Hey! I'm The Greedy Panda...
I could talk about food all day. Food brings me a lot of joy in life and I'd like to be able to share that with you too.
If I could inspire you to visit or try out the places I've been to, then I'll consider my mission accomplished.
This blog is a record of the great (and some not so great) places I've eaten at. I'll also be recording my experiences of hotels I've stayed at too.
Let me know if you like what you see by leaving a comment or dropping me an email.
Enjoy!
Don't forget to follow me on Instagram too, so you can see all the other yummy food I eat. Here's a few snaps to keep you going for now...
π I took this photo whilst eagerly waiting for lunch.
I was sitting in the garden, whilst the rest of my family were at the dinner table inside the kitchen. It's been over two months since I had a meal with my family, and it was so nice to be able to do that again. Even if it meant sitting at a separate table to observe social distancing. I got a little emotional and shed a few secret tears, in case my mum got upset too.
Before lockdown, family dinner was one of the rare activities that brought our whole family together. With different working patterns and different interests, food is undeniably the most important thing that keeps us together.
Food is our love language, and our bond.
During the last two months I've spent more time cooking than ever before. My current commute to work consists of getting out of bed and walking down the stairs to the dining table. That's two hours less than before lockdown. And therefore I have gained an extra two hours to do something I enjoy. Can't say that I've been making any amazing meals, but nothing beats home cooked dinner, even if it is a simple stirfry.
Hopefully I'll get to sit at the same table as my family for dinner soon. β€

A meal worth waiting over 5 hours for from the #michelinstar #streetfood vendor @jayfaibangkok π€€π€€π€©π€©ππ πlink in my bio for my blog on how to get a seat and how to kill time whilst waiting!! .
.
I normally don't bother waiting more than 2 hours for a table. But after watching the street food documentary about @jayfaibangkok I braved the wait to see what the craze was all about. Everyone asks if it was worth it. My answer is definitely! For street food, this meal was expensive, but much more affordable compared to the usual Michelin starred restaurants. .

#cheapeats in #thailand ... #hotpot #buffet ππ€€π₯ππ€€π₯ππ€€π₯ππ€€π₯ππ€€π₯ππ€€

Pictured is no.1 of 4 rounds of food π I loved the variety of meat, seafood, veg, noodles and fishballs.. plus the massive sauce section where you could mix and match to make your own dipping sauce. You also get to choose two soup flavours - I chose tom yum (middle section) and Chinese herbal medicine (outer ring) .. very good contrast of flavours! @evaime_shabushabu was a lovely find inside @iconsiam and I wish I could have this again.. why is hotpot buffet in London so expensive ππππ .

You don't speak Thai, but you see the locals eating a yummy dish which isn't featured on the special "tourist" menu, so you walk up to the table and point at it anyway so the waiter knows to cook it for you. Lucky the locals were nice about it πππππ .
.
I still don't know what this dish is called. But it was stir fried belly pork and French beans in a gingery / spicy sauce, served with plain rice and topped with a fried egg. #comfortfood at it's best! Glad copying the locals paid off π€π€π€

You might have noticed Panda has a friend in this pic. It was courtesy of my nephew who insisted I took the reindeer on holiday with me... his way of showing he was upset I was leaving him for a few days π₯°π

When the #phadthai at a buffet in #thailand is more impressive than the ones we get in #london ππππ€€π€€πππ€€π€€π

The @iconsiam in Bangkok houses the No.1 buffet restaurant from Taiwan @harbourbuffet_th
and it didn't disappoint! There are several different stations serving food from across the world. Personally I liked the Japanese sashimi, dessert and of course the Thai station. The chef makes the Phad Thai from scratch right in front of your eyes, and its beautifully presented with a fresh river prawn..claws and all! If I wasn't trying to save stomach for other things, I would've had about 3 servings of this π

When Kitty (and Panda) meets #hellokitty ππ±πΌβ

I was soooooo excited to visit the @sanriohellokittyhousebangkok in Bangkok and wanted to order EVERYTHING!!! I wasn't planning to order coffee since it was late in the evening, but boy am I glad I did - LOOK HOW PRETTY IT IS!!! I was a little sad when sugar was added and Hello Kitty's face was stirred and messed around ππ€£ it was just a gimmick though, cuz as coffee goes, this was just average! .

I was inside the food court at @siamparagonshopping centre, and was totally overwhelmed by all the tasty food available! It's a place where locals and tourists come to eat, so you know the food on offer is going to be good. You have to put money on a card in order to buy food, as it's a cashless food court. This seafood pancake was just one of THREE things I ate π€π€£π€€ .

Eating on the side of #chatuchak weekend market π€€ my first taste of #streetfood in #bangkok - Thai sausage salad, fried chicken thigh, green papaya salad with fried prawns. At the time I thought it was great, until I had more street food over the next few days of my holiday. Goes to show that the quality of food drops in touristy areas! .

First day of my #easter #bankholidayweekend and I wake up earlier than I do for work!!! So much for a lie in. Anyway hope you've all got plans to get the most out of the 4 day break - be that going out to have loads of yummy food, having a barbeque to make use of the weather, eating lots of chocolate or just chilling at home! .

Pictured is the cutest Easter bunny ever, all the way from @elisabeth_chocolatier in #brussels π€π€ππππ it came with a number of different praline eggs, but I started eating them way before Easter so I had to add some chocolate covered hazelnuts and @cadburyuk #cremeeggs so the bunny wouldn't be lonely π€£π€£π€£
