Leelawadee

Posted by arezzo at 1:36 AM |

I took this picture at Bangkok in Thailand.
The famous temple "Wat Phra Kaew Grand Palace" is located near the "Chao Phraya river".
You will see small market beside of it. just across the road to the river side.
Many verndors on the square and lot of people buying foods.

There are trees with cute flowers ... some are white, anothers are pink.
I used to see it on the street at Chaing Mai where the traditional city in the north.
My friend told me the name.

I can't forget that flower ... really pretty.
Come back to Thailand to see it as soon as possible.

There were some pink Leelawade at the market beside of the "Wat Phra Kaew" too, and usually it's find at garden in the temple..right?

My friend told me the meaning of old name that because changed.
One fallen white Leelawadee on the sidewalk....I didn't take it by camera but I can remember in my mind like a foto, very clearly.

I also found the white one at the temple beside of "Chao Phraya river".
Wish to back there for take the foto of it and also like to have tasty Thai foods... Of course I miss to see my good friends as well.

About Me

My photo
World local cusine and music are a part of my favorites.
Italy, Spain, Portugal, Southern France, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan and Si-Sen from China.
These are wonderful tast of cookings.

Thai food gonna make you surprise with that very hot and spicy taste, it will you bring to the colorful world of taste.
Sweets, I like those from Italia(Italy), Espagnia(Spain), Francaise(France), Japanese. These countries sweets are my favorites.
South Asian dessert uses coconuts taste mostly, I like it too.
Maybe very good sheff makes wonderful taste, but it is not so popular in the town I think.

Japanese sweets.
I love it, because these are famous for very delicate and sophisticated taste with style and stories...better than French I think.
Recommend traditional confectionery. Best place to get it is Tokyo and Kyoto. And each local cities also has remarkable cakes too.

Asian music is also my favorites.
I also love Flamenco from Spain, oops! actually it is dancing not only music.


Let me know, what kind of local music do you have in your area?

Pizzeria in Rome - Roma

Open the modest black door. The pizzeria was next on the corner of Hotel Bernini Bristol at Piazza Barberini.

If you have any interest this pizzeria, it's able to walk from Piazza Espagna.
Famous charch " Trinità dei Monti " is located top of Spanish steps.
Just walk down the narrow sidewalk to the right on Via Sistina ... around 10 minutes on foot, while watching antique Roman street.

The road faced to the Via del Toritone, that is a corner of the Piazza Barberini. ( it's so fantastic to see the fountain, Fontana di Toritone, especially in the summer evening when I walk around on the sidewalk )

Beside, Risotto at Hotel Bernini Bristol, you could find in a grand floor, it has wonderful taste.....

Thin and crispy ... it's a distinctive of Roman pizza.
If you try some of these, it's easy to see and I'm sure you will like it. I love " margherita " and " quattoro formaggio "

Wait for a while, the pizza is coming to your table.
House wine is fine ... it bring you a perfect time with Italian light body red wine.
Enjoy all at classical interiors with nice smiled stuffs.
"Salute!" or "Cin cin" ( toast!) ...
I wish you would have good Italian taste at citta di Roma.

..... Ciao!
