Khop Chai Laos (Lao P.D.R.) & Sawadeeka Bangkok

It was a pleasant to visit Bangkok again and this time were more on visiting to the sight seeing and non the less the shopping! :)

Next is Lao PDR and now I am updating my blog via mobile & beside the swimming pool at one of the best 5 Star Hotel in Laos. 

Vientiane, Laos is a small city and from the outskirts where I'm staying now, only takes about 10 minutes. From the sight seeing here, Vientiane is a Buddhism country and in a mid of developing, so many investors especially from the China is here. Language frequently spoken are Lao, Thai and coming up with Mandarin.

It is the best in town! :D Hint of brandy was noted, but in actual taste, the alcohol tasted even more. To suit the local taste buds, Vincent's wife have to modify the recipe. :)

KK Eats : Nitrogen Ice Cream by Scoopee, Lintas

The fever of desserts will not end by only coffee houses and cake houses. In Kota Kinabalu, Ice Cream also will be another bonding place with friends and family.

Do you notice about the latest game of Pokemon Go, I did play and it was fun at the first few days. (haha :D) Well, every where I go, there's people playing it. Same goes to the day when we visited Scoopee since we were there collecting some PokeBalls around Lintas area.

- Ice Cream with Honey Comb -

The following will be the video of the nitrogen gas ice cream. I'm guessing the nitrogen was not used to make the ice cream, the gas appeared from the cup below the smaller one with ice cream.

- Ice Cream with Honey Comb -

- Ice Blended Coffee Latte -

 I love both of the ice cream and the coffee. As a preference, the ice cream will be a must try, although it is slightly expensive that the usual.

About the environment, it was superb! We totally love the cozy wood design with decorations in it.

Location :
Lintas Square

Sandakan Eats : Good Taste Bak Kut Teh 【山打根吃】 好味肉骨茶 Nam Tung Street

They say it is the best Bak Kut Teh in Sandakan town. There were friends who like the another one which Nam Choi BKT 南财肉骨茶 and in fact, Nam Choi BKT located at the corner end of Good Taste BKT (same row).

The high lights of Good Taste BKT is their seafood BKT while Nam Choi BKT is their PORK BKT.

- Media highlights -

It was half way lucky that we were only able to taste Good Taste BKT seafood version, while Nam Choi BKT was close on Monday. :(

- Our selection -

We suppose to try their LaiMang (a type of fish) BKT which was famous and didn't get to try it because of the staff that was NOT HELPFUL while she was taking our order. NO RECOMMENDATION etc. HOW WE KNOW WHAT'S THE BEST SELLER? Every where just good food in Sandakan. *Shake Head*

- SEAFOOD BAK KUT TEH -

We had prawn balls, meatballs, fish meat and prawns. In fact, we prefer the original pork Bak Kut Teh that we had normally, as for seafood BKT, the soup base just taste PEPPER, GINGER and relevant spices. Not my kind of selection. :) I love soup and I am very particular with it. ;)

That's all! POKEMON GO fever in town! ;) Be alert!

Location :

Nam Tung street (use Waze to search for the spot, it's that easy)
