KFC egg tarts [in Thailand]

Rating: 5 / 5 stars!!!

Love at first BITE! I really love the egg tarts from KFC. It's a little bit sweeter than the egg tarts from the ones that I tried before back in New York City's dim sum restaurants / Chinese bakeries. The egg tart crust isn't dry either. These egg tarts costs 19 Baht each (63 cents USD). I think the price is reasonable. I forgot how much egg tarts costs back in America; probably less than $1 USD each. Sadly, these egg tarts are only available in Thailand and maybe neighboring Asian countries as well. Gotta try these at least once! :)

My cousin finally treated me to my birthday dinner...2 months later here at Hanaya. It's my first time here and this place is secretly hidden in an alleyway. The place was a bit crowded and my relatives and I got here at around 7pm on a Saturday night. We ordered appetizers along with our entrees. The California rolls were great. We had about 1 piece each since there were 6 of us total and 6-8 pieces of California rolls. I got the tempura set and it came with miso soup, rice, tempura (shrimp, fish, and vegetables), and assorted vegetables. The only problem with this meal set or any other meal set is that they served Thai jasmine rice and not Japanese sushi rice. I mean we are eating in a Japanese Restaurant, they should have served Japanese rice. My cousin also ordered more side dishes (i.e. tofu side dish and okonomiyaki). The okonomiyaki was delicious and I had about 3 pieces since I was so full from my tempura set meal. 

The service could have been better. Since we were in a more of a private room area, the staff wasn't around as much. We actually went to get the teapot to fill up our tea cups. Overall, food was good and I would return to try other dishes and the okonomiyaki again.

Homemade oatmeal raisin cookies [Food Network recipe]

YES! Another successful attempt in baking a batch of cookies from scratch. This time I baked oatmeal raisin cookies since my aunt requested me to try and bake these cookies. I downloaded the recipe from Food Network's website and searched for "oatmeal raisin cookies." I chose the recipe that wasn't complicated and/or had little ingredients to work with. The recipe called for 2 table spoons of molasses, but I didn't have this ingredient so I used 2 tablespoons of maple syrup instead. I baked more than 20 cookies total even though the recipe said it would yield 1 dozen cookies. Of course, the cookies tasted great and my aunt really liked the cookies. Her comment was to put less raisins. Here is the recipe below:

Chewy Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies [Recipe courtesy of Food Network Magazine]

• Total Time: 40 min [Prep time: 20 min, Cook time: 15 min]
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cups rolled oats
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup raisins

Directions:

Combine the oats, flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Beat the butter, sugar and molasses in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth, about 2 more minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low, add the flour mixture and beat until combined. Stir in the raisins by hand. For the best flavor and texture, cover the dough and chill at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Form the dough into 12 balls, about 2 tablespoonfuls each, and arrange 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten with the back of a fork. Bake until the cookies are golden, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.

Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies [Hershey's Kitchen recipe]

This was my first time baking chocolate chip cookies from scratch. I downloaded the recipe from Hershey's Kitchen website last month and baked these cookies yesterday evening. I followed the baking instructions and I baked about 40 cookies total (and not 60 cookies per the recipe). It was a success! I'm so happy that the cookies turned out great. Here is the recipe below. [BTW, I brought regular chocolate chips. I also didn't add any chopped nuts into my cookies.]

• 1 teaspoon baking soda 
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Japanese Goodies from Narita Airport

On my last day in Japan, I used up all of the remaining money that I had and brought a bunch of Japanese goodies at Narita Airport. This where you can buy some of the best Japanese snacks for your family and friends. I also highly recommend to check out the grocery stores in Japan since they would sell Japanese snacks too (obviously) and it's a bit cheaper than the convenient stores (e.g. 7-Eleven, FamilyMart, or Lawson 100 Yen Shop). However, the grocery stores don't have everything though.  I brought the following at the airport:

• Alfort White Chocolate for 105 Yen (About $1.35 USD)
• Alfort Chocolate for 105 Yen (About $1.35 USD)
• Imaccha Chocolate Daifukui for 525 Yen (About $6.75 USD)
• 4 boxes of Green Tea Mochi (Daifukui) for 1000 Yen (About $12.85 USD)
• 2 boxes Pocky Panda for 168 Yen (About $2.16 USD)
• White Chocolate Kit Kat 126 Yen (About $1.62 USD)
• Strawberry Kit Kat 136 Yen (About $1.75 USD)
• Yubari Melon Kit Kat 136 Yen (About $1.75 USD)
• 1 box of Green Tea [Matcha] Kit Kat; there are 10 packs inside for 1,360 Yen (About $17.45 USD)
• Cheesecake Kit Kat "Yokohama Edition," there are 12 mini packs inside for 840 Yen (About $10.80 USD)
• Annin Dofu Kit Kat, there are 12 mini packs inside for 840 Yen (About $10.80 USD)
• 2 boxes of ROYCE' Nama Chocolate Au Lait Flavor for 1,348 Yen (About $17.80 USD) - Brought from the "ANA FESTA kiosk." The Kit Kats at this kiosk were probably more expensive by like 5 Yen and you don't get a free Kit Kat pack even if you brought a lot.

Yup, these are the things that I brought from the airport. A lot of stuff, right? ;)

ROYCE' Nama Chocolate (Au Lait Flavor)

Website: http://www.e-royce.com/english/product_nama.html

Rating: 5 / 5 Stars!!!

The 1st time that I ever tried ROYCE' Nama Chocolates (Au Lait flavor) was from my grad. school friend. The chocolate is smooth, soft, and melts in your mouth. It's so GOOD! You would use the tiny spatula that was provided to pick up the cubed chocolates to eat. These chocolates also kinda reminds me of a chocolate truffle that I ate a very long time ago and I don't recall the brand. So, back in July our neighbors brought us a box from their trip to Japan and I was so happy that they brought these for us. During my recent trip to Japan, I also brought two boxes of these at Narita Airport during my flight back to Bangkok and it costs 693 Yen a box (About $8.89 USD). I wanted to buy more, but I was afraid that the chocolate would melt and I want to buy other Japanese goodies at the airport.

I would highly recommend for everyone to try ROYCE' Nama Chocolates when you visit Japan. There are other flavors too and I have tried the Au Lait flavor thus far. ROYCE' offers many other products so just browse around their website. There are outlets in Thailand that sells ROYCE' but there aren't any outlets in the USA.

Sakura Macha Kit Kat

Rating: 4 / 5 Stars

My grad. school friend when to Japan for about 1 week back in February 2011 and brought back some "Sakura Macha" flavored Kit Kat for me and my other grad. school friends. The Kit Kat tasted pretty good but the green tea flavor wasn't strong enough. It tasted more of a vanilla flavor. There are 4 Kit Kat sticks in total (2 in each small package). This type of Kit Kat could only be found in Japan or on a website that sells Japanese candies/snacks.

HOT POT Buffet @ Fashion Island Mall

Rating: 3.75 / 5 Stars

Food coma is bound to happen after you come out eating from HOT POT Buffet. I wanted to eat here for quite awhile now but didn't get a chance until yesterday. Wednesdays is the best day to come to HOT POT Buffet since they offer 25% off your entire meal. It's usually 290 Baht (almost $10 US) per person without the discount.  Not a bad deal indeed. I came here with my parents just to have an early New Years 2011 celebration. We got there around 2:30pm and waited about 30 minutes to be seated. This place was busy and there was a long queue. The place gives your party 90 minutes to eat. It's plenty of time to eat, relax, and enjoy your meal.

I thought that this places was quite small for a buffet. It felt kinda cramped too. The isle where you go get your food is narrow. I don't know if the other HOT POT Buffets franchises are like this though. Anyway...HOT POT Buffet is a combination suki (hot pot) and food buffet all in one. You can get unlimited beverages, hot pot food items, dim sum, sushi, salad bar, and dessert. I thought that sushi was delicious. There were a few California rolls that was prepared in different ways (i.e.: California rolls with small roe on the outside, or California rolls topped with shrimp and mayo). The hot pot food items were decent. Plenty for meat, fishballs, and vegetables to make your hotpot meal. For dessert, you get ice cream or create your own shaved ice dessert.

I would come back here again at the Fashion Island branch but probably at 11am when the mall opens. The place looked kinda unorganized during the busy hours and some of the food wasn't being refilled by staff.

Ovaltine Nature Select Soy

Rating: 5 / 5 Stars!!!

This isn't your typical Ovaltine drink. Many of you may have seen the coco malt flavor Ovaltine at your grocery store, but not Ovaltine in soybean powder form. For the past few months I have seen the Thai advertisements on TV for Ovaltine Nature Select Soy. I was a bit iffy about buying the product at first because I was scared that the soy drink would taste terrible. But, I got to sample the soy drink at BigC a couple of weeks ago and I have been hooked on the drink ever since.

There are about 15 single pouches in the Ovaltine Nature Select Soy pack. It costs about 90-100 Baht (around $3 US). All you have to do is pour in hot water into a mug with the soybean powder. This drink tastes like real soy milk and it doesn't taste very sweet too. Highly recommended!

Jele Super Light [Orange Flavor]

Rating: 5 / 5 Stars!!!

You can get this drink in the supermarket (i.e. BigC) in Thailand. It comes in a 6-pack for about 17 Baht (60 cents US). I never saw this drink in the US before either.

Well, this drink is a combination of Jello and juice. I noticed that there is a difference between Jele Super Light and Jele Light. There's tiny coconut/lychee chunks in the Jele Super Light. I have only tried the Orange flavor for both Jele drinks. It's a yummy and refreshing drink on a hot day. :)

Rating: 4 / 5 Stars

I haven't eaten at Sizzler in years!!! I think the last time I went was about 5 years ago in Thailand and probably over 10 years in NYC. I used to go to the Sizzler located at Rego Park (Queens) in NYC, but before I came to Thailand I saw that Sizzler closed down and is now a bank.

Anyway, my grad. school friends and I had lunch at Sizzler a few days ago. I got the Crumbed Fish entrée for 179 Baht (about $5-6 US) and it also included unlimited helpings at the salad bar. Both this entrée and there was the Pepper Pork Loin entrée that are currently on promotion for 179 Baht each. The Crumbed Fish entrée looked pretty small but I helped myself with the unlimited servings at the salad bar though. I was so stuffed after eating soup, salad, my entrée, fruit, and half of the green tea mousse (dessert). The Crumbed Fish entrée was good and I choose the buttered rice as the side dish. You could have order the baked potato, French fries, or the butter rice side dish. I also really enjoyed the food that I sampled at the salad bar. Everything was very fresh and I saw that the staff stocked up the replenished food at the salad bar often.

I would definitely go back to Sizzler and probably try the Pepper Pork Loin entrée. But, I think I would go to the Sizzler at Fashion Island Mall, because it's closer to my house. :P

Fuji Japanese Restaurant @ Fashion Island Mall

Fuji Japanese Restaurant @ Fashion Island Mall [2nd visit here]

Rating: 4 / 5 Stars

Fuji Japanese Restaurant is another typical Japanese franchise restaurant that you'll see in many shopping malls in Thailand. I'm such a fan of Fuji and I just love the food here. Everything is very tasty and fresh. Sadly, it seems like I'm never full just eating only 1 set entrée. So, I came here with my parents for dinner today and I ordered the Futomaki Set for about 140 Baht (about $4-$5 US). The Futomaki Set consists of 4 different pieces of futomaki sushi rolls, a yakisoba dish, miso soup, a fried fish appetizer, and kimchi appetizer. I really enjoyed this set entrée but I wasn't full from eating everything. :( I ordered an additional entrée and it was the cold soba noodles with dipping sauce on the side [I don't remember the exact name of the dish, but you can point to the picture on the menu.] It was good and it finally made me full.

The service here was good. It took about 8-10 minutes for our food to come after placing our order. I would definitely come here again too. This place can get crowded too and the wait could be pretty long. Luckily, my parents and I came here for dinner early. I think we came here for dinner a little bit before 6pm.

To end this blog entry, here is a picture taken from my NOKIA E63. My dad ordered the grilled octopus set [Sorry, I don't remember the exact name!!!]. I thought that I saved a picture the Futomaki Set entrée on my smartphone but apparently I didn't. You can check out Fuji's website to view the menu. :)

Today is Mother's Day in Thailand!!! So like a good daughter that I am, I treated my mom and dad out to lunch. I really wanted to eat Korean food so badly because I haven't had any since I came to Thailand in March. :) This would also be my first time eating Korean food in Thailand too. We found one place at Crystal Park mall that offered only Korean food and it was Kimju. There was another restaurant at Crystal Park but it was a combination of Japanese & Korean cuisine and I don't recall the name of that place.

First, I looked at the menu for KimJu to see if this place offered a wide selection of Korean food and this place offered a decent selection. The pictures of the Korean food on the menu looked tasty, so I wanted to give this place a try. My parents and I didn't order any Korean BBQ entrées because the hostess said that we would have to sit outdoor dining area to BBQ the meat at our table. Since it was scorching hot outside, we decided just to order individual dishes and eat indoors with the AC on. :) For lunch, I ordered the Pork Bibimbap. I thought that it wasn't the best that I had. The rice looked and was a bit moist. There weren't any traditional Korean vegetables too. It was just your basic vegetables (i.e.: carrots, zucchini, lettuce, shiitake mushrooms). Plus, they already added a big spoonful of the red hot pepper paste (Gochujang) and I didn't notice until I mixed the rice together. It's like....I didn't even have to add any more of the hot sauce. Sadly, I couldn't even finish this entrée alone because the bibimbap was so spicy! :( I should have informed the waitress not to make the bibimbap spicy. [But usually, from my experience from eating bibimbap the sauce isn't added beforehand though and it's on the side for you to add.] With every entrée, we got some small dishes (i.e.: soup, broccoli, kimchi, and pickled daikon). The sides were very good. Too bad that this place didn't offer a large variety of side dishes though.

The service here was good and quick. It's restaurant is small as well. There were probably 5-6 tables inside and a couple of tables outside the restaurant. I don't know if I'll come back to this place though. The food was OK and it wasn't the best Korean food that I have had.

Rating: 4.5 / 5 stars

Our neighbors invited my parents and I to have dinner at Three Mangoes yesterday. I had a very nice experience. The exterior and interior decor of the restaurant is amazing. The place had a feeling of a local coffee shop. There are small toys being displayed on bookshelves and magazines for people to read. We sat in the air conditioned room [around the cash register area] and I saw that each dining area is unique and different. There is also plenty of outdoor seating where you can enjoy live music at night. Sadly, we didn't sit in the outdoor area [that didn't have shelter] yesterday since it was raining outside. :(

Three Mangoes offers a variety of traditional Thai dishes and desserts [i.e.: cake slices]. I don't remember how many dishes we tried but it was a lot though. I know that I left the restaurant being stuffed. My friend recommended me to try the "3 Mangoes Iced Coffee" since he said it's a popular drink here. You can see from the picture below that there is A LOT of whipped cream in the iced coffee and the drink was very creamy. Most of the entrees came out pretty fast. I had no complaints about any of the entrees because the food was fresh, delicious, and flavorful. For dessert, we ordered and shared three cakes and ice cream. I was a little disappointed with the "Red Velvet Cake" because it's a little bit different from the ones that I tried in the past. The red velvet cake here had strawberry sauce drizzled around the cake. I also thought that the cake was a bit dry. However, the "Crepe Cake" was good and it was moist.

The service was great and as I mentioned before the food came out pretty fast. I would definitely here come again and I would also have to try the tiramisu dessert since I didn't try it yesterday. Plus, I want to dine in the outdoor seating area to listen to some live music! Hopefully it won't rain next time.

Pepsi Cheer

Pepsi Cheer is a limited edition soda offered by PepsiCo during the FIFA 2010 World Cup event. This product is similar to Pepsi GOLD which came out for a limited time during the FIFA 2006 World Cup. I decided to give this soda a try because it's unique and it's a limited edition drink! I don't think you can find this product in the US. I brought this soda from 7-Eleven Thailand for 17 Baht [about 50 cents US]. Overall, this soda is OK. This soda tastes very similar to ginger ale but with the added orange color.

Hachiban Ramen @ Fashion Island Mall

Rating: 3 / 5 stars

Hachiban Ramen is another typical Japanese franchise in Thailand. You'll see this place in many malls or grocery store chains [i.e. TESTCO Lotus] in Thailand. This place is specializes in ramen. The first time that I ever try this place about 5 years ago at TESTCO Lotus in Rangsit.

A few weeks ago, my parents and I came to Hachiban Ramen for dinner. [Originally, my mom wanted to go to Fuji Restaurant, but there were 11 groups of people ahead of us. :P]  It was a Friday night and the place was pretty busy. As we entered the small restaurant, I can clearly see that the place was understaffed. There were a few tables that weren't cleaned up from the customers who had already left. There wasn't a hostess to greet people at the door. The cashier was the only person in the front and she was busy collecting payments.

Well, I ordered a set entrée for dinner. I had the pork ramen set and it came with fried dumplings & a glass of Coke. It was about 100 Baht [around $3 US]. My dad also ordered the same thing as me. My mom just ordered the duck ramen. I thought that my meal was good but the ramen entrée was kinda boring because there weren't many ingredients in the ramen.

The service here that Friday evening was awful. As mentioned earlier, the place was understaffed. It took awhile for my parent's entrees to come too. My dad also ordered another entrée but that never came and he cancelled it because it took FOREVER!!! My dad kept reminding the waitress that his order didn't come yet. I saw that my dad was very pissed off. lolz...And that doesn't happen often too. =X

I would definitely go to Hachiban Ramen again because the ramen is pretty cheap and good. But probably not at Fashion Island Mall though.

My little cousin recommend us (my uncle, her little brother and his friend, and I) to go try ramen at CHABUTON. She said that she came here before with her friends and said that the food is really good. She also said the owner was the winner from a Japanese series called "TV Champion." So, we came here for lunch on this past Saturday and the place was pretty busy. We waited for 10 minutes to be seated. The place was average size too. I ordered the "Shio Tonkosu Ramen" in a small size for 130 Baht [about $4 US]. This ramen was oh so good! The broth is very flavorful. The ramen contains scallions, pickled bamboo shoots, pork, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. My uncle order some fried gyozas (dumplings) for us.  The gyozas came out piping HOT and they were also delicious. These gyozas had a pork & leek filing and they reminded of the dumplings that I can get from Flushing, NYC. For drinks, we all got the iced cold Japanese green tea and it's UNLIMITED REFILLS!!! I think that I drank a lot green tea here because I was so dehydrated prior to coming to the restaurant.

Overall, this places deserves 5 stars in my book. The food was very mouthwatering and delicious. The service was good as well. This place is a MUST TRY!

This would be my first taste of Mexican food in Thailand! The food at Coyote Bar and Grill Sukhumvit didn't disappoint me one bit. My little cousins & their friend and I came here for dinner last Friday night. The place wasn't as packed at around 8pm. We sat on the 2nd floor of the restaurant, because I didn't want to sit at a stool table. There were a few tourists eating at this place too. The decor of the place looks very similar to the Mohegan Sun casino in Connecticut, USA. The food seemed to be a combination of the places that I have ate in NYC before and they are Sophie's Cuban Cuisine and Chipotle Mexican Grill.

We ordered the following:

1. Shrimp Quesadillias for 225 Baht [about $7 US]
2. Chicken Tacos for 355 Baht [about $11 US]
3. Big Burritos for 385 Baht [about $12 US]
4. Chicken Enchiladas for 385 Baht [about $12 US]
5. Four Pepsi's for 70 Baht each - NO FREE REFILLS!!! [about $2.18 US]

The portions were big and very filling. We were all stuffed by the end. The rice and beans tasted very similar to Sophie's Cuban Cuisine. The tacos reminded me of the food from Chipotle Mexican Grill and ingredients in  the tacos were very fresh. The food was full of favor and very mouth watering. I really wanted to give this place 5 stars because the food was extremely good, the decor was amazing, and the atmosphere was good [it was a little bit loud during some moments because people were watching the World Cup]. BUT...when my cousins and I asked if there was a TV upstairs so that we can watch the World Cup and they said yes and there wasn't any TV! You can't get refills for your soda. I think I haven't been to a place where you can't get refills on soda before. So, I had to give a 4.5 stars rating. Oh wells.

25 Baht meals for lunch!

Guay Jub and Pork Balls Noodle Soup [from a food stall at TOPS' supermarket food court @ Fashion Island Mall]

Rating: 5 / 5!!! [For both the guay jub and pork balls noodle soup]

My parents and I go to Fashion Island Mall a lot [almost every week] for the past few months. It's a gigantic mall with many shops, restaurants, a movie theater, a bowling alley, and even karaoke!!! So, when my parents and I went grocery shopping at TOPS' we noticed a food stall that sold food for 25 Baht! Before we usually eat lunch at the food court on the 3rd floor near the movie theater, where some meals cost 30-40 Baht [about $1 to $1.25 US]. We decided to try the guay jub and the pork ball noodle soup for 25 Baht each [about .70 cents US] which is a PRETTY GOOD DEAL. For those who are unfamiliar with "Guay Jub" it's a broad square noodle in a pork soup. I requested to only have crispy pork, fried tofu, egg, and vegetables in my soup. If you wanted all the fixings, there would also be liver and pig blood. If you ordered the "Guay Jub" to go, it would cost you 30 Baht [about $1 US]. The pork ball noodle soup is your standard typical noodle dish. Both of these dishes were very good and it's also probably loaded with MSG. Anyway, I have tried these noodle dishes quiet a few times already but I haven't had a chance to write about it until now [partly because I didn't have time. :P] I wouldn't be full from eating one bowl of guay jub or one bowl of pork ball noodle soup though. I would have to buy dessert afterwards or eat two bowls of either noodle soup just to be full.
