Pathumwan Princess Hotel - Bangkok, Thailand (Part 3)

Confidently I walked out of Madame Tussauds and into the streets of Bangkok. I panicked and fumbled because it was already dark, pass 8pm and there was a long stretch of night market across the road.  The streets were packed with people walking all directions and traffic jam was massive. I lost my direction to the hotel.  I crossed over the road and was tempted to stop by at one of the stalls selling food.  I held back as my concern was being pick pocketed or mugged.

I continued walking very fast and sought direction from a few people who were kind enough to direct me back to the hotel.  Phew!!! What a relieved when I saw the entrance of Pathumwan. Quickly I went up to my room. Feeling hungry, I flipped through the menu for room service and ordered my food.  The door bell rang and the waiter left my order on the table top.

The set meal came with a bowl of spicy tom yam soup, green chicken curry, rice, birds eye chilies in Thai sauce

 and a piece of pandan chiffon cake. 

Immediately I attacked the tom yam soup. 

The explosion of spicy taste reflected the typical authentic Thai flavors. I loved it so much. For a small eater like me, the soup was filling enough but the temptation to taste the green curry was hard to resist.

I poured the curry over the white rice and finished half portion of both. Compared to the tom yam soup, the green curry was more subtle with spicy notes.  

I took a break from eating, waited for 30 minutes and next was the pandan cake which instantly melted in my mouth. 

The bottled mineral water kept me going to quench my thirst. 

Although the set meal was not as cheap as the street food, I was did not mind paying more for a lovely meal in a cozy room.  I checked thorough my emails, showered and time for beddy bye. Another early day awaits for a tour to Ayutthaya.
