Let's continue with Day 2 Itinerary for 2D1N Hatyai Trip (Click here to read on Day 1 Itinerary)
FIRST STOP: Kim Yong Market
We woke up early in the morning and walked to Kim Yong Market, which is located about 800m away from our hotel. It is a local market, so expect to see people selling vegetables, fruits, kuihs, etc....
Uncle, why you photobomb me. =(
Outdoor area, Kim Yong Market.
Huge mangoes are everywhere!
Indoor areas of Kimyong market.
Sis bought a corn as breakfast. Our all-time favourite - corn!
Barbeque pork! Must have for all Thailand trip of mine. XD
We also bought some kuih (dessert) to try. Some are different from those in Malaysia. Yumzz... You need to walk and see carefully to look out for hidden gems. Coincidently, we met our cousin and family there! Had a walk with them and ate our food in their hotel room @ Asian Hotel, which is just 2 minutes walk from the market.
After that, we planned to go to another market to buy nuts and chips back. However, no Tuk Tuk driver is willing to fetch us there because there are only 2 of us T_T. Hence, we decided to cancel that plan and proceed to Lee Garden area for last minute shopping.
SECOND STOP: Burapha Bird's Nest-Shark's Fin (东方燕窝-鱼翅)
It is walking distance from Lee Garden and we stopped by here for a bowl of bird's nest. Shark's Fin is a BIG NO NO. We ordered the cheapest bird's nest to enjoy as our morning tea break. Haha! The main reason that we stopped by Burapha is that the shopping malls are not open yet and we need something to pass time. Clothes aren't attractive out there hence we decided to EAT!
The menu. Oh man! The shark >.< Poor thing
Here's our bird's nest (RM10 each) and they served us some ginseng tea as complementary drink. Nice. =)
They are selling different type of bird's nest and you can purchase if interested.
THIRD STOP: Last minute shopping!!
At 10am, we left for last minute shopping at Odean, 7-11 and Watson. After that, we rushed back to hotel to clean up and pack our luggage. We checked out at 12 noon sharp! XD After keeping our luggage at the lobby, we walked to our lunch place.
FOURTH STOP: Kan Eng Restaurant (甘英餐室)
Kan Eng Restaurant is a famous restaurant for Thai food among tourists. We wonder how good is it hence we decided to give it a try. This restaurant is located on the way to our brunch place on the first day (Chok Dee Dim Sum). We spotted it on the first day hence we have no problem to find our way there for lunch.
Small shop with yellow signboard
It was so crowded when we reach. Luckily we found an empty table to fit 2 of us.
We ordered 4 dishes to share. Yes. 2 girls, 2 rice, 4 dishes. =P
Seafood Tom Yum.
This is quite a decent bowl of Tom Yum as it suits my taste (spicy, but not too much)
Minced pork with basil leaves. This is a typical thai dish and it is very well cooked. Nice.
My all-time favourite stir fried coconut (椰心) with prawns.
Sweetness of the coconut melts my heart away.
