The Chao Phraya River and Chinatown

The Chao Phraya River and Chinatown

To get to Chinatown (Yaowarat) Bangkok, the fastest way is via the boat ride, since it avoids traffic and it's cheap. First, we took the BTS to Saphan Taksin, and once we're out from the station we followed the crowd and saw Sathorn Pier barely 3 minutes away. At the pier though, it could be confusi

The Latest Din Tai Fung

More than 2 years ago, I visited the first Din Tai Fung in KL for the launch of its new menu and to witness the preparation of the 18-fold Xiao Long Bao.

Delicious and Affordable Chinese New Year Menu

Delicious and Affordable Chinese New Year Menu

Dining in hotel restaurants would cost easily more than RM1k++ per table, and they usually don't have the option of doing it for less than
