Kaofae Fanclub Chiang Mai

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

We ate out of the resort twice and this was one of them.  Our tour guide recommended it as it was near the Elephant camp we were going to

No frills place but still clean and nice

Prices are one tenth of the resort restaurants and everyone said this was the best restaurant among all the restaurants we ate in in Chiang Mai!  🙂

Verbena Christmas Special

By | Christmas, Foodie, Travel | No Comments

We stayed here for a day and one night and we did not have to go anywhere else to eat!  They had a great offering we could not resist 🙂  

 verbena-christmas-special-01.jpg

We were there on December 18, before Christmas, so they had a special Christmas menu!  We had a wonderful stay at Discovery Country Suites

I am showing two photos – with and without the foie gras 🙂

If you get the Eat, Stay, Love promo, the meal that comes with it will probably be something like this!  What a great deal!  P 8,500 ++ for the room and the meals – worth it 🙂

Birthday Celebration for Krie

By | Celebrations, Foodie, For kids | No Comments

For Krie’s birthday last November, we had a different celebration.  Chef Javs cooked our meal!  Thanks to Chef Javs, Mom’s kitchen is actually being used 🙂  He loves staying with Lolo and Lola on weekends and no school days – and he loves to cook for them.  Here is the kitchen as he prepares for dinner, I visited him to check on him but he does not like me to take much photos

happy-bday-krie-01.jpg

One of Chef Javs specialty – Roast Chicken – I always tell him to cook the same thing over and over again so he can master a dish and be able to prepare it consistently all the time.  So this dish he can do it well and really good 🙂

happy-bday-krie-02.jpg

The family loves his beer battered fish and chips – especially Lola!  This is always a special request!

happy-bday-krie-03.jpghappy-bday-krie-04.jpg

Krie’s siblings – Troy and Candy – joined us that evening 🙂
