Eat, Sleep, Repeat @ Bangkok17 - Part 3

Continued ...

 Whatever you do, do not have this shop name in Singapore or Malaysia.

We visited the White Flower Factory which is not a factory at Siam Square 1.

If you like, it is a food factory if you can call that for a restaurant. It is kind of a modern Thai fusion styled restaurant.

In Thailand, especially Bangkok, you will need energy and there is nothing like a sugar rush like their Thai milk tea to sustain the day.

Pad Thai is often available and easy to eat.

The fish floss here if I may call it is a must have.

Crispy prawn cake too.

Salted egg squid may be some people's favourite but here it is done differently from Singapore tze char style.

An of course seafood tom "yummy'' yum in clear soup.

Do not forget that the Thais do their fried rice very well.

As for the desserts, these two are surely out of this world.

Simply pour Thai tea syrup over it and make your day.

I would rate the coconut cake to be even better. Never tasted such delicious coconut cake anywhere. The shredded coconut slices was a perfect combination.


Peace.

Joe is back. Helping us to load up. 

His charges are reasonable and friendly service good.

We will be back in two hours. 

See you again.

Preface It has really been awhile since I have last written and published an article on my blog with the last being in October last year. Before that I have been writing and publishing non-stop for 15 years since 2008.  I was not suffering from writer's block. They say running water never grows stale. So I have to move on to other things since the pandemic has ravaged and torn all asunder. No matter how passionate you are about anything, you will find that after an absence for sometime, the engine gets cold and you find it harder to start.  Just too darned busy and being too busy with one thing means one becomes lazy with the others. The law of compensation. A hiatus if you must.  Covid made it worse as there was no more travelling since borders were closed and eating locally and overseas were curtailed. So I could not write about these things. In fact, I laid out my travel luggage, sat down and spoke to them - "We are not gonna travel for a few years". They have since be

The Kallang Roar! (Part Three)

Back in the good old days, we have four other national teams. Besides the National Team (The Lions), we also have a B team (The Cubs). Then we also competed in the Sultan's Gold Cup fielding a team called Singapore Malays. We have the Singapore Indians playing in the Bardhan Cup and the other being the Singapore Chinese team also competing aga inst Malaysian state teams in the same format and also the Ho Ho Cup triangular among Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong. In 1976, Englishman Trevor Hartley became responsible for the Singapore team at age 28. I can't remember which year Singapore beat Malacca 6-2 and Lee Bee Seng was sent off for punching an opponent who must have trampled on him. Here is Bee Seng with Brian Rozario. In the same match Quah Kim Song was sent off too for fighting. And I said wow! Malaysia Cup is like that? I like! (Pix - Lee Bee Seng with Brian Rozario). And can you believe this? Before all these we have Mike Walker who played Kim Song a

The Hainanese

The Hainanese are people from Hainan who originated from Hainan Island - the smallest province of China at the Southern most tip. They were originally fishermen from Fujian and Guandong and later settled over there. The Hainanese, part of the Chinese dispora migrated to different South East Asian countries including late comers to Singapore worked in ships as sailors, opened their own coffee shops or restaurants, bakeries or bars and worked as cooks and chefs and others at local hotels.  Hainanese in Singapore made up 7% of the Chinese population. The Hainanese came to Singapore much later than the Hokkiens and Teochews who are already well entrenched in trade and commerce. Originally they also have problems communicating with other dialect groups as their language seems unintelligible to the others but they began to carve out a name for themselves working for wealthy Europeans including as canteen operators for military bases.  Hainanese are especially with food and beverage.
