 A surprise for The Husband, Korea Nanta musical!

 We also went to the most awesome pub in Bangkok, The Iron Fairies.  

 I havent enjoyed pubbing so much for a long time!
The live R&B here is CD quality.

 Escape Hunt Bangkok

 We booked the morning slot and regretted. It is extremely stressful to solve riddles when you haven't get your morning coffee.

 Brunch in Jasmine Hong Kong Restaurant, Time Square. Recommended by our Japanese guide Mr Miyake san during our tour in Nara, Japan. Mr Miyake used to expat in Bangkok for two years and this is his favorite dim sum restaurant in town. 

 You tiao chee chong fan

  

 Scallop dim sum

 Crab meat dim sum 

 Fish meat dim sum

Burning calories in terminal 21 which is two malls away from time square.

The husband bought a real leather bag at only 200SGD. 

I bought the highly raved about Snail White moisturizer. Not cheap for a Thailand made product, around $35 to 40 (i cant remember correctly) for this bottle but i have to say this worth every single cent.  

Took the Sheraton boat to go to Harmonque but Harmonique restaurant is closed on Monday :(

The Korean man wants meat again. 

Side dishes is so so but their meat is pretty good for the price paid.

Soju mixer, not recommended, too sweet.

I love this shop in Asiatique, they sell quality calf leather products at reasonable price.

Approximately $30 odd sgd for my key holder

Morning dip before check out

Club sandwich to share

This is heaven

Passion fruit strawberry short cake

Dessert with English Breakfast tea is happiness.

Oatmeal cake

Last meal in Siam Paragon before leaving Bangkok

Goodbye for now, see you again next year. 

 My Thann essential oil, Oriental Essence and Aromatic Wood.

Our couple leather key pouch with our name stamped on.

Bogor Weekend

 A weekend in Bogor, an hour away from Jakarta.

Weather up here is cooling, reminded me of Cameron Highlands. 

 Simple lunch for the three of us

 The house keeper brought us a mountain of corns! :)

 Someone knocked on the door offering pony ride.

 BIL and GF went for the pony ride while hubby and me took  FIL's precious out for a ride. It's so funny to imagine old people riding scooter up the mountain, i meant my MIL and FIL, 几 lomantic 一下. 

 Tea plantation

 Found a resort on the mountain, The Pinewood.

 The organic stretch of The Pinewood, they grow and deliver organic greens to Jakarta. 

 Organic market, this is a gem. If you ever tried vegetable steamboat on Cameron Highland you will know how sweet and crisp mountain vegetation are. So fresh, so sweet, so affordable. 

 Cutest pumpkin i ever seen

So much of organic veges plus a small pumpkin for less than 10 SGD.  

 Vege with korean dipping sauce Ssamjang 쌈장

Started drizzling, couldn't use the outdoor BBQ pit, lucky there is a portable one.  

MIL's marinated beef prime riibs (bulgogi) is so succulent, all of us just gathered around the BBQ stand waiting for them to be cooked. 

 BBQ pumpkin

 BBQ corn here is so sweet, we didn't even add butter or salt.

 BBQ sweet potato

 MIL's two new baby German Shepherd, she got them a few months ago after this house got broken into.

They are babies but they are not cute and very aggressive. The husband got multiple scratches and holes on his new tee shirt. I am hiding behind the doors peeking through the window watching them play. 

Bye babies, see you again soon.
