With mom in Bangkok

Ok ok...I decided to be a good mommy's girl, took her together with me on my business trip to Bangkok. This trip was a little last minute, I did not really intend to go in the first place but well it's needed for work so I went. Now, I know my mom would love it if I invited her, well since she did not come with me to Japan last month (mainly because I took her on a good vacation in Japan 3 years ago), BKK would just be nice for me. Also, my guilty conscience caught with me too cos I kinda promised her a holiday to Korea which eventually did not work out cos I did not expect it to be so expensive and furthermore I just don't have the time this year.



Well anyway, there I was....redeemed a Bangkok flight for my mom with my Enrich miles.....had to pay over RM300 anyway on taxes. Well...better than paying full amount...think positive!!





The good thing about it, was I stayed in a really posh hotel The Peninsula Bangkok so I am kinda glad my mom got to enjoy it. Since I needed to work, I sent her on a 1/2 day tour on her own...thank god she survived and got back safe!!






I was kinda working for 3 days...but I did manage to take her to Chinatown. The first time I was in Bangkok, my pet bro Simon took me to this shop, he sells Kway teow like noodles in hot pepper soup and topped with roasted pork.







Yumyum yummmmmm the combination is fantastic. I loveeee the pepper soup (if you don't know already I love every soup that gives me a tingling feeling in my throat) and whatmore my favourite roasted porky pork. Yum yum. 2 years back when I came to Bangkok, I remember I came looking for the shop and wah la...I found it. And this time around, I was rather skeptical but I was determined to find it and truly I found it. Amazing, I still remember the uncle. Nice chubby looking fella with rosy cheeks. I finished the soup and asked for more! Yum!







All in all it was a good trip, not with some squabbles with mom - sigh, that's the mom and daugther relationship we have....but I am sure my mom enjoyed herself.
