{Business trip} - Hello Bangkok again Day 1 @ C'est LA viE

Well this business trip did not come that easy, it was after a minor drama and sort of begging.

I was the one requesting for the trip after asked by my colleague. Purpose of the trip is to attend the annual Thaifex expo held in Bangkok, yes, I visit Bangkok again in May.

We are flying with Air Asia this time, marking my first time to BKK via Air Asia, company just want to save budget from different aspect.

I had Issac toast for breakfast, just dont care about the cost, well I just claim everything lol.

I still think Issac toast at Korea is better, but after all, is just a toast but with more fillings.

Flight actually delayed, when we reached our hotel and walked to Impact Conventional Centre was almost 3pm, we just quickly jumped into a japanese restaurant as there are not many options.

We shared a tonkatsu, and ramen, the tonkatsu taste not bad tho.

Ramen was just very normal, but portion size is huge.

Then, we quickly ran into the expo, because the business trip actually just covers 1 and a half day, we supposed to back Malaysia on the next day afternoon but we decided to extend our stay by paying the next day accommodation on our own. So we wished not to spend too many precious hour in the unpaid journey that we spent our peny on.

Thaifex expo is really huge, my leg was really cramped to be honest, it covered various food industries, and we just focus mainly on the bakery side.

Discovered these tea selections that allowed us to personalize our own tea, i had made mine too.

Then also have free mocktail =D

We do have some chill time in between our exploring afternoon, and covers maybe just 1/4 of the expo, you can tell how big is the place.

Dinner time, we opt out the main but replace with the famous After You dessert~

I used to eat their signature sweet toast in the big bad wolf temporary pop up store last year in Malaysia, but never have chance to try out their kakigori.

Honestly, their dessert are pricy, we had the thai milktea kakigori however i do not find it impressive.

On the toast side, we selected the chocolate toast with strawberries, again, not it did not wow me compared with the shibuya honey toast.

Reason I come to After you was because my friend kinda questioned me why i didnt during my last visit in BKK in early May, so I decided to pay a visit this time.

However, to me, i still think this cafe is slightly overrated, not that the food is not delicious, but just not that outstanding to be checked out and they are overpriced.

I prefer check out other cafes if there is a next time.

We did walk around after dinner, but Impact is located in the suburb area and there is not many shopping options.

My colleague found out the mango smoothie store and bought a mango smoothie.

This is my first time drinking mango smoothie in Thailand, never know they are good too.

This is the hotel we staying tonight, captured this on the way back to hotel. Last time i stayed with Ibis was in Auckland airport area, actually Ibis do provide a good quality stay.
