Singapore breakfast in Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport in SQ lounge Prawn noodle Nasi Lemak Nice Thai fish maw soup

I have been living in 3rd world Thailand for so many years and looking from the outside I really envy Singaporeans who can year after year more and more upmarket. Respect. I really cannot afford to live in Singapore anymore.

Tuesday evening left for home concluding my 8 days visit to Japan Over Osaka Starter Main, halibut Desserts

It was over midnight on Monday and feeling hungry cos not had dinner so googled for ramen restaurant which lead me to this restaurant just 400m walk from hotel Got to pay using a machine My order Went inside, seemed to have many customers at 00.45am Kitchen Cold cold beer Here comes my ramen Happy Meal One of the best ramen I've had - soup was thick and tasty, noodle still has a little hardness cooked to perfection
