Co Co Ichibanya (Siam Paragon, Bangkok, Thailand)

I ate at Co Co Ichibanya in Siam Paragon Mall in Bangkok last time I was here and was looking forward to finally taking Coel during our Christmas vacation. Co Co mixes some of my favorite foods (egg, rice, and curry) into one yummy, satisfying dish.

 

Thai's love Japanese things so it's kind of fun being in Bangkok and trying a range of Japanese inspired food without having to be in Japan (eg the Japanese desserts I blogged about and Co Co)

I love plastic food menu things

Omelet with fried chicken, rice, and Japanese curry. Sorry about Coel's hand,
he gets a kick out of trying to ruin my photos.

Pork cutlet with cheese and Japanese curry over rice

Shabu Shi (Central World, Bangkok, Thailand)

This sushi and shabu shabu restaurant is one of the most brilliant restaurant concepts I have ever seen. Located in Center World Mall in Bangkok, the restaurant fuses sushi with hot pot in an easy, creative, and fun way. Shabu Shi is all you can eat and features an unlimited assortment of great sushi and individual hot pot as well as drinks.



Conveyor belt with hot pot items such as vegetables, meats, fish, noodles,
dumpling etc.

Each seat has its individual hot pot station where you pick what type of broth you want and pick dishes off the conveyor belt in front of you. There are tons of different things to choose from and many different sauces and condiments to add to your broth. You are also able to control the heat settings for your individual hot pot.

All you can eat assorted sushi

Delicious pandan and brown sugar sticky rice

Fermented shrimp fried rice

I honestly forgot what this is. I think its veggie and flat noodle stir fry

My favorite vegetable in the world...morning glory

Market at the Fisherman's Village in Bophut

Amazing crepe cake with strawberry coulis

The most regrettable meal we had during our entire trip. I was craving naan
bread for some reason so we decided to stop here. Not only was it a waste
of money but the food was sub par and we certainly could have
spent our money eating way better food.

Fish

There was a blackout while we were out to lunch but we
managed to get some ice cream before it all melted in
the stores. Here is Coel's sundae from Swensens. All the
generators were down and when we left most of their ice
cream was already half way melted.
