A Life Between Two Countries, And All In Between

Thailand

Took Lae Dee, A Recommended Thai Quick-Eatery

Took Lae Dee is a 24 hours chain restaurant at Foodland supermarkets. It is popular amongst Thai people, and the branch at Ladprao is always packed with (hungry) diners.

Good And Cheap, directly  translated from Took Lae Dee. But, it is not that cheap. Expect to pay 70 baht onwards for a plate of dish. 

 

Grapow moo khai dao (81 baht)

Pad kee mao (81 baht)
Ratna (74 baht)
Ratna (74 baht)
It has all my local favorites, and for my once-in-a-while Western dishes. Order with caution, as it is more of a Thai-Western cooking style.

 

Go for the counter seats!
Such a good cook

Orders all lined up
The best spot in the restaurant has gotta be the counter seats, where you get to see live cooking in action! Beat watching reality cooking show on TV. The chefs made cooking look so simple and effortless, when will I be able to cook like them?

Combine cheap-and-good food with grocery shopping at Foodland thereafter, isn’t that an effficient way of spending 1 hour of your time? And parking is a breeze too, at Foodland Ladprao.

Not Your Typical Tourist

A passionate advocate for independent and solo travel, I traded life in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for the vibrant streets of Bangkok, Thailand. This shift is all thanks to a "chance encounter" in 2009 that led to marriage with my Thai husband. I currently split my time between Bangkok (my main base) and Kuala Lumpur for family—documenting the unique blend of a Malaysian life lived abroad.
