Amazing Thailand 2010 - Food version Two

It has been quite a while, busy with work. Been wanted to post some photos for this restaurant that i have been to, during my Bangkok trip early this year. Well, hope this place is not badly affected by the political issue lately.

Joe Louis, traditional Thai puppet theatre located at Suan Lam night market at Lumpini. If you love puppet shows and want to capture the intricate movements and fascinating storyline which was once awarded best traditional puppet show at the International Puppet Festival, be sure to check out the timing of the show at the theatre.

The restaurant is just beside the theatre, which serves traditional Thai food. It is packed with different groups of diners, and of course mainly tourists.

I will always order Phai Thai in any Thai restaurant.  
Much, much better than any of the Phai Thai i had in Singapore. Fried with simple ingredients like bean sprout, egg and chicken meat. The wetness of the Kway Teow and the garlic taste just nice.

(Big Head) Prawn Tom Yam Gong
Prawns are very fresh and most importantly, the broth is very tasty. It is not just the usual plain tom yam soup base, it probably have been simmered with the prawn and fish bone.

Glass noodle seafood salad
I like the sharp taste of the sour and spicy of it. The chef has grasped the extent of both flavors to the right level.

Amazing Thailand 2010 - Food version One

My only western breakfast for this trip... hmmm... disappointment :(
Cold sandwiches and coffee...

Although not local food, Thailand is famous for nice Japanese food. In particular to the economical pricing, many people who have been to Thailand will definately includes a meal of Jap food. Under recommendation, i went to this restuarant for the first time; Mt. Fuji. Famous for its Teppanyaki, i ordered a portion of grilled Beef and Kurobuta.


Well, decent looking but texture of the noodle is too soggy.
Not comparable with the Kurobuta, beef is too tough and not juicy at all. I even requested to change the first portion that was being served to me.

  Nicely grilled and tender. Yummy!


Overall, i find that the grilled Kurobuta is still the best, perhaps becos of the nature of the meat itself. I did not order any sushi or sashimi as i feel that it is overpriced. And from the look of the guy sitting at the next table, i think i might be right to choose Teppanyaki over sushi :)
