Happy Valentine’s Day ♥♥♥

I still remember vividly the 1st time he gave me a flower. It was not on Valentine’s day or on my burfday, not on our anniversary or monthsary but its on one of our random trip to Penang. I’ve alwiz complained to him why I did not receive any flower from him throughout our relationship at that time and maybe because of that, he bought one for me when this teenage girl approach us while we were enjoying the sea breeze in Gurney drive.

That was a year plus ago and the rose still stay with us until today although covered in dust :p

I’ve also complained to him how not romantic he is and how he never surprise me but today, I almost can’t believe my eyes when I receive this

Cabbages and Condoms Restaurant @ Sukhumvit, Bangkok

It’s already close to 3pm when we are done with the check-in, unpack the luggage and freshen up. We were famished and headed directly to Cabbages and Condoms restaurant for lunch. I’ve heard about this unique restaurant previously and since it’s within walking distance from our hotel, we decided to check it out.

So, what does cabbages has to do with condoms..??…?  I have no idea at all but here’s a little introduction on the restaurant concept.
Taken from their site:

“Our restaurant was conceptualized in part to promote better understanding and acceptance of family planning and to generate income to support various development activities of the Population and Community Development Association (PDA),a non profit organization inThailand. And remember, our food is guaranteed not to cause pregnancy. “

yeahh… so dont worry, you wont get a baby after the meal but might get a tiny hole in your pocket.. pretty pricey I would say. I cant tell you the cost breakdown because I lost the receipt but the total bill came up to almost 1000 baht 

There’s al fresco and air-conditioning dining. We chose the latter as we needed to cool ourselves after a long walking under the sun…

Sprite to quench our thirst while browsing thru the menu.

We decided to try their claypot prawn with glass noodle, one of the must try dish in Thailand. It’s flavorful but the prawn is slightly overcooked. We enjoyed it though

The mixed vegetables was awesome. I love the sauce/seasoning used which goes very well with white rice

and no meal is complete without tom yum in Thailand We ordered the tom yum seafood in hotpot for two.

“spicy or no spicy”, the wait staff asked. We answered spicy but turned out it wasn’t spicy at all and lacked a hint of sourness. The ingredients used are fresh but the straw mushroom drowns them…. it’s just too much. I guess its cheap there :p

We didn’t order much as we wanted to leave some space for T&K seafood in Chinatown after some shopping spree in Chatuchak but guess what…. it started to rain once we reached Mo Chit BTS station (to Chatuchak market) ~!@#$%^&*+#@!  It’s 11 station from Asok and costs 40 baht per trip. Haihhh!!! ended up in Paragon Siam

Back to the restaurant… we explored around after the meal just to snap this few mannequin dress in condom for your viewing….. hehehee!! nice right and very creative….

and before you leave, feel free to take some souvenir home

So, what size are you???  hmmmm…..

 

To get there: From Asok BTS station, walk towards Nana BTS direction. You’ll pass by Grand Sheraton Hotel and Times Square on your right. Look for Soi 12 and turn left. Cabbages and Condoms restaurant is 5-8 min walks from the junction on your left. Look for the signboard below.

Bangkok 2011: Accommodation @ CityPoint Hotel Bangkok, Asok

There’s no mini travelogue for this trip like Taiwan and Hong Kong because we didn’t really plan for it. It was a last minute decision and heck…… the flight tickets costs a bomb. Lucky for us, mydaling managed to grab a good deal from Groupon for CityPoint Hotel, in the center of Bangkok. For only RM388 without breakfast, we stayed at this newly opened boutique hotel near Asok BTS or Sukhumvit MRT station, 3-5 min walks for 3 nights. It is a shoplot turned hotel, so don’t expect any view.

We were a bit skeptical at first but thank god all went well. We emailed the hotel to check for room availability before purchasing the offer. They replied a day after and everything flow smoothly then. Upon reaching the hotel, the friendly reception greeted us and the bellboy helped us with our luggage. We showed them the voucher and our passport for check-in and everything is taken care off.

The lobby and waiting area

Dining area

The bellboy leads us to our room on level 4 and later sent us the wireless login username and password. Free WIFI and LAN access is provided for each room or you can use the public computer at the lobby.

Our standard room has all the basic necessities and most important, clean. The bed were comfortable and the extra soft pillows became my bolster

This hotel had just opened in April, therefore everything is pretty new. The lighting in the room is good too.

The bathroom is pretty spacious too. The shower gel provided is a Press + Wash concept and is imported from Germany (from their site)

I love rain shower but had hard time adjusting the right temperature. It either gets too hot or too cold, never warm
but other than that, overall is good… I don’t mind staying here again as it is affordable (more $$$ to shop *wink) and pretty convenient

To get there : The express train from Suvarnabhumi airport (post coming soon) to Bangkok city will stop at Phaya Thai (N2) station, an interchange station. Walk to the BTS Sukhumit Line for train to Asok (E4) station.
Price: 30baht, 6 station away.
Once you reach, look for exit 4. You can see Urban Retreat Spa (very nice, post coming soon) at the side of the exit. CityPoint Hotel is just a street behind it.  There are 2 signboards that will lead you to the hotel.
