Anyway, today was the day for me to try to complete my BKK to-eat list! I woke up as early as I could to make a trip to Jok Prince for porridge because a colleague had told me it was '很！好！吃！‘ The nearest BTS stop to Jok Prince is Saphan Taksin and its a short walk from there.. I spent longer than needed because I somehow just couldn't locate it using Google maps. When I gave up and looked around, I saw it nearby..
Lol.. And there was a queue so I happily joined it..
The big vat of porridge. Not that pretty but should be yummy hoh?
The queue hardly seemed to move... And I started wondering if I was at the right queue. I asked the person in front of me and my question was overheard by the lady (boss) who promptly informed me that the queue is for takeaways and I should just take a seat. I was led to a seat, and given a menu. I had to try hard for someone to take my order. And finally.....
It was interesting, because the porridge had a smoky and slightly charred taste. I felt it was treading a fine line between chao tar (burnt) and porridge wok hei (if there is such a thing) and the wok hei won, haha. The meat was vv yummy and tender! In all, I really enjoyed the porridge,got to come back and eat it soooon..
I spent some time walking up and down, so I took a pic of the shop to ensure I don't miss it next time Hahaha.

| Jok Prince! |
On the CP Express...
Off the CP Express and the walking starts!
Walk...
Walk...
Up and down, up and down Tang Hua Seng Dept Store... In search of the elusive duck stall...
And finally, I asked a stall owner and was directed to the stall. Thank you Stall Owner, because I'm sure wouldn't have been able to locate it on my own.. The signboard has a duck on it. Can you see it below??
Nah, I drew an arrow pointing at it... How to find right?!
Haha, anyway I crossed over and ordered a bowl of duck noodles from the lady standing at that small space..
Unexpectedly there are seats further in! Sat down to wait for the noodles huehur... At this point in time, perspiration was flowing freely all over the place, seriously...
The soup was super hot! I burnt my tongue. Pretty light soup and soft duck slices. I found this quite forgettable though and felt abit sad that I perspired so much to eat it.
After finishing the noodles, I made my way back, but not before I stopped by Kanom Chin Namya in a small alley along Tang Hua Seng Dept store for some laksa.
Can choose the items I wanted, abit like yong tau fu style? The ladies selling the laksa were pretty helpful and friendly which was nice.
Quite light and yummy! I enjoyed it!
After finishing all the food... My next stop was Central World, to buy Bake cheese tarts. LOL. Ok ok I know, it's available in SG too. But I still wanted to bring some home.
On the way back to the pier...
Came across this Thai Crepe shop. It looked yummy so I bought some!
They were even better than I expected. Crispy, fragrant, sweet and chewy. Thumbs UP for Khun Dao!!!
Moving on..
Back on CP Express...
Passing by Siam Paragon, thought the floor of Sealife Ocean World is so pretty haha..
Finally! At Centralworld, Bake
Bought a box and started to made my way back to the hotel. Along the way, I saw some Jeremyville Community Service Announcements on the walls. (Delayed googling informed me that there was a Jeremyville exhibit at Centralworld). I really identified with some of the messages..
Especially this one. I have to constantly remind myself that have the power to do this!
Heeeeya!!!!!
Couldn't resist buying this cutely bottled milk from a clean food type food exhibition. Spent a long time taking pictures of this, trying to get a good light on this bottle! This the best I came up with before I moved on...
Last view of Pratunam area for this trip!
The last item on my foodie list was to buy alot of mini breads from DK Bakery that I really liked. It was not a short walk from Chong Nongsi.... But I pushed on.. For DK.. However.... When I reached the place... The shutters.... Were down........... I was like.. Wth..... And left empty handed and upset.. RARRRRRRR
Rushed back to the hotel as I was supposed to check out by 5pm. I think I reached the hotel at 5pm. OMG... I flew in, washed up, grabbed my bags, and ran out. I then proceeded to pack my baga in the toilet because I was shy to show everyone what I had in my bags. The toilet had no ventilation and I swear.. I lost 1kg of water through perspiration.. I should have just been thickskinned and packed in comfort...

| Back bye Glow Trinity @ Silom! |

| Nice looking place I never went at e lobby |
Since it was dinner time, I stopped by a wanton noodle shop near to Silom mrt that I had been eyeing for a while.
Looks popular!
Pretty helpful service crew
And tada!
It was quite satisfying! After adding in some of the sauces provided, it had a spicy savoury taste I really enjoyed! It didn't have that pork lardy taste that sabsab has, and the quantity was like more than twice??
After finishing up, I made my way to the airport. The queues for check in, and at immigrations, were so crazy, i kept complaining to myself under my breath...but anyway I made it into the plane eventually... And take offf!!! Byebye Bangkok! I had a great trip! XOxO.
