Tired and grumpy, I washed up and was craving my morning coffee, though they weren't good coffee. And I also knew that I would be getting eggs! *adrenaline pumping*
See how runny and yummy those eggs looked? And yes, I had both the sunny side up plus the scrambled eggs! *guilty*
"Alright.. it's a slow and nice day... we shall explore somewhere new today!".
And again, we rushed back to the apartment and get that sleepy look off our faces and hair - get dress, get handsome and get pretty!
.
Hmm.. yellow yellow... such a happy color! *all smiles*
.
J said we should explore new places and we took the BTS to Thong Lor Station. THong Lor was highly recommended by his elder brother; for what, I could not remember but thought he mentioned, vaguely, well-designed pubs and cafes. Not sure.
.
We alighted at the station and walked for a really long time along a really long road. Along the really long road, we saw a few furniture gallery, bridal boutiques and basically nothing else. As the weather was killing me, I was resentful and uncomfortable with perspiration. After close to 30 minutes of endless walking, we arrived at a modest mall that deceivingly looked huge in our book... *jaw dropped* - J Avenue.
.
There was nothing to see but housed a few cafes and restaurants. Disappointed. We had to sit down and bury ourselves within the air-con room. I had the privilege of choosing a pretty cafe of my choice. They housed a few familiar names like iBerry, Greyhound Cafe, Au Bon Pain and a couple of Japanese restaurants.
.
My fattening healthy choice - waffles with strawberry ice cream + bananas + strawberries!
His utterly sinful brownie with cookies and cream ice cream!
The cafe was a comfortable palette of white and yellow; so appropriate for perking one up. Our iBerry cost us 261 THB.
Here are a few shots of how relaxed and slow J-Avenue was... nice surroundings but disappointing for a tourist perhaps. But I did spot many Caucasians having their tea and chilling out in the cafes though.
We dashed across the road from J-Avenue and saw another arty-farty building and again, there was nothing much there except restaurants, hair salons, a few florists and a local designer's boutique. The building was also creatively known as Penny's Balcony - how appropriate as the shops were all lines up behind a balcony!
The things they were selling were also very pretty stuff and gave one the feel of Holland Village in Singapore. If you'd know what I mean?
.
We hopped into a taxi to MBK. No, we were not prepared to walk the very long road back to the BTS station.
.
The cabfare to MBK cost us 120 THB inclusive of tipping as there was a bad jam along the way. We bought ourselves a pair of lovely pillow cases!
We walked around MBK furniture level abit as J was eager to look for stuff we could get for your new house but we were held back with ways to deliver the stuff back... so we dropped the idea.
.
We headed up to Fuji Japanese Restaurant. Eat AGAIN?????? Not really, we were just snacking! *defensive!* I was very disappointed though. I used to frequent Fuji with Mum and aunt and the meal never cost the 3 or 4 of us over S$35.. this time with J and we ordered so little, we had to pay 838 THB.. not cheap anymore! Their prices had risen to that of dining in Singapore. Bad bAd bad bad bad!
.
We walked around MBK for a while, then into Bonanza Mall and then to Central World.. again.. in search of pretty cafe. Since there weren't much to do.
.
Lucky me, found a handsome cafe! It's call create8 cafe and it's a bookstore cum cafe! I loved it because the colors were dark and the fact that J and I were sitting in a book!!!!
His Iced Cappuccino was actually REALLY good!
Erm.. nope, we were not eating.. we were just nibbling!One for the road!
Hmm.. yellow yellow... such a happy color! *all smiles*.

His Iced Cappuccino was actually REALLY good!We ordered salad you see!
Our nibbling cost 360 THB.
.
After that, we went scouting for dinner venue. YES, you heard me right! *lol*
We walked around the whole mall, corners we had never been to, levels we had not yet explored. We wanted something unusual and affordable. However, as we have been eating non-stop, our stomach wanted other things. Mine wanted simple and plain soupy food.
.
J gave in and we settle down in the Food Hall and the highest level of Central Mall.
It was like any food court you could find in Singapore except they were selling all local food. I was happy I ordered my Pork Balls and Meal Kuey Teow Soup. So local! *satisfied!*
J had wanted pasta tonight but we did not manage to find one nice and affordable one in the building, and the stall selling pasta in the food hall, according to him, not appetizing to look at. He went for Pha Thai instead!
I mentioned to J in the afternoon that I did not get to eat the thai-ish 'po-piah' from MK this trip. J ordered this for me when he saw it at the food hall... *so sweet* But it was not as nice as MK.
Our meal at the FOod Hall cost only 185 THB.

Feeling a little blue as we would be going back tomorrow. Sigh...
