MBK treats

More often than not, we made MBK our backup shopping cum makan heaven should GF want some more shopping before the night markets open or for some after lunch exercise.

Remembered reading so much about the Loh-Bak in MBK. Figured out we could give it a try since we were there. Situated in a food-court at the top level of MBK, one has to purchase coupons and use the coupons to pay for the food. Couldn't really figure out the logic behind it but we had only one goal, that was to try the Loh-Bak there.

The food courts there had so many variety. From beef noodles to phad thai to Japanese food. And all the food looks so tempting. GF adviced that we should just try the Loh-bak and reserve our stomach for some other food later on. I agree.

Costing 180BHT for the set, it comes with a whole piece of deboned pig trotter, 2 eggs, freshly cooked vegetables and preserved vegetables ( Kiam Chai ). The Braised meat was absoluting delicious. Soft and full of flavour it simply melts in the mouth. Actually i prefers a bowl of warm "bey" ( porridge ) to go with the loh bak than the rice.

Please do try this if u happens to be in MBK. you won't be disappointed. Oh and please dun forget to try the mango sticky rice there too. We got the 80BHT serving and the portion was quite reasonable. The mango was very sweet, the rice cooked just right. The sesame seed sprinkled on top lifted the taste of the rice. The coconut milk used was very fresh and that makes the whole dish so fantastic. We couldn't have enough of this in BKK and even now GF still suffers from Post-Bkk-Syndrome and i have to tao-bao Mango sticky rice from Bali-Thai to stop-gap her craving.




We also had Bird's Nest Soup and Sharkfin Soup at "Lam Seng" ( didn't really catch the name ). Actually the interesting thing about us is that in Singapore i eat more than GF. But in BKK, she's the QUEEN of the hill. Still filling full after the Loh bah Lunch, GF quickly brought me to this restuarant for Sharksfin Soup and Bird's Nest Soup.

I dun really know how to appreciate such delicacies so i just eat with GF by my side explaining how and why the soups were delicious... For the first time in BKK, i was really full.....
