A Singaporean's guide to living in Thailand

Finally on my third day I had a chance to have probably the only Vietnamese dish I like, PHO

This was the restaurant I was brought to

I have to admit this restaurant is very nice interms of the decoration and service. As for the food well its ok but full of wraps. Pho is better.

Nice !

Definitely look more appealing than our Jiuhu Kia UNESCO hawker food
 
Apologise for the long break from my last post as this week was a crazy week for work. I think I left off at the Sunday walk so I shall continue here. So after talking a rather long walk and encountering the pho I passed by a noodle shop.

Ordered a standard bowl of noodle

I really enjoyed this noodle. Like the pho before the noodle portion is rather big so had less than half of noodle

Every time I view your images I feel like hopping on a plane to Thailand and touring the region VN included.

Here's my humble contribution...
