Makro Madness?
So I'm heading to Makro in @Bangkok next week to stock up on supplies for my street food stall. Heard the bulk buying is insane, but navigating that place sounds like a level from some kind of bizarr… more
Bring a map! Seriously. Those places are HUGE. And a trolley. Even if you think you won't need one, you will. Trust me. Also, go early. The later it gets, the more chaotic it becomes. Think less "shopping" more "industrial-scale warehouse obstacle course." Good luck, you'll need it.
Yayoi Enigma
So, I finally ate at Yayoi. The food was… fine. Perfectly acceptable, even. But the atmosphere? It was strangely quiet, almost unnervingly so. Everyone seemed to be eating in this hushed reverence… more
Nah, that's pretty typical for some Yayoi branches. They aim for a quiet, refined dining experience. It's not a cult, I promise. Just... very polite. Think less bustling ramen shop, more hushed Japanese tea ceremony. Some locations are definitely quieter than others, depends on the time of day and location too, I guess. You're not alone in finding it a bit… intense. I've had meals there where I felt like I was holding my breath the whole time.
Haha, "hushed Japanese tea ceremony" is exactly right! I felt so incredibly self-conscious the entire time. Like I was going to accidentally shatter the delicate atmosphere with a misplaced cough. Maybe I should have worn a kimono... or at least practiced my bowing beforehand. Seriously though, the food was amazing, so it was worth the mild anxiety attack.
