Cooking class @ Silom Thai Cooking School


Deciding what to do as a group activity in Bangkok is not easy, but neither is it difficult either. My friends and I are so different in personality, so different in background and history, that to connect everyone with one common thing is almost impossible.

But if there is one thing we can quite agree on is .. FOOD. I mean, who doesn't love food?!

 So I decided to enroll us in a cooking class!!

Since we were to stay in Le Meridien Bangkok along Bangrak road, I Googled cooking classes nearby and found Silom Thai Cooking School. After checking the reviews online, I was SUPER convinced that this will be a super activity for EVERYONE!

My initial reservation was to do it during lunch, but some reservations were mixed up and we ended up doing it for dinner. WHICH WAS A MUCH BETTER CHOICE!

We had to skip the market tour (breakfast and lunch have market tours, and 100 BAHT more expensive) and proceed with the cooking class - which was no big deal, because by evening we were all BEAT.

LOVED OUR CHEF / INSTRUCTOR!!!!!!!


Ms Kiki had us rolling on the floor laughing out loud since the minute she spoke. It was super crazy. I never thought a cooking class can be that fun and I love how everything was so visual and pretty, as it should! Everything was so colourful. We were paired with a young couple from Hong Kong and Korea who also did not escaped from Kiki's teases ^_^

We learned 5 main dishes (since this is our first - well Yuen's second) : 1) Tom Yum Goong (Shrimp Tom Yum) 2) Green Curry Chicken 3) Pad Thai 4) Minced Chicken Salad 5) Mango Sticky Rice 

 We were hands on in most of the dishes and the ingredients ourselves, like Tom Yum Goong, Green Curry Chicken and Pad Thai - where we prepared, cut our ingredients and cook them. Meanwhile for chicken salad and mango sticky rice we assisted Kiki with stomping, cutting and preparations only.

I used to love Thai Food, NOW I FREAKING LOVE THEM! Now that I know they use so little oil, with fresh ingredients and ala minute way of cooking it - I love Thai food even more.

Opt for a cooking class next time!

Pulau Sapi @ Tunku Abdul Rahman Parks

Before I proceed to my write up on Pulau Sapi, let me do the duty to carefully explain to you why there are so many people talking about so many islands at the mention of the word, Sabah. Reason why I'm doing so is because whenever people visit KK City, they have very limited time in exploring most of the natural gorgeous attractions, and sometimes ended up just moving around KK City. And when one does that, people would usually end up asking, why are there so many mentions of islands when we get to experience none?  As you can see from the previous Matthew Paul map below; Sabah is situated close to top north of the Borneo Island. That said, it's a privilege to say that tons of islands are under the local towns and cities surrounding the shores of this particular part of Borneo island. From Sipitang (look out from South left), imagine yourself  "walking" from the Sipitang's shore / beach walk up slowly to Menumbuk, Kuala Penyu, Pulau Tiga, Kota Kinabalu, Tun

Pulau Mantanani // Mantanani Island

I started off my 10 day break with a day trip to Mantanani. I wanted to visit Mantanani for THE LONGEST TIME, but couldn’t get around doing so all these while, either I haven’t saved up enough or basically, just haven’t got the weekends to spare it with.   Some folks call it the mermaid island because of the dugong sightings underwater – which is seriously magical. Some folks even say you could catch a glimpse of dolphins. They’ve had photos with it, but I personally have never seen them before.  Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to share with you why this trip was important.    If you see the map above, I’ve yellow squared Mantanani Island in comparison to the journey from Kota Kinabalu. If you’re not a map kind of person, that is --- quite far. Not Sipadan (Tawau, Sandakan, Lahad Datu kind of far) but far enough to be a put off to some locals at times. Previously, you’d have to drive up north for approximately 1.5 hours, or take a bus to Kota Belud, to
