Ashley's travelogue - Bangkok Again
It’s Bangkok again. I never tire of Bangkok, despite it being my 1001st time there.
I have not been travelling much this year except for a Japan trip in Feb. I guess there are times where it gets too exhausting to plan or even think where to go next. So Bangkok becomes the perfect destination – it’s near, cheap and offers something for everyone.

SUFOOD @ Raffles City
SuFood at Raffles City
Sufood which sound like 舒服 in Chinese is a Fusion Vegetarian Restaurant from Taiwan. If you think Sufood is another Chinese Vegeterian Restaurant which served mock meat...you are wrong. Sufood is a Fushion Italian Vegeterain Restuarnt that served healthy MSG free and mock meat free food. Everything here is natural..not funny looking mock meat is served here.
The menu...you can order Ala-Cart or go for their dinner 8 course set menu at $25.99++ which I think is priced very reasonable or you can go for the ala-cart which are priced at $12.80 for main course and $5,80 for starter or soup, salad at $7.80 and dessert/drink at $3.80 per item. Here is the list of item in the menu. You can request them to opt out the garlic if you don't take garlic.
My appetizer....looks like fine dining with the items served in so small size ... : p
I ordered fruit salad for my salad choice...
Pumpkin Soup is served next.....I forgot to take the photo until I had drunk half of it...
Star Pizza....this is the STAR dish of the night....I didn't know Vegetarian Pizza can be so delicious....
A very thoughtful gesture...the pizza came with gloves...no need to wash your hand before eating and after eating the pizza haha...
Overall: This is a new Vegetarian Dining concept to me and I love it. Meat is not miss here. The service here is good too as most of the serving staff is Taiwanese. I will definitely come back again!!

Gown Choosing at Rico a Mona Bridal Boutique
Gown Choosing at Rico a Mona
Looking back at the previous post on Perfect White Dress where Ashley and Anning went bridal hunting with me, I realized that it was almost a year ago. Times really flies, now I am only less than 3 months away from my wedding date.
During our hunt for the Perfect White Dress , I had decided that I wanted to sign up with Rico A Mona because I liked one of their gown.
The gown testing was done Feb this year. Dated posting again haha. I am entitled to choose 4 gowns for the photo-shoot. One for indoor and three for outdoor. The gown testing supposed to take only one day but i took two days to complete. The first day I only chosen 3 out of 4 gown as I could not find a color gown that I really liked. (Tips: Better to arrange your gown testing on Wednesday as most of the gown would be returned by then. The first time I went is Monday, many of the gowns were not back from the weekend wedding.)
Sharlia was there with me for the gown choosing and she was my partner in crime, the photos was taken by her. Some of the photo that I had it mosaic was simply because I looked ugly haha....forgive me...as we were not supposed to take photos during the gown trial so we had to take photo secretly before Milly caught us and remind us not to take photos thus I got no time to pose.
Appointment at 6 we tested till 9.30 only chosen 3 gowns.
My coordinator name is Milly. She is a very petite gal and all these gown is taller then her, the gown is very heavy as well. She is very patient ,she keep bringing me different types of gowns to let me try on so that I can see which type of gown suits me. But end of the first day trial, I still did not find any color gown I liked, so I went back another day. The second time was a breeze within 30 mins I found a pink gown that I liked.
Trying out different style here...Lacey
Blingy...
Mermaid...
Ruffled....one of my Fave....
Ultimate Bling....
Puffy Short...

Laksa King Steamboat
Laksa King Steamboat
It is another night that we had craving for steamboat again so we decided to try out Laksa King Steamboat which is at Teck Chye Terrace. Note: parking there is a headache, you can either pass it to the valet or park at Serangoon Stadium and walk over.
The soup choice, this is the first time we had Laksa and Mala soup base together....both spicy soup lolz.
The food choice...this is buffet style steamboat.
Sauce is free
Cook Food from the menu...
Here comes the soup....look at the RED....
This is my favorite..handmade noodles. Soak this in Mala soup...Sedap!!
Potato Noodle is also another must have if you eat Mala steamboat !! They goes together really well.
Overall: The Laksa and Mala soup are quite average, I had tasted better Laksa Soup and better Mala Soup before in other places. But if you want to have both soup together, I think Laksa Steamboat is the only one that offer this option . The price is friendly given the variety of food they offered.
Note: Thou the place state they operate till 11pm, the staff will start cleaning and packing the place early if there are not many customer left....pressuring you to eat fast and leave fast.

Stay-cation at Oasia Hotel
Stay-cation at Oasia Hotel
It's another super dated posting by us. Recently, we had been neglecting our blog as we are really busy lolz...I had many photos on my iPad waiting to be blog...but sorting the photos really takes up lots of time...so be patient....good things need to be wait haha
Anyway, this is my post on my stay-cation at Oasia Hotel last year Christmas Eve...so you will see some Christmas decoration on the photos....
We were staying at the club level since the club rooms and normal rooms price differential is insignificant.
The welcome drinks at the club lobby.
The club lobby where you can have free drinks and snacks all day long....there is indoor and outdoor seat but there is no view for this hotel. At the back of the hotel is a condo, you can look into people house and see what they are doing. The front view is hospital view and a church which was great because the time of our stay was Christmas Eve.We can see people celebrating at the church and singing Christmas Carol which adds on to the Christmas Ambiance
My Mocha
The outdoor Swimming and Jacuzzi pool which are kind of small.
The room....the corridor to the room and the room is scented with wood smell which is quite interesting because the room is decorated with wood.
They are generous with the drinks....all drinks in the minibar are free
The Gym...
I find this digital weight lifting machine interesting and it looks super high tech..
Overall: I felt this hotel is average, we had our breakfast at the club lobby but during breakfast time it was rather chaotic. Food was not top up promptly and drink was not served promptly. The staff forgotten our order a coupe of times. Breakfast choice was very limited. Staff was not trained well. The hotel location is good if you have medical appointments at the clinic or hospital. Otherwise, the place is quite dead at night.
