In Tater's Town III: Shop Till Massage

On Monday morning, both Tater and KH donned their skanky pants ( running tights ) and headed to Lumphini Park for a jog. Being the lazy pig I am, I stayed in bed. When they got home, KH and I went out for a local breakfast while Tater stayed home to have hamster food and milk. After so many years in the SEA region, I would have thought that his stomach adjusted to rice and noodles in the morning. Hehe. Just down the street was a small food court with quite a good selection. I ordered a bowl of wantan  noodles and KH went for the soup noodles with duck meat. Hot and hearty. Got a couple lattes at Alex Coffee  before heading back up. Arranged to have lunch with SK at Siam Paragon. Believe it or not, we went back to Hokkai-Don  just for the chutoro sashimi !!! Ordered four portions and moved on to MAiSEN  for some katsu . Definitely go for the premium meat. The shrimp  katsu  sandwich is quite good too. One small thing though, their cabbage salad ain't no where as good as Sabo

Coffee ( or Cock ) Woke up bright and early on Sunday cause both of us were horny and we weren't gonna get anymore sleep without settling our woodies. It was an intense session but the apartment was big enough that we didn't wake our host. Tater brought us to breakfast at Dexter , a very hipster cafe with a cute barista.

To replenish my protein, I ordered the Austrian coffee. It came disassembled where I had to pour two shots of espresso over a raw egg yolk and then mix in honey. Not exactly a drink to sip, more like a drink to chug down while its hot. Church After breakfast, KH and I went to church near the US Embassy. The Holy Redeemer Church is special because it looks like a Catholic Wat. From the outside, the main church building looks like a typical Thai viharn with a multi-tiered roof. It was a suggestion from t

Not a month had passed since I went to Northern Thailand and I was back again in its fabulous capital. My last visit to Bangkok was a huge trip with the BFF in 2008. I was there because KH was on seminar there and we had promised Tater that we would visit him at his new home. The flight to Don Mueng was uneventful with no cuties to speak about. At the airport we encountered a crazy line for the public taxis. Even bumped into the guy who sat next to me. He made for the airport taxi counter and we followed him. THB 700 and one hour of traffic jams later we arrived at Chong Nonsi BTS. The weather was hot, hot, hot. Found Tater's apartment after a bit of hunting and he welcomed both of us warmly. He got us settled in our room which had a dressing table decorated with photos that we had taken together! All of us had a long chat at the living room till dinner time. Our host suggested a hipster Isan restaurant at Silom called SomtumDer . Very authentic, very spicy. As expected, the wai
