My Bizzare Brainwork Says

Food @ Ao Nang, Krabi

Of all the many post to come on Krabi, i decided to start bombarding you guys with food first My expertise *erhemm*

First day dinner we went to this place called Wang Sai after asking the locals on where’s the best place for food. From what we observe during the day, there’s not much local food around. It’s really a nice place, spacious and right next to the beach.While waiting for the food, we had our drinks. Beers at 50bht. woohoo!

Since it’s only the 2 of us, we had just a few dishes. The pineapple fried rice and green curry came first. They serve pretty fast given the number of customers they had that night.

Then the very well made squid. It has the right amount of sourness for you to wrinkle your face however balance it with the right amount of sweetness and spicyness! Yummeh!

The crab with egg. Hard to describe. Very nice texture to chew..

The restaurant. We were stuff to the maximun by the time we are finished with it. Even so, we couldn’t finish everything The bill came up to about <700bht. Considerably cheap for all the seafood and servings. ahahah

For both day lunches, it was provided by the tour that we signed up for. No idea on that, maybe McDonald Pork burger at 150bht per set? Or for those who need their caffeine fix, there’s starbucks..hahaha. Second night, we wander around in search for some cheaper food.

It was actually quite hard to find authentic Thai food except for some stalls infront of Krabi Resort which closes by dawn. Most of the restaurants there cater for eurasions so utimately most of the food are Swedish, Danish, Italian, English and surprisingly the best food in AoNang is Indian Food!! =.=

Finally we found a small hawker centre like place opposite Krabi Resort again, just a little way up Ban Ao Nang Hotel. It is something similar to Gurney Drive, a tourist trap haha. All the waiters there are friendly as hell, genuine or not, i enjoyed it all together

Since we don’t feel like stuffing ourselves silly again, we had a small meal. Before that, our drinks again. Quite a wait as the place is filled to the brim..

Pineapple fried rice again. The staple seafood tomyam that you must have when you are in Land of Smiles. the delicious drumstick, simply delicious and of course some fried noodles for the sir. They are pretty generous with their ingredients.

It was a cheap yet awesome dinner that is cheap. Just 300bht for everything.

So on the last night in Krabi, we decided to try out the western food they offered there. I mean, if they cater to so many foregineirs every single day, it wouldn’t be bad food right. Plus, most of the restaurants are open and managed by “farangs” or foreigneirs themselves offering their country food.

After wandering up and down the strip of Ao Nang beach for about an hour, deciding and scrutinizing every restaurants, we finally settled for Jeanette’s Place facing the beach. It was fully packed (so is every other rest =.=) but we got our table quickly and served promptly. Although the thai waitress kept stressing that we order our drinks first.

The paintings hanging on the wall are up for sale. Creative huh? Anyway, the above 2 photos is to show you that there’s no asians at all~~!!

My swedish meatballs with cranberry sauce, mountains of mash potatoes and some brown sauce. The mash are absolutely amazing! I love it! We love it! I already am a big fan of Ingolf mash but this is just so much better! The portion of meatballs might look little but it’s damn filling cos its…meatball..hahaha

MrSmallFace’s chicken shnitzel(not sure of spelling) taste like any other shnitzel. Crispy, crunchy and fattening. HAHahaaha

For the meal, we paid less than RM55 for it. Not bad huh? and it tasted real good. Oh yea, inclusive of drinks

Last food tips and most important from Krabi that i can give it TRY the PANCAKE by the roadside! It’s so nice and cheap. And the way they make it is exactly like roti canai. except that they have a long range of top ups you can order. Most of it are just 20bht.

Emmmhhh, the chocolate and honey topping. We had it everyday we were in Krabi..hehehe

More on Krabi soon..

First i’ve got less than 24 hours to watch MRAZ! I’m so excited!

A weekend in Hadyai

To know more about Lisbon, Sintra and Belem, *click*

Things to do if you have only 2 days in Hadyai.

EAT much much food till you explode! Just tell the tut tut driver the name of the place, then he’ll bring you there. Hadyai is too small to be lost.

Try KanEng for the stir fried crab meat, tomyam gung and sweet&spicy deep fried fish. Must go 59 or Ha Sip Kau for the claypot flowercrab “tanghoon” i dono what issit called in english. sorry. Another must order at 59 is the claypot bittergourd pork ribs stew..Very yummy.. We also ordered something called KengSom, definately very “keng” because it’s so spicy no one are able to finish their own small bowl. Fyi, it taste like curry mix tomyam. Don’t judge it by my standard as i totally surender when it comes to spicy food. I don’t even take curry mee.

Ride a tut tut and feel like a local. Sometimes i feel i am in a car chase scene..Life threatening ride.

Be spoilt with cheap birdnest and sharkfins. Don’t get me wrong. I am very against people eating shark fin because i think it’s a very cruel thing to do. But I cant stop people from eating it except giving them a piece of my mind and stand back.

However, bird nest is diffferent..hahaha..1 bowl full of bird nest is only 300bht = RM30. fuckin cheap. Anyone can “rinse mouth with bird nest and have shark fins with rice” < cantonese saying.

Take in as much as local food again. It’s all about food~! Be a tourist. Do stupid things.

Local food to try at night:-

1. The super spicy beef/pork balls and sausage infront of Lee Garden. It’s really super spicy. The mild one is known as spicy sauce -.-| -.-|
2. The kaya/chickenfloss/butter and sugar bun infront of Pink Lady. The kaya is a MUST try. It’s so good!!
3. The fried chicken stall just next to bun stall.
4. The mango and sticky rice shares the same stall with fried chicken
5. McDonald samurai pork burger and the Shrimp burger. It’s so good!!
6. Swenson ice cream! fucking cheap tak boleh tahan

Go for thai massage~! How can you miss it. Just note the price is about 240bht for 2 hours full body massage. Since we were occupied during massage no photos. The obligatory Sawadee Ronald photo!

At night, go for some “show” (includes blowing horn, bursting balloon, firecrackers and coke bottle opening) ..go for a drink at the pub or the option we headed for.. playing games and team building in our very own hotel room

Weapon of choice:-

and Asahi beer at 350BHT, Smirnoff Vodka huge bottle at 680BHT… Will you not drink? Did you not see hoegaarden is just 130BHT? Honestly, even the holiest guy who claims he don’t drink will probably end up wasted sleeping in a corner while holding a mama instant noodle in 1 hand.

The night was fun. Bonding with your colleague with icebreaking games that need not use brains and the sole purpose it was created in the first place is to confuse you more. Photos are withheld… Here’s a very very adorable pomenarian instead

The few remaining ones…

And the last ones standing!! and we woke up the earliest out of all people. 8am!!

Thank you for such a fun weekend away from home! We all need a refresher weekend sometimes and this comes at the right time.You guys a great bundle of fun and awesome team. Quite sad Kimmie couldn’t be there although I’m sure she had her share of fun in KL

Bombastic Bangkok

Wee! Finally executed the plan of holidaying oversea with friends. Yang bertolak dari Penang lah. The frequency of me dropping my passport on the floor or dropping my luggage with a loud *thud* was so high, friends suspect my ability of traveling Great Britain myself.

Once checked in, we rushed out in search of food. Should we have this?

or this, Samurai pork Burger with cheesy fries with ice cold latte that give Starbucks a run for it’s money ~!

but we choose to have nice vermicelli noodles by the roadside, with extremely spicy economy rice, so spicy it made the MEN of the trip cry; and aunties that lives up the friendly reputations of Thais.

Poor fat dogs that ppl used a marker pen to “conteng-menconteng”…

The typical thing to do after a long day in Thailand… Thai MASSCHATTT~!!

After the massage, we went for a perfect thai dinner. To dine in the same place as the Thai Princess and ex Japanese Prime Minister, Koizumi… well worth the wait. Coincidently, the place ( Somboon) is no more than 10minutes walk away from our hotel. How wonderful can it get  :love:

You’ll notice a lot of Japanese dining there as well. We had very nice eggy crab, omelet oysters, Siam Style steam fish, NICE mango sticky rice, “tang hoon” with crab claw and obviously tomyum kung!

After dinner we felt like just passing out on our beds, but the ever enthusiastic tour guide, Nidnoi already have plans for us. “Get ready!! ” She asked us..so kinda reluctantly, we got dressed.

Took a cab to THE PLACE.

and never look back.

It’s seriously one of the best clubbing places to be. The name to remember when you are in BKK -

RCA

We did not took much photos, because we left the cameras back in the room thinking it will be short trip. We have no intention to leave that place at all after standing in awe before the clubssss… @_@

So best we wanted to go there again the next day and the day after… so best I did not feel like clubbing in Penang nor KL for months… -.-|

I must finish blogging about Bangkok!
