Food glorious food....


I'm doing a separate post solely related to my birthday food! It was just sooooo darn tasty that it deserves its own space...

This was my pre-b'day dinner of whole chilli fish, mixed seafood salad, pla dook (catfish) curry, spicy chilli dip, vege that you can't see, 3 plates of rice and 2 cokes......how much I know you're asking....120 baht...that's AU$4.50...loveit loveit!

Also to give a free plug to this fabulous resort we found in Hat Yai "Pang Mai Resort" (if you live in the area, I highly recommend). The bungalows are super cute (we didn't stay there but will next time), all natural wood, really clean, aircon, pay tv, hot shower, refrigerator and super tastefully decorated..heaps of trees around too. There's also a few man made water falls and fish ponds and an excellent restaurant with really decent prices..Tom Yum Goong was only 60 baht!


















Getting back to my birthday lunch...this is Tom Yum Goong (spicy, sour prawn soup), Larb Gai (chopped chicken salad??), Yum Pla Dook Fu (crispy catfish and mango salad...divinity expressed in fish), fresh basil, beans and cucumber on ice and 4 drinks...this came to a hefty fee of 300 baht ($11.50) but hey it was my birthday so thought we could splash out!!

Definitely want to come back here as the bungalows are only 590 baht ($21) per night and I do love a bargain!

Was fantastic! I'm surprised I don't put on weight here with the amount I eat (not that I'm little anyway!) When I visit oz I always put on about 5 kg (from all the bread) but after coming back here I've lost it again within 2 months of just eating Thai food. Nothing beats Thai food IMO..
