WARNING: Lots of food pictures as well as my own face cause it was raining everyday! We forgot to check and it happened to be monsoon season when we were there! Still enjoyed it with all the massive eating and shopping.
One in Singapore and the other on the cab to the hotel in Phuket.
What we had for lunch that day! Didn't do much cause we wanted to rest after the flight and plan for the rest of the days. (At this point, it was still very sunny and we didn't know it was going to rain yet!) So lunch was at Turtle Village, a tiny market/shopping place for tourists staying in nearby hotels, in a cafe called The Coffee Club. Nope, it is not the same coffee club that we have in Singapore. Just happened to have the same name. And we frequent this cafe many times over our stay cause the food is way good! Especially love the lemon fried calamari!
A walk around the Hotel and to the back of the hotel where we can see the sea! The place is really gorgeous, made us feel really relaxed. Service was excellent! Everyone in the hotel address us by our names everywhere we go and every time we went to the counter to ask for help! Really friendly service staff, ever ready to help! They used a buggy to drive us to our room, introduced themselves and the hotel to us. Brought us into the room, gave us plenty of maps and itinerary. About 15mins after they leave, they called to check on us to see if we settled down comfortably. I was completely sold.
Dinner was at a small stall just outside the hotel. Love the seafood but hate the amount of mosquitoes around! Especially so, since I tend to really attract them! :( Found this cute little thing hiding under a table when we were about to leave!
Dinner for the second day. We decided to stay in and order room service since it was raining outside and we are exhausted from our Phiphi Island trip. No pictures cause I didn't dare to bring my camera out to sea. Anyway, there wasn't much to take cause it was raining throughout. The ocean pizza was quite alright, but love goes to the pumpkin cheese ravioli with spinach in olive oil. It's good for two to share cause it can get quite 'gerlat' for one. Brownie with raspberry sauce was of course very satisfying to complete the meal with. This evening's dinner was accompanied by Australian Junior Masterchef! Can't ask for more. Later part, we went to have supper by the beach!
Third day was spent shopping at Central festival and having dinner at The Coffee Club again! Actually, we didn't really shop much cause we spent all our energy to hunt down this hair mask for me! Finally found it after going into 4 Boots shop! I hope the Guardian Pharmacy in Singapore will bring in Boots soon, so I don't have to go hunt for it every year and bring back 4 bottles at a go! It's super heavy!
Fourth day. Walking around Patong and regretted having this lobster (kinda). It was nice, but we were actually hoping to find something more local. The cheese seemed to have taken away the original taste of lobster meat. Like all you can taste is cheese! We did went for massage at this gorgeous looking place but I forgot to take a picture of the entrance!
Our loots from the entire trip and then it's time to go home! Quite disappointed that I didn't get to go Krabi, ATV or even ride on an elephant! I will definitely go back there again before I finally go Maldives! Till the next trip!
P.S. I will try to do one post per week. A tiny promise to myself!
