
The restaurant is 100 meters from Sukhumvit Road/BTS Prom Phong station, parking space may be available.

Saew แซว

Love noodle, go to Saew. I think they are pork-noodle expert, with special egg-noodle, various kinds of ball. The original shop is in Sukhumvit 49 which is not noticeable since many caps are parking in front of it and it is very difficult to find parking space. I usually go to the other shop which runs by his wife and son; it is on Lasalle Road, close to Srinakarin intesection. There is also the other shop at Thong Lor, his wife said it belonged to cousin.

Coming here, should eat tom-yum noodle, but I have never dined yentafor, noodle with red sauce and morning-glory. I will try it next time!

Make merit at Wat Rakhang

Today we went to Wat Rakhang to make merit and and release fish. The temple's name means bell and was built more than 200 years ago. The temple is located by Chao Praya River and can reach by car and boat. Among Thai people, the temple is famous of its prayer and small Buddha image, they believe in the prayer, therefore you can see people pray the a page-long prayer during paying respect to the Buddha in the temple.

I am delighted.

Laem Cha-reon Seafood

Laem Cha-reon Seafood originally is from Rayong and now has a few branches in Bangkok. The restaurant offers seafood dishes cooked in Thai, hot and spicy way. The most recommended dish is fried sea bass topped with special fish sauce or Pra Kra-phong Todd Rad Nam Pra which I think is the best compare to other restaurants. Other gourmet menu include stir fried crab with curry powder, crab and preserved bamboo curry, fish in hot and spicy soup, spicy horse crab salad, grilled prawn, etc.

Thong Lee

Being one of a oldest restaurant in Sukhunvit 20, Thong Lee is still a popular place for Thai and foreigner. With its Hainan style food, the recommended dishes is fried chicken with crispy skin, stir fried pork with shrimp paste, sweet crispy fried vermicelli, and many more, and all delicious. The shop is located almost the end of the soi and should go by cap since it is difficult to find parking space. Your car may be thrown if you parked the wrong side of the road so carefully notice the parking sign.



I really like sweet crispy fried vermicelli so that I order one more to take home.
