This hotel is under the "real" chain of Carlson group (covering Radisson/Country Inn too). Please don't mix this up with those having the same names once in Singapore and actually those so-called Park Plaza in Singapore have renamed themselves. I wish that Excelsior and Peninsula in Singapore also got aware of that and changed their names too. However, Funny that in coincidence today I came to realise in Singapore there is no "moral right" - a right to protect the copyright creator as the creator's name and the integrity of his/her copyright creation. Anyway, it's now cleared this is the real Park Plaza landed Bangkok, and this one has just been 3 months old.
On the first night, a serious mistake happened. When I was back to the hotel room, the door was half opened. Then I called up the front desk for a complaint. Fortunately it is at the end corner's room. Nothing was lost. There I was offered for free breakfast and room change. I chose the latter one. The room itself is quite nice with everything needed. The bed is so good that I can sleep all the way til the next morning. Even when I woke up in the middle of the night, I can fall back asleep right away. Internet connection is fast so that I save a lot of time for my work. However, on the 6th floor, the water pressure is a problem, quite unstable.

When people often talk about fusion food, there are yet many classic dishes found to have been in fusion in the very early days. This one should be one of the dishes being so popular in many HK local tea restaurants' diary. The name still remains unchanged regardless of Singapore having renamed itself as "新"加坡. So we can see this one getting very deep in HK local eating culture. Together with the other signature stir-fried noodles/rice such as 肉絲炒麵 (sliced pork noodle), 乾炒牛河 (flat noodle with beef) & 楊洲炒飯 (Yeung Chow fried rice), and with an iced lemon tea or milk tea or iced lemon coke. That's the most wanted dishes in our local tea restaurants' era. I occasionally would feel like any of these 4 stir fried. Forget about the oil and calorie, sometimes.
Standing right in the middle to check all the lines in proportion, and press the shutter. Photography can make you sensitive to angles, spots and lines. Letting you see more.
Took it right away before the train door was closed. It's at 6pm something and I grabbed this special moment of no one around on the platform (as they including me were packed in the train already), while many people took the escalator upward and there went a special 600D ad. plus this gentleman sitting next to Canon. :) Used LR to adjust the horizontal angle a bit since I was standing a bit left to the scene. It just reminds me of the 600D TV ad's feature song "Give me that Slow Knowing Smile" (performed by Lisa Ekdahl).
Passed by this shop 10 years ago and it was just in a small lane. The nice aroma really had me stop and puzzle for a bowl. Too bad I didn't. As learned from my sister, it's a very good one. Then I passed by it again last night (at 9pm), the shop was still with a long line of around 15-20 people.
