Sivalai Secrets?
So, I'm heading to Sivalai Place in @Bangkok next month. Heard it's gorgeous, but the online reviews are...mixed. Some rave about the rooftop pool, others complain about noise. Anyone stayed there re… more
Stayed there last spring. Rooftop pool is amazing, view's incredible. Noise wasn't a huge deal for me, but I'm a pretty heavy sleeper. It's definitely a city hotel – you'll hear some street noise, especially on the lower floors. I was on the 7th and it was fine. But yeah, some nights there was definitely some rumble, like traffic or maybe a motorbike or two. Nothing that kept me awake, though. Probably wouldn't hurt to pack earplugs just in case, but you might find you don't need 'em.
Top's Mysterious Produce
So I went to Tops, that massive supermarket near CentralWorld. I swear, some of their fruit looked…off. Like, almost too perfect. The mangoes were all identical, the color was unreal. I bought a b… more
Yeah, I've noticed that too. Tops' produce selection sometimes feels…processed. Like, it's all meticulously uniform, almost too perfect to be natural. I’ve had similar experiences with the mangoes – stunning to look at, but flavor is…lacking. I think they prioritize appearance over taste sometimes, maybe to meet some impossible visual standard. It's a shame, because sometimes their stuff is great, but you just never know what you're gonna get. It's a bit of a gamble!
Totally get what you mean. It's like they've perfected the look of a perfectly ripe peach, but forgot about the actual peach part. I’ve had that with their bell peppers – vibrant colors, but almost no flavor whatsoever. It’s frustrating! I'd rather have a slightly bruised but bursting-with-flavor tomato than a flawless, tasteless one any day. Maybe they should hire someone whose job is just to taste-test everything before it hits the shelves. A "Taste Quality Control Officer" or something. They could even have a blind taste test against a local farmer's market – I bet the results would be illuminating.
