Felt bad for missing for so many weeks or i should say months. It was summer in Thailand, the summer semester is shorter and it is hard to keep up school work and work at the same time.
Ok, lets go back to Shopping. I’ve been observing lately, many girls like to buy their toileteries here. It has been a norm for me buying some toileteries or medication here, but lately, because it is the holiday season, i hear a lot of Cantonese (Hong Kong accent), Mandarin (Taiwan accent) and English (British Accent) speaking girls in this shop! And they all go for the toileteris and all of them are mentioning Oh, it is cheaper than in England…”wah, zhan hai peng dit wor, ha chi lei man gok mai dai di er, em sai hui dou ying gok” (translate - wah its really cheaper here, next time buy it from Bangkok is more worth it and don’t have to go all the way to England”
This shop is none other than the England well-known chain pharmacy - BOOTS. Now you don’t have to fly all the way to England to buy “Botanics”, “Luminese”, “No. 7″, “The Sanctuary Spa”, “Toni & Guy” hair care products, FCUK toileteries. You get almost everything that you can find in England and at a cheaper price here in Bangkok!
82 stores alone in Bangkok city, you can easily find one in any major departmental store. MBK, Emporium, Siam Center, Siam Square, Patpong, Central Silom, and many others.
So, if you are currently getting your friends or relatives to buy Boots toileteries for you, you don’t have to do that anymore, come to Bangkok and buy it yourself!

Stand aside Malaysia’s SOHO~”新煮意” or “龍的傳人” and make way for Bangkok’s “永和豆浆”. When your days of Tom Yum Goong and Papaya Salads has been too much for you to bear during your stay in Bangkok and you crave for some Chinese Food…永和豆浆 will be one of your many answers.
永和豆浆 serves delectable Shanghai Mini Steam Bun “上海小籠包” (140 baht),
Delicious ‘Dong Bo Rou’ (75 baht),
Sliced beef pancake roll “油餅夹牛肉” (110 baht) and my all time favorite Beef Noodle “紅燒牛肉麵” (95 baht). Of course not forgetting to promote their hot soy bean as well, it is very thick and taste heavenly (only 25 baht)
All noodles and chinese pastries are made in-house and the ingredients are very fresh too. If you sit on the correct corner, you can even see the chef preparing your noodles too!
Sorry I ordered ‘Dong Bo Rou’ this week, thus only have one miserable photo. There are others in the menu that are worth recommending, and one of them is the Pork Cutlet Noodle “排骨麵”, there are also an array of cold dishes, including sliced cold beef, seaweed salad, beancurd with century egg, and all of them are priced at a reasonable 50 baht!
The best part is, it is strategically located at ChongNonsi Station (BTS). Exit 3.
If you come during lunch & dinner hour, do not be put away by their crowded ground floor, as they have a 2nd floor seating available (with no extra charge).
The taste of food in this restaurant works well for me, try it yourslef the next time when you are in Bangkok.
Come back and check on “Shopping for Food in Bangkok” next week! Next week’s highlight is on yummy “Thai Food”!
