What do you do first thing in the morning? Look for a good cup of coffee or tea. That's what we did when we were in Bangkok.  Tired and sleepy, we needed some good and strong caffeine drinks  to wake us up and start our day with a kick.

Entered this contest organized by Intercontinental Hotel KL to promote celebrity chef from Singapore, Chef Sam Leong who was coming to the hotel's famous restaurant, Tao Chinese Restaurant.  Was so happy when told that we have won 8 course dinner for 2 at the restaurant, for a good reason, we love to eat good food.

Chef Sam Leong, 49 is a celebrity chef from Singapore. With over 25 years of culinary and innovation experience, it's a chance of a lifetime to be able to enjoy his creation.  Chef Sam Leong has cooked for  Singapore’s founding father Lee Kuan Yew, former US presidents George W Bush and Bill Clinton and Queen Elizabeth II of England.

  
2. The must have in Bangkok : sticky rice with mango. Can get this at every part of the city. Mine is from Chatuchak weekend market. (50baht)


4. Fried quail eggs.

5. Freshly squeezed orange juice. The juice so refreshing and thirst quenching.  And in Bangkok, you can also find pomegranate, lime and pineapple juice on the street. 20 to 40 baht depending on the size of the bottle.

6. BBQ Pork sausages.  Grilled over hot charcoal, it's nice but one was enough for us as the sausage was a bit too oily to our liking. (20 baht)

7. Thai sticky rice with durian. This one of my favourite.  With a combination of Thai famous durian and sticky rice, what can go wrong? (50 baht)

8. Street coffee and tea. (20Baht). It's a must in the morning. This guy has a wide range of beverages you can order, iced Thai coffee, iced tea, iced Nescafe, iced Milo or combination of any of these. See my full post here >>

We love to go for Japanese food fair.  We are regulars at Isetan KLCC Japanese food fair. There are always something new to see or taste. But when we went to B.I.G in Publika, Dutamas, we were disappointed with the their Japanese food fair there. There were nothing much to see except for some prepack items like biscuits, canned food and instant noodles.

(Kuriya means ‘aristocratic kitchen’ in Japanese. Found only in homes of the noble class, it is the place where dishes are prepared for important guests.

Welcome to Kuriya at Bangsar, a place where you can enjoy haute Japanese cuisine and intimate service in cozy yet luxurious settings. At Kuriya, we understand Japanese fine dining should be memorable experience. *from FB)

It was a great experience to see how a master chef handled and cut the bluefin tuna. And the experience got better when we were given a chance to taste fresh bluefin tuna sashimi and sushi, especially the tuna belly sashimi. It's so smooth. A master chef, indeed!
