Since beginning of this year, traffic mata in pattaya beri beri hardworking. Sunday also work. Not only that, three checkpoints along third road( one at sophon market junction aka diamond badminton). One after tony fitness and the third one just before Pattaya klang junction.

Better make sure everything is in order, else mata beri happy to issue ticket aka bai sang.

Just drop by at nearby rompho wet market and bought some Pla Saai. Dont know the english name. This is a very common food at porridge stalls but not many wet markets and supermarkets sell this fish.

Will be preparing to season the Pla Saai using the traditional tumeric recipe which is a southern/malay recipe. Very similar to goreng ikan kuning in nasi lemak recipe just go google nasi lemak kuning. I also used grounded fine garlic powder.

wash the fish with water and cut the stomache out to remove the spare parts.

Mix in a bowl. Some shops dont removed the spare parts but its ok as the fish is usually deep fried until very crispy. Cutting the stomache also allow the seasoning mix to penetrate the fish.

I like to put in the freeze for at least 20 minutes before frying. Heard from experience cook that if season overnight taste even better.

Now we wait.

That looks like a queue for the peasant class. Surely business class passengers don't have to put up with this sort of shit.

Have plans to open my own food shop again. Thats why everyday testing and practising new recipes.

Biggest problem is maintaining consistency. Same dish different day taste different even using same ingredients. Macam the traffic mata here, good mood day, no catch. Bad mood day, catch. Another reason also due to using agarlation method.

Unlike Changi Airport where security screening is done at the gate hold room. 50 gates will require 50 security screening equipment and gantries at the minimum.

At Suvarnabhumi Airport, the security screening is placed before the immigration checkpoints to save costs.

Don't think it matters if you are business or economy.

Wrong, biz and 1st have their own section quicker

For Thai Airways they have their own room for security and immigration much lesser people

The other airlines share another room known as Fast Track passengers will be given a ticket to use Fast Track.

That means you check in at the airline lounge ?

I always travel business class and one of the reasons why I do so is so that I don't have to put up with long queues at many of the airports that I fly to.

At Suvarnabhumbi there is a separate check in area for business class and passing through is a breeze plus the staff manning the stations are actually nice and friendly to all business class/first class passengers.

No matter where you are in the world money talks.

No the check it is right at the end of the building. You will recognise it straight away because it is full of distinguished looking passengers like myself whereas at the other check ins you will see the scum of society including the majority of Ah Nehs.

What if an ah neh take business or first class? The ah neh will be as distinguished as like you?

 

[chonburifc]

Quite satisfied with the result. Paiseh, no chance to put on a nice plate to take a swee swee photo. Cos’ while waiting for the excess oil to drain, already snap up by my drinking kakis. Obviously, this dish is good for “gab glaem” means Puay jiu or go with beer.

Okay, has any hardcore Sinkies in Pattaya tried the food at Liao Fan @ Royal Garden Plaza ? It's made in Singapore.
