Thebeardboy2018 was brought to media attention by The Roaming Cook. Since then Chef Oat has appeared on local television showcasing his kua kai or flat noodles with chicken or seafood. He has made the crispy version of the dish and his crispy pork belly is excellent. Chef Oat honed his skills in Europe, working in various restaurants and hotels before returning to Thailand. His shop is set on the ground floor of his home in Wutthakat, Bangkok, giving you a homely feel when you dine there. #thailand #bangkok #thebeardboy2018 #kuakai
We have known about Taiki Rattanapong when he was featured on YouTube and we saw his passion about creating a unique burger. He has since moved on to bigger things and is getting better and more creative over the years. We have seen his craft and creations evolve from his days at Bun Meat & Cheese to his return to Homeburg. His food is unique and delicious and his burgers are excellent to say the least. He had us coming back for more, culminating in a private dining last month. Finally got seats and thanks to him for accommodating us! We had a dining experience to remember. #covid_19 #covidtravel #covidthailand #homeburg
Patonggo Savoey in Yaowarat, Chinatown, Bangkok, is listed in the Michelin Guide. This humble stall has been selling patonggo, or yu tiao, or dough sticks for more than a decade. They start selling from afternoon till late at night. The dough sticks come with sankaya or pandan coconut jam. They also have other flavoured jam to accompany the patonggo. It can also be eaten dipped in hot black coffee or soups and curries. To me, it is good enough on its own! It is a must try if you visit Chinatown in Bangkok.
DAY 2 - Penultimate day. Made sure I had checked in online, submitted my arrival card online to the Immigration Authority, and planned my day. No harm making a checklist so you know everything is in order. Travel in the new normal. Headed to another part of Bangkok to meet Thebeardboy2018 after recommendations by The Roaming Cook, Gary Butler. Chef Oat was very humble and friendly. He cooked 3 dishes for us, the original krua kai, the special crispy version and crispy pork belly. Krua kai is a northern Thai dish with fried flat rice noodles with chicken, pork and seafood with egg. There are different variants in Thailand but it’s difficult to find in Singapore. Authentic street food at its best! #thebeardboy2018 #kruakai #thaistreetfood #covid_19 #covidthailand #covidtravel #thaifood
Krua Porn Lamai first came to the attention of the media when Chef Gordon Ramsay visited and loved the sizzling volcano ratna. His video garnered thousands of views causing more people, especially tourists, to visit this humble stall on a side street in Yaowarat, Chinatown, Bangkok. Already well-known among locals, the sudden interest caused queues to form every evening. There are only a few tables available. The flat noodles with thick gravy and seafood became a hit. They have other dishes like glass noodles with seafood and oyster omelette, all served on hot plate. The last we visited, it wasn’t very crowded.

Mocking Tales Cafe in Sukhumvit Soi 55, Bangkok, is a fairy tale-like cafe and decor that makes one feel like being in a Harry Potter world! There are also medieval furniture and fittings that take you back in time and makes this cafe Instagram-worthy! The food served are western and fusion cuisine while their desserts are also good. The star of their menu is this volcano chocolate covered in raspberry sauce with ice cream and cookies inside. This dessert is big enough to serve 2-3 people.
We have seen this mall grow in popularity over the years including a second building being erected as an adjoining mall to pushcarts lining outside the walkway of the shopping mall. Platinum Mall became one of Bangkok’s most popular shopping malls. Locals will flock here to buy in bulk at factory prices and reselling at their own stalls in markets and night markets. Students and young adults come here to buy fashionable clothes and accessories. Tourists would stay at nearby hotels so they can shop here. Sadly, many shops have closed and pushcarts outside no longer exists. Hoping for the borders to open soon.
True Love Neverland Husky Cafe in Lat Phrao was one of the first dog cafes in Bangkok. We have visited this cafe several times and were one of the first customers when it opened. The dogs are truly beautiful, intelligent and sociable. The favourite is not a husky but a shih tzu named Momo! Momo is an honorary husky. The owners are friendly and accommodating, making this place a must-visit if you love dogs.
Continuing our updates on how Bangkok is now, we are posting a video taken a month ago at Pratunam market. Another popular area for local and tourists to shop for clothes, knick knacks, fashion accessories and food. Pratunam is well-known for their day and night markets and is near Platinum mall. It is sad to see most places with less than a quarter of the crowd that used to throng these place pre-Covid. Hope the Government can stem the tide of infections and roll out more vaccines.
Those who have been to Bangkok will have shopped and had a meal at Platinum Mall. Bustling with locals and tourists, one shopping mall became two, due to its popularity. Locals and tourists go there to buy clothes and some go there to buy in bulk, getting factory prices, to re-sell. T-shirts, suits, shirts, blouses, underwear, sportswear, footwear, fashion accessories, and more all under one roof! There are also cafes and a food court as well as restaurants. The place was so full until stalls and pushcarts had to flow out onto the sidewalk outside the mall. Today, the mall is a shadow of what it used to be and many shops have shuttered. Hope tourists will be allowed back soon.
The Praya Palazzo Boutique Hotel is located along the legendary Chao Phraya River in Bangkok. It is secluded and not easily accessible by road. It is easier to take a ferry there. The hotel is self contained if you just wish to remain there throughout your stay or you can take the ferry and explore the area or shop at ICON Siam mall.
