Bangkok Jam's Thai'Rrific Food Fest‏

I have a great and fulfilling night enjoying the Thai Street Food at Bangkok Jam's Thai'Rrific Food Fest‏.
Bangkok Jam is a familiar household name to many Singaporeans. It provides diners with both authentic Thai favourites, as well as dishes infused with Western style cooking.

To celebrate the diversity of Thai street food one can find at the streets and markets of Bangkok, Bangkok Jam hosted a Thai Street Food Carnival, Thai’Riffic Food Fest, at Marina Square outlet.

Tickets were sold at all Bangkok Jam outlets for $15 nett per set to be paid by cash only.
Each set includes six pieces of $2 coupons and three $1 coupons. These coupons can be used to purchase the food and beverage at the stalls that was priced from $1 to $5 for each serving. 

Each set of ticket entitles the participation for the lucky draw where consumers stand a chance to win attractive prizes such as complimentary room for 2 nights at Four Points by Sheraton, Bangkok and Marina Square shopping vouchers at the event.

I felt as if I have came to little Bangkok.
Tuk Tuk spotted right outside Bangkok Jam. The three-wheeled rickshaw is one of the popular transportation features in Bangkok.

Tuk Tuk, let's drove to Bangkok Jam.

I must say the team had put in a lot of efforts in creating iconic Bangkok street food items from the City of Angels. The Food Fest was spearheaded by Chef De Cuisine, Thongloy Wilaiwan, Bangkok Jam.

At our first stall, we started off with soup from City of Angels.

Red Tom Yum with shrimps at $3.

At the price of $3, the portion given was generous. I have ate at least 4-5 shrimps in the bowl of soup. The shrimps were succulent and fresh. The Red Tom Yum was flavourful but too spicy to my liking. I took 5-6 sips and that's my threshold, I could feel the burning sensation down my throat and in my stomach. Those who can take really hot and spicy food will love this.

At live stations watching the demonstration of Thai Chef's skill and mastery of making the signature Spicy Mango and Papaya Salads.

We opted for the Spicy Mango Salad.
This was yet another hot and spicy dish.

Okay, I need a drink badly after having 2 spicy dishes at a go.

I tried both Thai Iced Milk Tea and Butterfly Pea Lime.
The sweetness of the milk tea was just perfect while the butterfly pea lime was refreshing. Both eased our thirst and soothed our throats.

Crispy Thai crepes from the floating markets.
A popular street food in Thailand. I love the thin crispy crepe and the juicy savoury toppings in it. It was a sweet indulgence.

Next, we went to fried food stall.

I requested a bit of everything and that includes Tod Man Pla (Thai Fish Cakes), Peek Gai Tod (Fried Chicken Mid Joints with Thai Fish Sauce Marinade), and Pandan Leaf Chicken.

I love fried chicken mid joints the most. The chicken was juicy good and chewy on the inside. The pandan leaf chicken was flavoursome with the aroma of pandan infused in the chicken. Delicious.

The stall also served Porpiah Tod (Deep-fried Spring Rolls).
It tasted crispy good.

Finally got a plate of Boat Noodles.
The queue for boat noodles was super long through the fest. We decided to wait until the crowds dispersed before queuing for it.

The kway tiao was really smooth and the broth brought out a light taste. A simple and yet delicious dish.

Arriving at the street of streets of Chatuchak for desserts.

I opted for the Coconut Shell Ice-cream.
The ice-cream was Cream), with toppled with dried mango, jackfruit slices, lord chong (green chendol stripes), and a Singaporean favourite; nata de coco.

This was my favourite dish that night. It was so delicious that I went for second round for this. It looked so photo-worthy and the taste of the ice-cream has definitely meet the same standard. Thumb up!


Mango Sticky Rice.

Yet another Thai favourite dessert: sticky rice with coconut milk and mangoes.
This was different from the usual white sticky rice that I had for mango sticky rice.

I have come to my final dessert, Luk Chup.

By then, my stomach was bursting. There was no more room for food.
It was a fruit shaped dessert with ground bean paste in it. The colour was really bright and attractive.

End off the post with the lovely girls. 
Thanks GF for the photo.

Thanks Bangkok Jam and Creative Eateries for the invitation and great hospitality.

Beauty Review: 23years Old Carboxy Body Shaper Pro

One thing I feel insecure about myself is definitely my body figure. 
Though I don't belong to the obese stage, I have unwanted fats residing at my arms, tummy and thigh area. Our metabolism slows down as we age, making the fatty tissues harder to breakdown.

Because of these excess fats staying in my body, I was being called fat by some people and this really hurt me (though it is true.). From then on, I start to become conscious about my diet and the clothes I wear. I always seen wearing loose outfit to hide my flaws.

I was thankful to have the opportunity to try out Carboxy Body Shaper Pro from 23years old. This has become a star products in Korea and was highly recommended in Korea's top beauty show, Get It Beauty.

The Carboxy Body Shaper works with our skin cells using CO2 to encourage fat burning while tightening and smoothening our skin for the perfect body line. 

Recommended for people who:
- want to eliminate unnecessary cellulites 
- want a product that burns fat while making the skin smooth 
- want to have the perfect body line

This is suitable for people like me with flabby arms, thighs and tummy.

Inside the box, it contains Carboxy Body Shaper gel, syringe and patch sheets.

How do we get started with this?

Open up the syringe

Pour adequate amount of gel into the syringe for easy disperse later on.

Apply an adequate amount of gel to the target area using the syringe. For this case, I applying on my thigh area.

Attach the patch sheet over the gel and wrap with a plastic wrap for twice the results. Optional for plastic wrap.

The CO2 penetrates the skin to deliver Patent Pending Carbon Dioxide to activate and promote the cellulite burning components while the wastes are brought out by the oxygen for a smoother, cleaner skin inside and out.

Keep tapping with your fingers until the bubbles were gone.

Remove after 30 minutes.
If you experience pink/reddish around the applied area, don't freak out. This means its working.

From the initial measurement of 18.6 inches, the measurement has dropped to 17.8 inches after the treatment. I was amazed with the instant result.

Upon applying, remember to constantly tap the sheet patch until the bubbles are gone. When tapping, I experienced a warm and prickling sensation. The discomfort is still bearable. I tapped for 5-10 minutes and relaxed myself for the next 20 minutes.

I was amazed by how instant and effective the Carboxy Body Shaper cream worked. In just one application, I lost about 1 inch from my thigh. I feel that the result is on par with going for one treatment at slimming centre. 

Now I can have my own treatment done at home.

With Carboxy Body Shaper Pro, this is no need to stress over those impossible cellulites anymore.

Carboxy Body Shaper Pro is retailing at $90.00.
You can get the product at Jofiel Beauty.
