Phuket - Part 1

Well, daddy and mommy took time off to 'celebrate' our birthday to fly off to Phuket for a short 3 days 2 nights trip..

Initially we planned to have a relaxing trip, but as usual we end up being kiasu to try to visit whereever possible areas we can while we are there! ahahaha.. It have been some time since our trip..

Overall, it is about food, food, food, walking, plenty of walking, and venture to the island! Yippie..

** Note: the pics here are not organise by sequence...when upload time need to break to two times, then it will append on top instead of bottom! ** grr

Our second lunch on first day of arrival!..missing in the photo is the fried seafood 'mee'.. See the veges on the tables? There are plenty of these raw veges which I notice locals will just eat it raw together with their main course - eg: just a bowl of plain mee and few bite of veges! The 2 cups is for our bottled coke which cost approx. RM 2 per bottle. On the right is the commonly found 'meat sticks' with chilli source.. we ate plenty of these on our first day! haha..cost around RM 1+ each..strange taste as I couldn't figure out what makes up the meat..but some if good. The seafood mee is sweet...but I love Thai's mee texture .it is 'kenyal'.. approx. RM 5 for one plate. Overall, tried twice fried mee/meehoon there, both are a little too sweet...
Oh ya! This is the fried seafood mee which I mentioned above! Nice texture but a little too sweet..and the meaty stick..
These are the ingrediants.....
First day dinner - from left, mango salad approx RM 5/8 forgot (fuh! super spicy that we cannot finish it. Combination of mango, peanuts, onions, red hot pepper -cili padi, lime and some other raw veges), meaty sticks again, fried meehoon approx Rm 1 (a little too sweet!), roasted chicken with chili sauce approx RM 3 ?(it looks spicy but end up sweet again)... and of course, alchoholic drinks..heehehhe
Our 2nd nite heartful dinner, enough to serve 4 people! This stall is just located at the street in front of our hotel. There are plenty of seafood stalls on this street. We had lala (taste a bit special with some herbs taste), seafood tom yam, fried pineapple rice, fried mee (i think like kuay teow), fried squid. It costs us approx RM 80! And we can hardly walk after that!..

This is where we had our food...Patong Street.. really happening place with food, crafts, clothes, bags, plenty of 'massage' centers and pubs, restaurants....etc. We had a hard time to look for our Thai massage. After plenty of walking, we finally ended up at a Massage Place located strategically at a open area and next to the busy T-junction. It cost approx RM 20 for 1 hour of Thai massage per person... hmmm... :)
I love this display! hehhe..look like my fav drink 'cincau' but didn't really try
These can be found easily too, we bought the one on top for approx RM 3. It taste like tasteless thick appam with hotdog (but no taste) in it..hmm..not recommended.
Anyone dare to try?
Meat Sticks

What I can say... Phuket is convenient especially if you stay at Patong like we did. Plenty of night life, people are very very friendly, polite and soft spoken, transportations are easy. When the Thai ladies speak, it melts my heart..ehhehe..their tourism is widely promoted thus, you can find almost everything there.

Food wise, I still prefer the Thai food in Malaysia..more spicy and less sugar..:)
