it was warren's birthday last weekend,

one could say it was a whole weekend of celebration.

on the eve of his birthday,

it was just the two of us with dinner at banri.
then a dessert date over at dolce.
i had their mango brulee while warren had their smores.
am sorry but i don't understand the fuss over dolce.
yes, the place is nice.
perfect ambience for coffee, some dessert and catching up with friends.
but their cakes, were not much to rave about.
i mean, one could get better dessert fix somewhere else.
i guess in this case, ambience wins!

we went home right before midnight,
so warren had the chance to blow his first mini birthday cake at home.
this cake we got from madeleine at waterfront hotel & casino - lahug, 
it's their gateau and this is all so worth it!
moist chocolate cake, rich choco mousse & creamy custard filling!

this is warren's official birthday cake

that we served after dinner with his family on the day of his birthday.

you might notice the blueberry cheesecake at the back

and think that it's too much dessert for one evening.

then, you don't know how big warren's family is.

both cakes we also got from madeleine

though they might be a little pricey, their cakes are all definitely worth it!!!

after dinner with warren's family
we headed down to alchology to celebrate with his friends.
they just opened their new VIP lounge.
it has about four lounge sets,
it's own comfort room and soon it's own bar.
truly, you'll feel like a VIP being there.
you enjoy the music, feel the energy of the crowd
but in your own little party space.

and this bottle of johnnie walker was followed by two more
that we all ended up so plastered, it was a riot!

i would have wanted to post some photos of the evening
courtesy of alchology's official photographers.
just my luck, the head photographer called me come monday,
reporting that the memory card used that night got busted.
boohoo!

leaving thailand

~ printed blazer, jeans, inner top : PROPS

~ necklace, cuff : pink pvssy {platinum mall, bangkok}

~ layered ring : chinatown, bangkok

~ hand carry luggage : skytravel 

when traveling i always opt for comfortable clothes that keep me warm enough,

you just dunno how cold airports could get.

funny how i had to insert a photo of my very reliable hand carry luggage

which has been with me for years,

all through countless trips and several countries.

the scuff marks that don't go away anymore no matter how i have it cleaned

seem to have given it more charm owing to its history.

and that yellow color was actually what made me fell in love with it from the start.

these are some of the things i never miss eating when am in bangkok

|| nata de coco yogurt ||

i find this one, that you can find at any seven eleven store tastier than the ones we have locally. i always have them for breakfast.

|| milk tea ||

in whatever flavor that suits your fancy

it helps keep you hydrated and fills you up at the same time

especially when you still would wanna go around shopping

|| green mango with thai dip ||

our mangoes here in the philippines, especially cebu are much tastier

but their green mangoes are in no way sour no matter how green they are!

the dip actually consists of chili powder, sugar and salt

and has proven to be really addictive.

you can also dip their very sweet guavas in them.

don't be scared of how spicy it is, it's definitely worth a try!

|| street pad thai ||

oh yes! the best one is the street kind!

you might not be able to find one just anywhere but when you do, indulge!!! 

and make it spicy, it's even much tastier.

you can always have the chili powder separate so as to control the spiciness of the dish.

|| others ||

seafood fried rice, crepe {dessert kind or with ham or bologna} & coffee {just about anywhere}

are the other things to try.

sorry i was not able to take photos of the other three,

just that when i go around suppliers, i don't bring my SLR with me, its way too bulky.

i hope i helped a little with some bangkok tips in these last three blogs.

there are actually more stuff to write about bangkok

but i wouldn't wanna bore you.

maybe on my next trip.

leaving bangkok always seem sad, but there's still no place like home
