Trip to Krabi - Dinner on 1st Nite~~~

Time to update abit on my Krabi trip. Was abit busy wif my pending work in office... Hehe~

It was quite late after we settled into our room. So we went to the restaurant in our resort to have dinner - The Watermark Seafood Grill Restaurant.

There are many unique decoration ard the restaurant...


unique deco light...


unique fork & spoon...

Due to the long distance journey + the hot weather there, all of us ordered fresh fruit juice to cool us down...

me: guava juice please...

baby: orange juice...
baby's sis: watermelon juice please...
baby's sis-in-law to be: Hhmm.... Banana juice la...
me: *so loud* eeeee yyyyeeerrrrr....... BANANA juice???!!!????

Of all drink.... Y la banana juice??? I really wonder how it taste like... Isnt it very filling + fattening??? Hahahaha.......


clockwise: orange juice, guava juice, watermelon juice, eee yyyeerrr... banana juice

First come some appetizer...

Cheese and bacon served only 1 per piece to 1 customer. How does it taste like? Well... I dunno coz I gave my portion to baby. I DUN LIKE cheese~!!!!!!


cheese and bacon...

They also served you with some fresh bread and buns together with some toppings... margarine, vinegar + garlic, sambal & salad sauce. The sambal taste delicious. But... Have to control myself abit. If not before the main course comes, I'll be very full...


fresh bread with toppings...

Here comes the Tom Yum Goong. It served with mushrooms, shrimp and shrimp wonton. 1 bowl is enuf for 2 person. Well, it was ordered spicy but... Is not that spicy. Out of what we expected from Thailand where Tom Yum is known to be VERY spicy. Anyway, the soup was tasty and the shrimp are BIG!!!


tom yum goong...

We ordered 4 main dishes to share.

1) Yum Nua Yang - The spicy roasted beef salad

This salad is really spicy. Beware!!! Chili padi hiding here and there. If you accidentally bite it, the nex thing you will be doing is start wiping your tears non stop. Hahaha~~~


yum nua yang...

2) Nua Poo Pad Phong Karee - Sauteed crab meat with yellow curry powder

I find this dish OK OK only because is quite salty. I drank quite alot of water after the meal.


nua poo pad phong karee...

3) Pla Tod Sam Rod - Breaded fish fillet served with 3 flavors sauce.

The fish is crispy and the flesh is so smooth. The sauce taste different but I prefer eating the fish plain.


pla tod sam rod...

4) Kaeng Kiew Warn Gai - Green chicken curry with thai eggplant

This green curry taste very different from those we ate back in Malaysia. Delicious~~~


kaeng kiew warn gai...

There are 3 types of rice to choose from - white, red and brown rice. I tried all 3 and find it no differences besides their colours. Haha~!!!


white, red & brown rice...

It was a nice dinner for the nite. The price was quite reasonable as it is served in a resort. Im sure eating outside at a restaurant will costs almost the same or mayb slightly lower.

Before we leave, they will provide us with cold hand towel. See~! The wrap the towel into a 'rose' shape.

Trip to Krabi - The Journey~~~

Took few days off from work to Krabi, Thailand for a short holiday with my baby, his sister and future-to-be sister-in-law.

As usual (my 2nd/3rd time taking AirAsia), we received sms informing us that there's a delay in our schedule (12:05pm --> 3:30pm). Well, we are consider lucky as we received the sms few days before.

Stil remember a week ago, my relatives are heading back to Kelantan after attending my cousin's wedding. They have to wait in LCCT for more than 4 hours as their flight delayed. However,
*take note* according to AirAsia, "...AirAsia provides its guests a guarantee that they will receive compensation for flights that are delayed by more than 3 hours from the scheduled time of flight departure...". So, my relatives, each (11 of them) managed to get a RM200 E-gift refund for the flight delayed.

As scheduled, the flight departed LCCT at 3:30pm SHARP!
The flight wasnt tat full when we departure. I guess people are afraid to travel north due to the democratic crisis happening in Bangkok, Thailand.


me and my baby...

It was quite a nice weather. Managed to take some nice photos...


clouds...

1 hour 45 mins later... YEAH~!!! We finally arrived at Krabi International Airport. Is quite a small airport...


krabi airport...

There's already someone from the hotel waiting at the airport lobby, welcoming our arrival.

The guy: "Madam... We wil now send you to our resort. It will be a 2 hours ride including two ferry rides..."

All of us: "Wat???!!!??? 2 hours???" *pengsan*


police guarding outside the airport...

Airport --> 1st ferry ride stop = 50 mins

The ferry looks quite old and rusty. But guess wat... is stable. You dun feel seasick at all...

1st ferry ride = 20 mins + 10 mins waiting time

We have to travel a short distance to reach the 2nd ferry ride stop... Im gonna puke... The driver's driving skill is terrible... *sick*


To reach 2nd ferry ride stop= 10 mins

The next stop... Going for 2nd ferry ride...
