It's expensive to live here....

It’s sad to find out that a town like Tawau has such elevation of living expenses. Food is appallingly expensive, even dining in either Penang or Taipei, well sometimes in KL is much cheaper! Are the prices accorded as the authority’s stated? Price hikes …!!??  Is this their first step to take over the world??

Check out the houses etc. link houses; you wouldn’t believe the price they called. Tawau has great capacity of space in short with many acres of land, yet we are seeing nuisance price of houses. E.g. - RM300K- 400K for a 3+1 link house in undeveloped zone, bad roads - lots of pot holes, and bad transportation is mostly preposterous. Yet there are numbers of unoccupied new houses which have been sitting there for years.

What is the population like? Do we really need that much of mosquitos’ farm? Don’t you think there are other better things to build and improvised instead of burdening your own Tawau-ian to own a house? Why creates less opportunity for the average Joe?

Makan Makan in Bangkok

Talking bout food, Thai food is mucho mucho really  tempting. 

I can drool when i think of its spicy and its sour flavor .

Raw salad for appetizers. Usually eat it with spicy or barbecue food.

Kaw Nieu (sticky rice) another way of eating it with other dishes. You don't place all the sticky rice on your plate .

Spicy duck 

Barbecue pork

Clams

Yam Moo Sausage

Barbecue beef

Barbecue beef

Chicken Rice or Kau Man Kai is a must eat food in Bangkok!!! Ah roy mak mak !

Yam Won Sen . My all time favourite

A pretty nice place to hang out for coffee and tea . They have the best desserts ever ! I bought the cake to go.

Tiramisu... Look at the coat

Last but not least Dairy Queen is a must have in Bangkok!!!

Bangkok Kaki

I think it’s time for me to generate a new fan club, Bangkok Kaki. What do you think? There will be discussions of food, area, transportation, budgets, interesting findings and etc. I am thrilled and satisfied that I finally made that tempting trip of mine to Bangkok last weekend. It was kind of impromptu visit. I was so raring to go during the red shirt politics conflict finally I took out my guts and went alone.



I by no means had enough with Bangkok. It seems like there are constantly more and more surprises at the end of each tapered street or what they call “soi”. Food! The main reason for flying all the way was for the authentic Thai cuisine. I love their street local hawker food. It’s so alluring that you want to keep going back as if you have been cast with their magic spells. Bangkok is like my second home. Once I step in Pathumwan I smell home and food. I am unbelievable content.


Call me crazy but I got this weird dream, I want to own a nice service apartment in Bangkok. Fly there as promptly as I wish, brush up my Thai and end up retired in a nice coast area of Thailand, well may be Hua Hin or Surat Thani.


Standard of living is not high. Food and transportation is cheap. Life is simple unless you have the other way of thoughts. You can’t utterly brawl the pros and cons of each country’s benefits. So let’s not argue about that…. In short


“I LOVE BANGKOK!”

A little bit of what I had in US....

It has been  many weeks since I sit and dine comfortably with my hubby. I was in Jap restaurant and we were to sit at the sushi bar. Kinda disappointing, would love to sit face to face with hubby. I miss my quality time with hubby. Geee....
