Lunch at Padthai Restaurant > Bangkok ~ Thailand < 2013 August 11 (5) > (Bangkok - Ayutthaya - Kuala Lumpur)

Our Thai Friends took us to eat Padthai, the original one. I'm really sorry I don't know where it is, because we go there by car. It's delicious, different with Padthai that we eat at Ruan Mai Loui Restaurant. The price is cheaper too.

There's some kind of Omelet Padthai in here. Some with Oyster, some with Seafood, just order what is your taste.

This is the restaurant name, if you can read Thai, then you might be know where it is.
Is there someone that can translate it for me or maybe you know where it is?

Our drink cup, we will drink softdrink.

Advertiser, called "lalapan" at Indonesia.. :)

This is my favourite drink in Mang Engking, it's called Cincau (grass jelly/leaf jelly) Ice. Usually the colour is black, but in this restaurant called green glass jelly. It's delicious and really traditional. Serve with coconut milk and palm sugar, with ice. It's so fresh.

2013 Chinese New Year Dinner Reunion

Every Chinese Year, my big family always gathering together to celebrate it. Usually, we celebrate twice, Chinese New Year Eve and Chinese New Year. Just like New year 1st January.

In Chinese New Year Eve, my mom and aunty cook a lot of food. We gathering and eat reunion dinner before Chinese New Year. It is also traditional for every family to thoroughly cleanse the house, in order to sweep away any ill-fortune and to make way for good incoming luck. Windows and doors will be decorated with red colour paper-cuts and couplets with popular themes of "good fortune" or "happiness", "wealth", and "longevity." Other activities include lighting firecrackers and giving money in red paper envelopes.

And when the Chinese New Year come, young people give New Year greetings for elder. We ussually wear red clothes.

Kedai Beringin > Semarang ~ Central Java ~ Indonesia

Many restaurant in Semarang, which actually I’m not too familiar. Everytime I went to Semarang, mostly I ate at the Department Store’s food court. This time, I try the most crowded restaurant, Kedai Beringin.

Kedai Beringin located at Jalan Beringin I/9 Semarang 50132. (Phone 62-24-3554292).

I ordered Nasi Hainan Campur, which the waitress said, it’s the favourite dishes in there. But so far, the food is not bad. And the price also not too expensive. You can find Indonesian dishes or oriental dishes in here.

Never thought that time move quickly. It’s already night, and it’s time for dinner. We pick up one of my aunty, then went to Pecel Solo Restaurant,

It’s located at Jl. Palagan Tentara Pelajar No. 52, Yogyakarta 55581, Indonesia (Phone: (0274) 866 588), just beside Hyatt Hotel.

The place is Javanesse style. And it really suitable for tourists. Even it’s expensive for local people, because the food is almost tradisional food which we can get cheaper in the traditional market. But, it’s okay since we take our guest from China.

For the drink, we order Magic Drink. Why Magic, just see picture below.

The 1st appearance of the drink. When we order the drink, and 1st appearance when it come out is like this, Red Colour. It taste usual, only sweet.

Once we stirr it, then it become Yellow. It’s magic. And the taste was sweet-sour. It’s delicious.
