I met up with Ann and Mark for dinner. I got the chance to meet Ann's sister and her mom. We met in Siam Square and went to Paragon, the mega-mall. The best part about it was the grocery store and the food court. It's a foodie's paradise, or nightmare perhaps. It was like Shinsaegae but a million times cooler and better, and on crack. They stock Ben & Jerry's ice cream, and all the food looked so beautiful, it was like being in a food museum.
We were all starving so we quickly settled for MK Gold, a restaurant with sakoyaki(?). There's a big bowl of broth in the center and you order plates of veggies, dumplings, noodles, and meat and dump it in. It's like a shabu shabu kind of thing where everyone just digs in. We got lots of green veggies and mushrooms as well as a bunch of other nice things that I couldn't identify, but enjoyed none the less. The sauce was nice, a little sweet and little spicy. To finish it off we ordered some green noodles and a plate of duck which was pretty decent. I was stuffed and overall enjoyed the MK Gold experience.
Apparently, MK is a chain and the one major difference between the MK Gold or Diamond and the regular MK is that the employees don't do the MK song and dance. Secretly, I kinda wanted to see the dance, just so I could see how ridiculous a dining establishment was willing to be in Thailand.
