Valentine Burger Chicken Cheese with Pink Cream Sauce. Thailand is truly amazing. 
And now we move on to Day 2 of my most recent Bangkok trip. After watermarking my photos for this blogpost, I’ve realised how awesome it is that we have the ability to take photos, then look at them after, and it takes us back to that point in time when we’re savoring that remarkable salmon belly (yumz) or that marvelous mookata dinner. Also, if Singapore does implement a lockdown, I’ll probably be able to clear the entire backlog of blogposts, which would not be a bad thing actually. Anyway, this is Day 2, when we woke up at 5.40am to make it for our supposed 7am start of the Klook day tour. (Turns out it was cancelled due to insufficient numbers)
We went back to sleep then took a 88baht Grab ride to Siam Center, where there is a Greyhound Cafe on level 3, which we have been to last time and obviously loved the food there.
300baht++ and worth every penny.
The fettuccine with shrimp was still available and still awesome. Incredibly smooth pasta in a thin-enough-to-not-be-jelak cream sauce. It is SO addictive and certainly NOT for sharing. We HAVE to order 2 of this next time! It’s one of those meals whereby you forget about who you’re dining with (haha!) and just quietly savor the yumminess. How can the pasta be so smooth?! It’s just so ridiculously good.
[And my goodness! I’ve just checked out the menu (online) for Greyhound Cafe Singapore. And they have this exact same dish. *Psst Greyhound Bangkok is no longer on Eatigo but Greyhound Cafe Singapore is! Book here.]
Buffalo Burger 320baht++.
The burger was decent. The way it is served is just so cute with 2 mini bottles of mustard and chili sauce. The burger patty was juicy and the veggies were fresh. But nothing beats the pasta, seriously.
Fried Salmon Toro with Dip, 240baht++. Can skip this.
Our appetiser of fried salmon belly was a letdown. Nothing special. Even the garlic chips disappointed.
Innocent Voyage 130baht++
The drink I picked was called Innocent Voyage. It was rather tart and came with lots of ice. It probably doesn’t warrant the pricetag. The blue glass makes it look special and that is it.
I love how the cafe has tablecloths on each table, which contribute to that very homey feel, but which are probably headaches to clean and keep clean. I even spotted a table with a vase of fresh white roses on it. Very atas this place is.

Then we made our way to MBK as no trip to BKK is complete without at least a short visit to MBK. Hahaha! That famous bread place, MONT, is still there and still amazing:
As for the shopping, well, we bought more at MBK than at Platinum on Day One.

After clocking an insane number of steps, we made our way to Family Seafood BBQ for dinner. The main draw: live prawns which you get to catch yourself.
Flower crabs available too, but those were already dead.
It was a 938baht dinner at Family Seafood BBQ. The ordering of drinks is mandatory. So just go ahead and order plain water without ice if you’re not up for beer.
Make sure you come by early – they open at 5pm – because there’s no refill of the tank of live prawns. Once the prawns are all caught, you will have to make do with the dead ones on ice.
As fresh as they get:
Use the tongs to grab the prawns one by one. Dunk them into the tray with ice cubes and once the prawns stop struggling, you can get them out and quickly bring them back to your table and barbecue them before they are revived. It probably sounds cruel, but what’s worse is that some people don’t place the prawns into the icy water first. They just take them out of the tank and place them on the grill.
There’s salmon sashimi too:
I like how this place uses a lot of ice to control the temperature and ensure the proteins don’t go bad. However, they need to find a way to keep the houseflies out. This top tray is full of flies – all those black spots in the picture are actually flies, not black peppercorn or anything like that.
But we did not have stomachaches after this dinner, so I guess we cooked our food thoroughly.
Glorious salmon belly…
Needless to say, it was a most satisfying dinner. I would visit again. Once this COVID-19 situation is over. Which, as we’ve just heard, could take a year or two.

And Bangkok has interesting hours for the sale of alcoholic beverages. You cannot drink early in the morning nor after lunch (but during lunch, can!) (>_<)
And even though we were filled to the brim with seafood, we managed to finish this platter of fruit left in our hotel room.
Apparently, this is customer service recovery from Le Tada Residences. I’ll tell you why in my next blogpost about Day One.
