Movie Date With My Sweetheart

Last Saturday, We went out to see a movie and to have lunch at the Mall Bangkapi. It is about 1 hour and half travel from our place by bus.


The Mall Bangkapi


Family Celebration Day last Weekend


There was a ferris wheel in front of the mall and a small program in the afternoon

We've decided to watch "Brothers" because that was the only new movie on that day and we always have a movie date on weekends specially if there is an interesting film to watch. Check this link at you tube to see the movie trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwabsKiaRIE

The story is about a young man comforts his older brother's wife and children after he goes missing in Afghanistan. Starring Natalie Portman, Tobey Maguire,and Jake Gyllenhaal; directed by Jim Sheridan. A good movie about family. I was teary eyed during and at the end of the movie.

After the movie, we ate at the Japanese restaurant in the mall. I was craving for seafoods yakisoba and deep fried dumplings. I enjoyed the food here but the price is really expensive.

The Filipino Restaurant Here In Bangkok

I went out for lunch this afternoon to meet my future business partner. She's been here in Thailand for so long and her family is also here. She invited me to eat at a Filipino restaurant located at Pridi Banomyong (aka Phra Khanong) Soi 40.

I rode bus 113 from Minburi then, went off at Ramkamhaeng Mall and transferred to bus 40. After I reached Phrakhanong station in BTS, I called her to meet me there as I didn't know how to get there at our meeting place. I worried that I got lost that day.

While waiting for her, I looked around and took a picture of what I found in that place.

The place I was at. They call this BTS Station (or the MRT counterpart in the Philippines)Phrakhanong

I glanced at the BTS route map.

I saw this interesting vehicle that looks similar to ours. They call it "tuktok"

The name of the restaurant is "Kumpleto" which means "complete" in the Filipino language. I looked at their menu for the day and I was surprised because they have caldereta (beef in yummy sauce) and bulalo (beef and bone marrow soup with cabbage) which are my favorite Filipino food. So we ordered them, not knowing that the bulalo soup we ordered was already good for 3-4 people and we were only two. The price per order is 250baht 😉

Caldereta- yummy sauce and meat. I will post my recipe there on my other blog "Food Tripping and Recipes", once I already tried cooking this.

Bulalo- I don't think my Sweetheart will love this because he likes saucy meat food like adobo, estofado, and caldereta but not this kind of food. But I really love this food because of the soup and the bone marrow so yummylicious! 😍

They also have a mini variety store inside the restaurant where you can buy Filipino products like canned and instant goods, snacks, hotdogs, and other processed meat.

Likewise, they have a social networking site to endorse their products and the Filipino restaurant.

I had fun eating there and I am looking forward to coming back soon. Now I know where to go if I am craving Filipino food... 😍
