PlacesToTryOut

These guys were kind of the first micro-brewery which opened in Bangalore. It was around 2006-2007  or 2008 that they opened. I did not think it would be so huge from the inside unless you enter it. And long ago, I personally had never tasted freshly brewed beer. And when this came , it was like heavenly beer. 👱 The love of the golden liquid just increased multi-fold when this TOIT opened. People here call it T-O-I-T but I guess it should be more pronounced like Tuã. Well I just visited this place yesterday so thought of sharing some pictures and stuff. I have been there multiple times though, and every time I end up being at the bar standing and holding a beer, or again  beside the bar sitting and holding a beer. But when on a weekday and in the afternoon, it was pretty cool that there were less and people and the managers there actually care for you to have a nice time and ask you for any assistance. They had these weekly or monthly papers on the table. Since...

Yeah this is the name of the place - " One night in Bangkok". 😊 Trust me I have been there twice and I tried only papaya salad. They taste great and you should also try out this place. In the late evenings, it turns out like a pub scene and they start charging people ( basically men ) to enter the place and some basic dress code to be maintained. There is a matured crowd and decent music , mostly 70's and 80's music.  But the place is quite small and the DJ sits at an elevated level. Below are two pics I had from one night in One night in Bangkok .

This was again a place which gave us a wonderful surprise. I had checked out this place in Zomato and found very nice comments and feedback. I got curious and planned to spend some time there trying out new food and drinks. When me and friends entered this place, it did not have that classy look and not very posh look too. They had limited menu too. For example, there were only two desserts. Drinks in the menu looked interesting so me and my friends tried out couple of it. There were some colourful shooters which we could not find in the menu but saw that other people had ordered. We got curious and asked the waiter to get the same thing for us too. So below are some pictures of drinks and food and the colourful shooters.

This was a blissful experience for me , my friend and my brother. We entered early on a weekend and they allowed us to enter without a cover charge. Got a decent place to sit near the bar in the dining area. There were huge statues of Buddha ( or some one who looked like💭 ) surrounding us. You get the best sushi there but with a price to pay. We ordered salmon sushi and was amazed by how wonderful it tasted. In the late hours the club started becoming active and lots of beautiful people started swarming in and we were surprised by how the entire club changed its look. There was a terrace kind of place where people could smoke and talk too.

I have visited this place twice till now. One of the main reason is because it is right opposite to my office. Second , it is a decent place and they have these exclusive beers  like BIRA blonde and white, and KINGS beer ( which we find in Goa ). They have a list of imported beers ranging from 300 INR to 400 INR . The local beers were cheaper from 130 to 200 INR. I have tried their shooters too. The food there is good and I have mostly tried non-vegetarian food : like chicken wings etc. Below are some pictures of the food there. Apologies, the picture quality is not that great.

This post is going to be about the food and places I visited when I had been to Thailand - Bangkok and Koh Tao Island. Stayed in Bangkok for 4 days ( note - this we in the year 2014 December ) .  Started tasting the street food first and the best thing I found was papaya salad which you get it in abundance. If you are one of those people who loves tangy and hot food, papaya salad will be bliss for you tongue. If you tell the vendors to make it really hot and spicy , you will be satisfied and overwhelmed with what they can do to the salad.  Anyways , apart of salad we tried Mango Rice, which is nothing but sticky rice with a mango and a jasmine flower I guess ( Which I did not eat 👧 ). Another best thing which I had was the basil chicken with rice and egg. You get this food combination in almost all the places and its so refreshing and yummy. There are lots of other food type which you get there, but depending on your taste buds and level of variation you all...
