[Bangkok's Best] Posh shopping at Central World Plaza

-

Welcome to the largest shopping mall in Southeast Asia. Located along the Rachadamri Road in Bangkok, Thailand, Central World Plaza houses more than 500 food and retail establishments such as Starbucks Coffee, Muji, Pepper Lunch, Swensens, MNG, Zara and a lot more!


This is definitely a shopping haven for all fashionistas out there. As each store occupies a big space giving more room for a wide array of choices and attractive displays as well.


The mall is divided into three main areas: the Zen department store, the Isetann department store and the Central World main area. While the Zen department store has a more varied product line-up from the US and countries all over Asia, the Isetann department store focuses more on items made in Japan catering majorly to the Japanese community. Nonetheless, it was a wonderful experience shopping on both department stores especially when availing their price-off promotions.

Foodies will also have a blast here at Central World Plaza. Here you'll be able to indulge in delectable treats from Red Mango, Swensens, Haagen Daz, and Auntie Anne's to name a few. We also had a hard time choosing where to have lunch as the choices are endless! Will it be at Pepper Lunch? How about Mos Burger? Perhaps we should go local and try one of the authentic Thai restaurants? Finally we ended up at Heiroku Sushi located at the 7th floor to satisfy our sushi and sashimi cravings.

Inside Heiroku Sushi, we were led to a booth beside a rotating line that showcases the different sushi and sashimis available for us to take. It was so hard to choose as everything looked so good!

Finally I got my first pick -- a Seafood Chawanmushi (savory egg custard), excited to start eating, my sister and I slowly savored the flavor of the Chawanmushi. Mmmm...yummy!

Our next choices came in faster this time. Before we know it, our empty plates were starting to pile up. We got an array of sashimis dipped in our own mixture of wasabi soy sauce. My top favorite was the Sake (salmon) Sushi. I love how fresh the fish was and the rice beneath it has the perfect sticky-ness. I enjoyed it so much that I got two plates for my own personal consumption. :P

My sister, on the other hand, was in pure sushi haven when we got the cold baby octopus. This is her ultimate favorite since she first tried it in Hong Kong and was so happy seeing this again in Bangkok.

Service at Heiroku Sushi was superb too as our server was very attentive to our needs! The price was also something to rave about! Imagine, for a total of 9 plates our total bill was only 580baht (approximately Php. 783 / $17.40) inclusive of VAT.

After our satisfying meal, we met up with Paul and Achie M who have just arrived from Manila.

We love the cute displays scattered all over the mall that we couldn't resist but do some pose with these thanks to the very nice guards who gamely took the photo for us.

I'm missing Bangkok so much and for sure Central World Plaza will still be part of my list on my next visit.

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
