Ko Chang #7 - Farewell



I spent our last night on the island enjoying a dinner with an ocean view. I could just see the sun sneaking under the water before a squall hit.

Melt Me Cafe

Image
I researched to find the *best* gelato in Bangkok, and this shop: Melt Me , in Thong Lo, was the winner. The gelato case (click to see more detail): I headed over on a Saturday to treat myself. The shop features not only wonderful flavors of gelato, but also handmade chocolates and milk from Hokkaido, the northern island of Japan. Drinks, cakes and other sweets are also available. The chocolate display case: Handmade chocolate selections: I know I'm a pig for eating too many chocolates, but you don't have to rub it in!!! Customers can test taste the gelato before purchasing. Two flavors in a small cup costs only 99 Baht. (=$2.27 CAD/ 227 JPY). My picks: vanilla and forest berry My huge iced coffee: The theme inside is based on "Alice in Wonderland", with one large "tea party table" featured in the center of the shop.

Cooking Japanese

I've been trying to cook some of my favorite dishes from my time in Japan...I guess I miss the taste of my second home.^_^ A friend recommended I try "Omurice" which means: omelet/rice. It's very easy... 1. Make rice. ^_^ // Fry up chicken (in my case, I used sausages), green pepper, onion and whatever else you like to put in an omelet. 2. After the rice is cooked, add ketchup and mix. Add the ketchup/rice to the chicken/veggie mix and stir-fry. [My German friend was really funny when I told her this recipe: "Ketchup?? With rice?!?! Ew!"] (laugh) 3. Make an omelet. Add the rice/stir-fry mix to the middle. Fold around the edges. **Hard part!** 4. Flip the entire thing over onto a plate. It took all my concentration, and I gave myself a little pep talk before the actual "flip". But, success! I did it! Yay! ^_^/ **Bonus** Today is Tanabata in Japan. This translates to "Star Festival". You can read/ see pictures about this special day HERE . ...

Beirut Cafe

Above the Beirut restaurant in the Ploen Chit Center, there is a cafe, run by the same owners as the eatery below. After enjoying the meal, we headed upstairs for a coffee and some sweets. The inside is quite nice with a great patio: My friend ordered a coffee latte: I choose a Vienna coffee (my favorite! Yum! ^_^): Beirut Cafe is located on the first floor of Ploen Chit Center. BTS Stations Nana or Ploen Chit. Prices from 80 baht + (=¥240 / $2.40). If you don't mind the heat, the outside patio tables look really great. ^_^
