Yamato Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 Its the Ebisu festival in Osaka 9-11/Jan. Ebisu is the Japanese God of Fortune and many are celebrating and praying for good business. Had dinner with a Japanese friend in Benkay Restaurant in the hotel. Appitiser - chef prepared mochi with the face of Ebisu. Hand made tofu Sashimi Sake Clear soup with white fish Cod roe Yellow tail in soya sauce To finish we have puffer fish (fugu) deep fried, restaurant only serve fugu from the natural wild Because I know executive chef very well he offered us this dish which is very difficult to come by - wild fugu testicles, lightly seared. Chawanmushi Crab rice cooked in claypot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamato Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 Not a big fan of fast food but once a while when on the road peddling my screws will stop by a gas station to eat and today don't know why decided on KFC. So far I think the Thai KFC make the most delicious fried chicken, just my personal opinion Thai KFC also provide free flow soft drinks and free drinking water My 4 pieces chicken costs only $4.70 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallika is a very popular noodle chain which can be found in many malls and PTT gas station. A. Mallika is well known for pioneering yentafo noodle which is basically noodle soup with red fermented tofu. Most Thais live yentafo. Typical A. Mallika shop, simple, retro, clean My breakfast Broad rice noodle with fishballs, fish dumpling, tofu stuffed with fish meat, fish skin, wood ear fungus.

Yamato Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 If you've been read g my posts you'll know I'm more of a Thai, Western and Japanese food lover. I guess due to a high number of westerners and Japanese expats here these food is good here in Bangkok. However last night I discovered a very good Korean restaurant, I hardly have Korean food as you can see. Restaurant is at Sorabol Sukhumvit Rd, Khwaeng Khlong Tan, Khet Khlong Toei, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10110, Thailand +66 2 204 1203https://maps.app.goo.gl/3rAS5 Started with shochu Then came the beef Then the cooked food, Korean pizza Glass noodle Kimchi soup Ginseng chicken soup with sticky rice Fried tofu Nice spread Think I'm beginning to like Korean food, will be back for more for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamato Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 If you notice my posts I hardly post anything about the southern haven Hua Hin. Well that's because to get to Hua Hin one has to drive through Rama 2 highway and then Petchaburi, now that because this "highway" is alway jam due to the road condition not as good as like driving to Pattaya where you have proper tollway. Anyway sometimes I still have to go there for work or some good reasons like Sunday where I had to go to Cha Am to attend the wedding. Colleagues brought me to a great restaurant known as Daeng Seafood at this location - https://goo.gl/maps/t1s7gpQdjPE2 Here's the restaurant and some food we ordered 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
