Live To The Fullest: HAT YAI TRIP

I think this is the longest post I've written
so far.

DAY 1

We started our journey at around 2 something
in the afternoon.

(Me)

Off we went.

90 minutes later..we were only half way there.

On the way..

You see the green-grass-looking-part?
It's call the rice bowl of Malaysia or something like that..

35 minutes drive later, you can still see the ''bowl''.

After a looooooong 330++ Km drive, we finally reached.

(Hotel Golden Crown Plaza)

We checked in, place our luggage and freshen up.
What's next??

When you are in Hat Yai, of course...

SHOPPING !!

but first, must get $$$$$ from daddy ..

Shopping = need energy = EAT !!

On the very day we arrived, it was actually
the King of Thailand's birthday.

There were fireworks, singing, etc etc.

Too bad I missed the singing part,
I was too busy indulging these...

(Oyster)

These..

(Fish, noodle and kangkung)

and certainly......none of these..

(Tom Yam soup)

Next on the list, attack Central (Hat Yai shopping mall)..

We shop till around 12 something, then back
to the hotel to recharge.

Day 2

Breakfast time..

Erm...Bak Kut Teh (肉骨茶) ??

So many bowls...
It's just morning..how to eat something so heavy?

Errrr...well, I take that back..
Seems like we can finish it.

Never mind that, we need to get to the market
to shop and fast !

How, you ask?

By "Tut Tut" of course.

a WHAT ??

A Tut Tut. Cute huh?

(A Tut Tut)

Don't ask. I don't know why is it named so.

(The Market)

Wrong.
They don't sell fishes, vegetables and meats.

What do they offer then?

All kinds of bags like handbags, luggage bags,
school bags, doggy bags and plastic bags.

More handbags...

Tons of shoes !

Suddenly !!

I saw THIS

One of my friends asked me to get her a white tiger
as a souvenir but I think this is
way~~ better.

It contains a WOW factor don't you think?

Next, what's on the menu for lunch??

(Fried Oyster)

(Crabs)

And the main dish.....

(Shark Fin Soup)

What's that on my chopstick, you ask?

It's.....

(Shark Fin)

After lunch, back to more shopping.

You sure it's jeans??

Take a good look.

It's actually leggings.

3-4 hours of shopping, time for a snack.

Pulut Durian.

Fried Chicken.

Pigeon.

Then back to the hotel for a rest.
Boy, both my legs were aching like...like...like...
like something which aches real bad.

The clock strikes 8 and it reach devour time.

(Dinner - Suckling Pig)

1. Suckling Pig
2. Cucumber
3. Spring Onion
4. Sweet sauce
5. Bun

The other dishes are not important.

Here is how you eat the suckling pig.

First, you take a piece of the suckling pig,
add a bit of sweet sauce on it and
put a stick of cucumber on it.

You can either eat it with the bun or the spring onion.

(How it looks like)

After dinner, continue with the shopping
for 2 hours plus and then end of day 2.

Day 3

Wake up around 9 something, go for breakfast,
pack our stuff and time to head back home.

We only bought a few stuff like

Chocolates.

Nuts.

Mangoes.

Longans.

Boxers-looking-shorts.

T-shirts.

Key chains.

Souvenirs.

plus some other things and yet the car looks packed.

On our way back, we drop by Nibong Tebal for lunch.

There is this restaurant in Nibong Tebal which is very famous for
their crab porridge. It opens at 1p.m and closes at 3 p.m.

How famous? This famous.
