Lychees and Bao Tse in Bangkok

The rest have been gobbled up. These Lychees are just delicious. And Bao Tse, that dish that my good friend Shen Jen introduced me and Pradeep to just melts in your mouth. This one is for all the steaming we did in Alta Springs!!
By the way. Bangkok and Suwarnabhumi are way better than our Indian airports again. Damn I'm feeling sad about our airports. I am kicking myself not to have taken pictures of Suwarnabhumi. I think I'll take it when I leave Bangkok.The other thing that struck me was the absence of oppressive touts dragging customers to their cabs outside the airport.
In Bangalore or in Chennai it would be impossible to get a decent cab ride from the airport to anywhere without getting swindled if you do not know the language or the lay of the land.





Curry Chicken!


I saw this dish first when Neha was hogging it down at "Aunty's Wok" and I reluctantly tasted a spoonful of it. And that was enough to get me hooked onto it. Its delicious. Its creamy, has coconut and well cooked chicken and potatos. Malaysian cooking rocks. If ever travelling to the east please please do not hesitate to try this dish out. Even for the non adventurous Indian (who always flock around the only Indian Stall in a food court because they think everyone else eats squishy fishy stuff) this is a must try!



Changi Airport



People who have not been to India think its this scalding hot juggernaut of an economy which is unstoppable. Oh boy are they wrong! I just stepped into a plane from the airport in Chennai and arrived in Singapore Changi airport and the difference is huge. I really doubt Indian's abilities to maintain an airport this big this clean. In fact I would go so far and say it is not going to happen in the next 10 years. I bet my worthless life on it.
This is changi Airport and the only people I found squatting around on the floor was an Indian Family!!

Camera Atlast!!

Atlast! I have a camera. A Singapore Mustafa product. Its quite a nice little thing. Now I think I have an incentive to post. What used to take me an hour to describe I now just click and put it up!So much for my writing skills. But as my time is a wee little crunched I just might have to stick to clicking pictures and annotating them with comments. How I wish I could write something "intense". Well maybe till I get the mood I'll just click and frame my travels. You guys might see what my eyes missed. Dont expect world class photography. This is just me and my pocket gadget and some random pics.
