It was a spur of the moment decision for us girls to go to Bangkok for the weekend. We took Cebu Pacific because it was cheap (P8,600 round trip). It departs Manila at 10:05 pm (which in real life is about 10:45 pm as the flight was delayed). We got into a freezing airplane, enough to wear thermal underwear. Mary Anne asked for a blanket and she was told that the blankets are for sale (P450.00). We had no idea that they weren't even going to serve water or Ding Dong peanuts. I mean, we never flew CP internationally before so were in Twilight Zone. No food at all??? I checked out the magazines and saw a "menu". For one cup of noodles, I would have to pay P100.00 (in the grocery, it is only P15.00). The chairs are built for robots. They did not follow the curve of the back and neck so in the end of the flight, we had ice dripping out of our noses, thundering sounds in our tummy, and neck as stiff as if it were injected with liquid Viagra.
The lesson here, fly Thai Airways or Philippine Airlines.
Anyway, lunch the following day made us all forget the horrific 3 hour trip. At Erawan Tea Room by Grand Hyatt Erawan, a beautiful ambiance made us go back to the land of the spoiled brats. We had a great meal and it didn't even hurt out pockets at all.
Located on the 2nd floor of Erawan Bangkok, the Erawan Tea Room serves traditional Thai cuisine complemented by refreshing beverages in a beautifully-appointed semi-casual setting.
Utilising a rich, classic décor, internationally acclaimed designer Tony Chi has revived the nostalgic atmosphere of a bygone era in a Tearoom whose panoramic windows overlook the fascinating Erawan Shrine.
Takeaway packaged products and a wide selection of tea from India, China, Sri Lanka, and Thailand are available.
