MY Songkla Trip...FOOD!!

Yes, this is all about food....what we have eaten DURING this trip...

Yeah...the taxi guy checking out my friend new ride before he bring us to dinner.... nice eh??

So this time around...i am going to give food review on this Restaurant on Hatyai, which is located in Hatyai City Municipal Centre. Up the hill with a amazing view of the whole Hatyai City.

The name of the restaurant are:

BON KHAO RESTAURANT

1/9, KARNJANAVANICH ROAD

HATYAI, SONGKLA, 90110

This is the view u will get when u dine here....marvellous! :)

This is most spicies tomyum i have tasted in Hatyai, and this thing is full of seafood.... Damn!!

Sweet and Sour Squids.... and i still wondering....why izzit sooooo spicy! Sigh..

this is my favaorite....Deep Fried Pork Leg!! Yummy~ the skin actually are crispy and the meat are soft and tender....best served with the Soy Souce

Asparagus fried with Squids... a little bit of wine taste...something different from Malaysia type..

Deep fried Prawn with Garlic and 5 spices from the chef...one of the highly recommended food in this restaurant.

This one is the same as the Prawn...but we ask for the chicken....end-result....taste the same...GOOD!!!

Sambal Petal Prawn....hot hot hot!!! But still very tasty... :)

All together.... 7 dishes.... FINISH!!

BTW, for all of the above food....it only cost us RM 150 with drinks and tips for the lovely waitress.... worth it or not....u guess!!

The next day...its our BREAKFAST...before heading back to KL!

This is our breakfast....it does look like those normal Wantan mee u can find in malaysia. B ut wait till u taste the mee with their special souce...esp. the meat....very nice and cheap breakfast in Hatyai. Cost us RM 3 per bowl. And it come with a bowl of Meat soup too... :)

MY Songkla Trip...

...was tiring....as usual...

I think some of you guys must be wondering, why am i always travel up to Songkla Province (which is the southern province of Thailand) ?

Well, let me tell you guys, its a most easiest way to travel to, just have to drive up north for 6 hours non-stop and you are into Songkla. Secondly, the food there are good...and cheap! Third, most of the famous temple was located in southern thailand. YES, u heard it correctly, TEMPLE!

Let me start with the photos:

Yeah...i was on the border of Thai-Malaysia around 6.30am....look at the street...empty! Why? Not school holiday or weekend lor...BEST! :)

Once we reach Danok, we have a nice cooling Sugar Cane drink...cost? RM 2.5 for 3 cuppa! :)

On the way to the temple...have some school children doing the traditional dance...interesting :)

And this is the temple that i have visited...Wat Natawee. Still under construction. i can foresee, this temple going to be very beautiful in next 2 years.... :)

And errr...this car really cought my eyes...Hummer H3!! It belong to the Arjan. Only 10 unit of H3 in whole Thailand, and this one is being given by the Govt of Thai. Amazing eh?

The Arjan is having is Brunch....a lotsa stuff to eat.

This is the waiting are for those people come late....btw, i have waited 3 hours for my turn to meet Arjan. Well, i think its worth every second of wait. :)

Finally, its my turn to see him personally.... the major problem with meeting him is...we have some communication problem....he only speak little bit of Hokkien and Malay. English also little bit....but lucky me...he got a telephone translator. :)

After we left the Wat Natawee, we are heading to Wat Pako, which is on the way back to Hatyai too....this is one of the famous temple for Arjan thung follower. Famous in Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Taiwan and some said to Hong Kong too.... WHY??? See the below picture.

B'coz Arjan corpse are still lying in a Glass Coffin.... he have been past away for about 5 years (if i not mistaken) but the Arjan body are still well kept. Hundred of thousand people are coming here to pay a visit to Arjan corpse during the festive season.

This is the upclose shot of Arjan Thung. Still very well kept...

Finally, i get myself a blessing from Arjan Thung student...

This is the Aftermath of whole day driving and whole day temple hopping....everyone ZZzzzZZZz
