Mos (def best) Burger

Ever since I got here my brothers have been bragging to me about this burger place called Mos Burger that finally opened up in Thailand at this huge mall called Paragon. I never wanted to try it because I wasn't a big burger fan.

This coaster came with our drinks, Ian took one home because this was so cute! This place definitely made me happy through food. I can't deny that. 

Their fries are the best fries I've had in Thailand. Since it's so difficult to find good fries here in this country. They can definitely compare to Chik-Fil-A fies, and those are my favorite. 

My brother ordered a regular cheese burger, this was pretty good. I know this looks like a McDonalds burger but imagine the Mc D. burger that tastes 1000000 times better. yeah... 

 

I ordered shrimp fillet burger, this was honestly the best burger I've ever had in this life. Every single bite I could feel the little shrimp swimming on my tongue. This was SOOOOOOOOO good!!!!! 

Ian ordered some special cheese burger. This was really really good too. I took a bite and when the red marinara sauce touched my tongue it was like an explosion of taste in my mouth. I'm not over exaggerating. He also said that this was the best burger he's had in his life and he's American born. 

My brother mentioned to me that this place is usually really really packed and people wait around forever for their burgers. Because they make each burger individually, so each of them is fresh and very VERY SPECIAL. OMG, I am now a Mos Burger fan. Another thing, these don't taste like juicy fat burgers, and no, you can't taste the fat or feel fat eating these.

Japanese Hamburgers Kill

My mom makes these killer Japanese Hamburgers. It's weird because when I think of hamburgers I think of burgers and just solid juicy beef patty in between rolls but these are like meat blobs but they aren't juicy like fat American juicy. 

These burgers are sooooo different than anything I've had. We top it with Japanese katsu sauce, they go so well together.  For the skinny people, these are not juicy fat burgers, they are so lights when you eat them you don't even think you're eating burgers (that's what the Japanese diets are for). 

Glass Noodle Salad

I was craving something refreshing so I made myself some glass noodle salad.

I kinda like the tanginess + spicy with little pieces of calamari. It's really really easy to make and it's super light so you don't feel like you're eating something heavy. This will totally benefit you if you are trying to get skinny or trying to stay skinny.

There's One Thing My Mom Can Own Me In

Her Gyoza, that's the term we use to call dumplings in Japanese.

Everytime I make these people freaking love them but every time my mom makes them I feel like she owns me every time. Anyway, she puts ginger in hers, you can't really taste them but apparently the ginger enhances the flavor of the stuffing. I absolutely hate ginger so I refuse to put them in when I make them. I'm sure I'm not alone with the whole ginger hating thing. 

The BBQ Here

This meal was quite simple. They call this the BBQ here. I guess it's the idea of grilling on the mini grill not like how people normally grill burgers on their grills outdoors in the US. Instead of making burgers on the grill and taking them away when cooked, we sit there by the grill and eat the food right there and add more onto the grill. 

To prepare for this meal is pretty easy, because you cook as you eat. 

There's udon, Enoki mushrooms and 'King Oyster' mushrooms I wrote about in the previous post.

So in the middle is like an island where everything gets cooked dry, and all the vegetables drown in the soup around it. This is quite delicious 

Giant Mussels

I found some ginormous mussels at the supermarket today. 

Apparently these are the Swedish mussels. They are the biggest mussels I've ever seen. They normally aren't that big. 

These are baked in butter and topped with sauteed coriander.  This was so intense because I couldn't just bite this thing in half so I had to eat the whole thing. It's like one big bite of mussels. This was so good but since the mussels were so big I couldn't eat more than two, it was just too much. 

 

Giant Fungus

My mom likes to buy these mushrooms, I'm not so sure what they are called but they come in a pack of three because they are so big. 

These don't taste mushroom-my though, I know a lot of people that hate the taste of mushrooms but these aren't like that at all, I suggest you try them before you say you hate all the mushrooms. They are so fat, one can fill me up easy.

PS. I found this image on google and apparently that thing the boy is holding is a mushroom. I'm not saying mushroom above is the biggest thing in the world but it was huge... not this huge though. And uhm... this one below does not look tasty, would you eat it?

New AC's Birthday!

So our crazy friend, Mint came over today with a birthday cake... not for anyone but for our new air conditioner! We told her we got a new air conditioner and I guess she was very excited for us. So she went over to Bread Talk to get us a blueberry mousse cake. 

 

It says "new air conditoner" in Thai. So she got the cake people to write "Happy Birthday Miss New Air Conditioner... Thaiyanont" I asked her if she got a weird stare from the people at the store and she said when she handed them the paper they looked at her to confirm that this was for real. This cake was soooo good. The fruits were fresh and the mousse was just soo fluffy I felt like I was eating clouds. The only bad thing about this cake was that there were little fruits so not everyone got a slice fruits on it. That created chaos for a little.  

Extending Visa For My Alien

Ian and I had to go to the immigration place today to extend his visa for 30 more days. The area we went to was called Lumpini. I've never been in the area and it reminds me of the Wall St. in NY. It's really boring and it's full of foreign business people. We walked by this building called Life Center. It's like business building with food center on the ground floor. We stopped by there to get some lunch because they had all these cute restaurants there. The place we chose was called Yum and Tum. 

I ordered Larb with noodles. It's spicy chicken salad with noodles mixed in with it. 

Ian ordered shrimp and cucumber salad. This was better than my dish but it was just alright, nothing special. This place had an awesome atmosphere the price was descent, inexpensive. The food looks way better than it tastes though. I honestly think I can make better salads then these. 

Kiss the Cook

Since I'm not working YET and I have a lot of time on my hand, I cook a whole lot here. I'm also learning a whole lot from my mom. Today for dinner I made wonton soup.

Making chicken wontons from scratch is actually not as hard as that might sound. I got these wonton sheets and wrapped the marinated ground chicken and used shitake mushrooms to make the broth. It's pretty simple and it's healthy. 

Dunkin' Donuts

Apparently Dunkin' Donuts here have more to offer than they did in the States. Well, for me they do. Most people should have heard of mochi... if you haven't, you are missing out.

 

I got these from Dunkin' they have mochi inside, so they are super chewy on the inside with the regular donut texture on the outside. They have these in almost every flavor and they are super tasty! Apparently, the original ones were made by Mister Donut and I guess Dunkin' jacked the idea and made them too. 

Korean Beef

Mommy made Korean Beef for dinner and this was deeeeeelicious! She marinated the meat in sake, soy sauce, and sesame oil. You just have to make sure you choose the tender parts to cook so it's not too tough.

Onions, baby radish, and carrots go so well with the beef. 

Ice Monster

I love the fact that there's SO MUCH food around the movie theaters here (actually there's just mad food everywhere). We bought tickets for Bangkok Dangerous and we had about half an hour so we stopped by this place called Ice Monster. I'm not really into their branding/packaging but their ices were delicious.

I ordered Mango topping. They put sweetened ice under. The toppings and ice go soooo well together.

Ian got Raspberry topping. The Raspberries were frozen because they can't get them fresh here in Thailand... so this wasn't as good as my Mango topping. 

Pink Noodles Make Me Happy

For Lunch today we went by this really green looking restaurant called Jeam or something. I really can't spell the name right in English. The restaurants here have really weird names that aren't possible to pronounce as a foreigner.

Ian ordered Shrimp Wonton soup. This was really really good, the shrimp were so fresh you can feel the crunch. 

These fresh Spring Rolls were the appetizers, these were too sweet for my taste. I would've liked them better without the sweet peanutty sauce on top. 

 

This was my lunch, they call this Yentafo here but I really don't know how to describe the pinkness but they have this pink sauce in the soup, it doesn't make the soup sweet or anything... You gotta try it to understand. This was yummy. 

I Like Visiting My Sick Friend At The Hospital Because...

My model friend ended up having to stay in the hospital so we visited her. Normally people bring a lot of food, flowers and gifts when visiting a patient in the hospital but this wasn't the case. I called her up asking her what she wanted to eat and she told me not to bring anything but to come over and help her eat the food she got from her visitors. We got there and there were just mad food siting around. One of her fan clubs bought her some pastries from Lenôtre, one of the expensive bakeries from Longlor (rich bitches area) 

This was alright, it looks good but unfortunately they're canned fruits. 

This was like a custard pie. It formed a pool of custard in my mouth, it's really really good. 

This was similar to the one above but this has cherry flavor mixed in with the custard. I wish I took pictures of these before I ate them... I was so excited I forgot about the blog.
