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... 😍

Manic Monday Afternoon

Big smile while having my iced green tea with mousse and loving it!
:D

A new friend of mine invited me to go out on a lunch date this afternoon. I had so much fun as we have some things in common like photography, traveling (lakwatsera), funny and fun to be with, both have a foreigner loved ones, etc.



We ate at one of our favorite restaurants here in Bangkok. We met at Fashion Island's Sizzler's Steak Restaurant. I ordered the beef steak and french fries. While waiting for my main course, I joined her at the salad bar buffet. I got the spinach soup and varieties of salad. We both loved the taste of salad there. And the cost was so cheap as compare to other buffet restaurants.


Salad galore, Watermelon shake, spinach soup and yummy garlic cheese bread :p


Beef steak with french fries for my main course

Chocolate, Blue berry Mousse and yummy jellies for our dessert

After lunch, we took a walk and went to Coffee World Cafe to have a cup of coffee.

It's pretty nice that there's a wifi service for free because I brought my laptop with me this afternoon.



I really had fun today and I am looking forward for our next meeting which is next Friday and we're planning to go somewhere. I do not know the place but I am sure I will enjoy once again. I admire her skills in photography. Thanks, MC! :D
