Issaya Siamese Club - Bangkok

This weekend, hubby treated me to a little getaway in Bangkok :)

In 3 and 1/2 years that we have lived in Singapore, this was our first visit to the Thai capital and I have to say we were both pleasantly surprised after having heard mixed reviews on it.

In this post I would like to share with you the most - out - of - this - world - amaaaaazing - Thai fusion cuisine we have ever tasted!!!

A little hidden gem nestled in a canopy of lush greenery in the heart of the city, Issaya is a must try when visiting Bangkok.

Oh... and I forgot to mention that they grow their own local organic veggies in their backyard!

Tropical Chia Pudding - 3 ways

Lets kick off the week with a healthy, summery and tropical recipe : Chia seeds pudding.

Chia seeds are some of the healthiest seeds around, rich in omega 3 fatty acids, manganese & fibre amongst many others, they are acclaimed for their many health benefits including helping to lower risk of heart disease as well as good for helping with weight loss. 

For my Chia tropical pudding, add coconut water to the dry seeds and once they have doubled in volume and have reached a thick consistency, sprinkle with your favorite fruits, in this recipe I used mango, dried coconut flakes, dragon fruit, banana and raspberries.

Enjoy!!!
