Being a shopaholic and a spicy food addict, I was really going forward to my Bangkok trip in the September holidays. Best thing is, I get to skip a school day! I haven't been to Bangkok before even though it is really near to Singapore and a common travelling place. My sister brought her boyfriend, Ram along and I was very happy cause there'll be one more person to help me decide what to buy (I'm really really indecisive)
Prince Palace Hotel
Our accommodation was at Prince Palace Hotel. My dad booked a suite which has 2 bedrooms, 1 master bedroom and a freaking huge living room. Even the master bedroom is bigger than the whole room of most hotels.

First stop ✰Platinum Fashion Mall✰
`It's heaven for shopaholics`
I was shocked when my eyes met the arrays of shop. It's like Bugis street but way way bigger and the clothes and stuff sold there are a lot cheaper around maybe $5+ if you know which shop to buy from.
The shopping mall has 2 different blocks with 6 storeys each (i think...) and we decided to start shopping at the ladies-wear floor first. Fortunately, there were shops selling guy clothes or else Ram and I would be bored to death sitting there while my sister shopped.
I bought this really nice dark green shorts and mustard yellow shorts which costs 250Bahts (S$10). Some of you might be thinking "tch so cheap, material confirm bad la," which is WRONG! The material of the clothings we bought were quite good and is even better than the more-expensive ones being sold in Bugis street.
^This is probably my favourite store^
Not only were there clothes for teenagers and adults, there were also many stores selling clothings for babies and children too so it's really a perfect place for everyone in the family to shop in.
After you have worn off your legs from all that shopping, you can go to the food court and restaurants that's located at the 6th floor. Our parents came back and we went to Jeffer Steak for lunch.
After what felt like eternity of deciding what to eat, I finally went for a meal consisting of both pork and beef with a side of onion fries. The set meals come with side orders including, onion ring, fries and pasta etc.
[sorry I forgot to take pictures]
The quality isn't really good for the beef. The one that Ram ordered came out well done even though he ordered medium rare. The pork, however, has a way better quality regardless of taste and texture. If you're looking for good quality beef, you should order the Wagyu Beef set which is around S$16
After the energizing meal and rest, we went around to shop at the 6th floor that also has electronics (mostly fake) and went for desserts at Bread Talk and the food court.
We didn't finish shopping at the first block, we went to the second one to buy shoes and bags which were really expensive so I didn't buy any shoes so it was kinda a waste of time for me. If you have a limited time there you can just skip that whole block and shop till you drop at the clothes block.
At 6 plus, we had to leave the mall for our dinner at Chocolate Villa. Before the trip, our dad told us for the umpteenth time to only take the yellow and green stripes taxi. I'm not sure why but we ended up taking the pink ones instead and the stupid taxi driver drove us to some random place. Fortunately, my sis had her google maps turned on and we realized it before we were completely off course. We had to walk all the way out of the highway before we hired a green and yellow taxi.
~Chocolate Villa~
After an hour or so, we arrived at Chocolate Villa, our really fancy dinner place. When I first went in the place gave me a feeling that I'm in paradise. Either it is or I was extremely famished and tired. It was all outdoors with neatly trimmed patches of glass and a shimmering lake with actual ducks swimming in it. The restaurant is also decorated with a mixture of vintage and modern buildings, houses and statues.
The waiting time for the food to arrive was quite short and soon our once empty table was filled with plates of delicious food.
Wagyu Beef
As I said before, no matter how good the quality of beef is, as long as it is cooked to well done, it'll be like chewing leather and the one we ordered was like it.
Some kind of fish
Pork Ribs
Happy Birthday!

Some kind of fish
I'm not sure what kind of fish this is but it is really good. The skin was fried to a crunchy texture, leaving the meat soft and tender.
Pork Ribs
I think this was my second favourite dish for the night. The texture of the pork was really soft and the taste was exquisite.
And then there was fried chicken wings and sausages and something else but I forgot and there aren't any pictures of it so...
As it was near Ram's birthday, we decided to throw him a surprise birthday party. We ordered a few different slices of cake and 4 pieces of macaroons.
Happy Birthday!
