Day 4: Final Shopping ...

This would be our last shopping opportunity in BKK as we would be flying off tml... Seriously, i tink i am really not a born shopper, which is good in a way! As today was Monday, we saw many Thais wearing yellow tees to pay respects to their King. When we were walking on the Skywalk from Chit Lom BTS, a Thai man stopped us in our path & chatted wif us... Again? Can't believe lor! He said this area is ex to shop, sugg we go futher down to this Thai Export Centre where things r supp 30% cheaper & only open till 1pm every Monday. After talking to him, we walked a few steps down & was approached by another middle age chinese man! He asked if we r chinese and intro him as a Thai-Chinese & worked as a doctor in nearby hospital. Sei, this was our 3rd encounter wif strangers who chatted us up in the same area!

We decided to stick to our plan & strolled down to Platinum Mall. Cos the day bef was so crowded till we were unable to shop. Shopping on a weekday was great as no need to jostle wif the wkend crowd. This time i managed to walk in an organise manner to comb each level. Lunch was at this mall's food court and i tried their local braised duck rice ... still pref our Sg's version. Been eyeing the Thai desserts & gotta try today liao! At the desserts stall, i asked the aunty what it meant by Thai dessert ~ Ice Ball? She couldn't really speak english & put some colourful strands in a bowl to show me! I tot besides that she would add toppings like our ice-kacang! To my dismay, it really only contained the coloured strands covered wif coconut milk & a plain ice ball! Wanted to try its other famous dessert ~ Mango wif Sticky Rice ... ahh, this time was good & these 2 desserts r really the only thai food i had thru'out, haha!

Nearing 6pm, we finished covering the mall ... that's half a day too! Had a snack of cheese hotdog & drink before proceeding back to CentralWorld. After walking abit, we decided to have a good dinner & returned to Fuji Jap Restaurant! This time, mom sugg i could try the Tonkatsu Set. Was really filling after the sumptuous dinner! We strolled to Siam area again & had wanted to locate Hardrock Cafe initially but gave up ... went back to the lighted pathway outside Siam Discovery & re-shoot photos instead.
