I like to dine at Shabu-shabu, its a buffet style steamboat with individual pot to cook. The thing I like about this place is the food is serve via conveyor belt's, so one don't have to walk around getting their food. The best part of it is the thinly sliced pork, it's what most people visit the place for.
Temperature control
Thinly sliced pork
The dipping sauce, it's really nice, not too sure what's inside though..
The location
My advice is to make reservation before going to the place as it can get very crowded and you have to wait for a long time before getting a place. The price for the buffet is RM35++, which I think it's really worth it.

I was having sore throat and cough, and my friend passed me so homemade salted lime mix it with hot water, apparently will help cure sore throat and cough. The remedy did help, so I figured to make some myself to keep it handy just in case someone in the family is down with sore throat or cough
Some lime, wash it thoroughly. I rinsed it with some boiling water too.
Crystal Salt
Place first a layer of salt, then a layer of lime and continue the process till lime finishes also make sure that the salt covers the last layer of lime.
Layer by layer
Leave this aside for for about a month or more, the longer the better. I will post the pictures of the end product later.

Frontage, the restaurant is located next to Speedy 99 super mart
We normally have our family dinner on Sundays, where my sis and I will make a point to not have any appointment on Sundays so we can take our parents out for a meal. I suggested to try Happy Days in Taipan, looking at the interesting deco and settings every time I passed by.
When we step into the restaurant, the feel is really cool, makes you feel like you are back in the days of John Trovalta and Grease. Even the music played are the songs of that era.
The upper deck is like a lounge, and smoking area
The tables and chairs I think are custom made
Scooter bike
The Menu Cover
After checking out the menu, the food type is American style something like TGIF
There is a promotion when we went there, buy 1 main course free 1 kid's meal. This fish & chips is from the kid's menu. The fish is fried just nice, not too dry, and the chips were crunchy and soft inside.
Pizza from the kids meal. Thin crust, tasted okay only
Appertizer: Fried calamari, loaded potato skin and fried mozzarella cheese. The fried cheese was good, the ones that I tried the cheese normally quite hard but this one, it's really soft. yumm..
The cheese oozes out.. :)
Roasted spring chicken. Meat was tender and nice.
Roast rack of lamb. This was good, the meat is tender and sauce is tasty
I will visit the place again to try on their other dishes. :)

A shot taken from my hotel room
Today is my last day in Bangkok, my plan is to go to Chaktuchak weekend market and MBK shopping mall. I took a MTR (our version or LRT) which takes me directly to CTC. I was so amazed by how big the place is and the varieties is incredible and well organised by sections of the types of things you want to buy.
Some of the stalls by the road side
So many things being sold! I have learned that if you like the stuff you see, buy it immediately if not you might not be able to find the shop again. The only down side of this place is the ally is very small and it's very stuffy and hot inside, I was soaking wet after about 2 hours of shopping in there.
Traffic of Bangkok, congested.
MBK Centre, very big shopping mall, like our version of Sg. Wang. I like their taxi colour, shocking pink!
In general, I like the shopping and food part of Bangkok but not the traffic and the weather! Will definitely visit Bangkok again... :)

We left for Bangkok early in the morning for our next destination, the Safari World.
While walking in, we were welcomed by a company of parrots, boy they are noisy and loud. I was quite amazed at their colours, bright and nice!
This is the safari part, cranes on trees and many of them.
Giraffe and Zebra
Lions!
Don't know the names.. but they look like goats..
Tigers!
Bears..
Peacock.. there weren't many types of animals in the safari but it's good enough for me for the moment..
The Royal Dragon, our dinner place
The restaurant compound is really big, total of 8.35 acres which got them a Guinness World Record.
The servers serve by skating because the compound is so big, I find it quite entertaining.
We proceed back to the hotel after this, I didn't go out for walk anymore as I was dead tired!
End of Day 3

We took a 30 minutes speedboat ride to one of the island of Pattaya, on the way we stopped by a deck for skydiving experience. It was really fun and exciting flying in the sky.
I was quite amazed with all the beach benches around the sea side when I reached the island and they are so near the sea.
The beach benches are not free for all, you've gotto pay for it! Everything there needs to be paid for, plenty of clever businessmen around.
Those who don't like sea sports can do some shopping and eating here.
Galore of seafood
Sweet, sweet corn. Steamed or BBQ
BBQ fish
BBQ seafood.. choose what you wanna eat and cook them!
BBQ chicken tight.. this is really tasty!
Central, a new shopping complex in Pattaya
I saw this interesting cocktail car just outside the shopping complex.
Alcazar show is a must see when you are in Pattaya. It is a performance by the Ah Kua (Transsexual), it was really an enjoyable performance. They basically lip sing to the song with dancing.
After the show, they will come out and hang out at the car park for people to take photos with them. You need to pay about 40 Baht to take photo with them.
Some of them really look very pretty, but once they talk... oh dear..
End of Day 2..
