My Valentine's (Hat Yai trip)

I spent my valentine's at Hatyai this year. This trip consider a celebration for us. 

No candlelight, no flowers, no chocolate, no fancy romantic arrangements, just a Hat yai trip since old man never been there before. Suagu right?

I used to follow my big family to Hat yai twice. 

And they very good on finding street food which i very proud of to have them as my families.

I don't need to surf internet or ask people around.

Specially thanks to mk and jess for their favor to become our driver.

What am i going to do without both of them?

Mk be my driver when i need her to bring me to klang sentral to buy bus ticket.

The bus seller straight ask us where to go when we got there. So, don't need worry about how to buy the bus ticket. 

But i suggest to drive ourselves or follow trip agency cause 'tutuk' there call up the price when they saw tourist. It's would be more worth to drive yourself up there if u wanna out from Hatyai Central town.

We were so regret for not driving ourselves cause when we planning out of the town to go to the temple and floating market, tutuk there charge us very high price like 800baht two way.. So not worth hence we cancel the Songkhla temple and floating market :(( 

But i insist to go the nearest temple. 400 baht  two way. 

Still, it's damn expensive. but what to do, we got whole day to spent.

************************

 We stayed at Hansa JB hotel, a 4 star hotel and has a club by it own.

100 baht entry per person and free two bottle of Calsberg. Very cheap and so many ah gua.. hoho..

My man is the attraction of the gay gang of the night.

As i mentioned i stay at Hansa JB hotel, we accidently found a night market just nearby the hotel we stayed.

Old man asked the chinese local there whether the market open at every weekend, the answer is No.

Only open for CNY from day 1 till day 10.

Not to mention, i bought a hair straightener only 330 baht, short pants for 3 only 150 baht, a nice purce 100 baht, bought to my brother a shirt (good quality) only 120 baht. How cheap!!!

I assume the market is only do the local business as we as the tourist don't even know got such cheap market. hoho... we are the lucky one!!

 

The things must do in Hat yai : MASSAGE.

The first day we got there, we went for full body massage only 200baht per person.

the second day we went to the same massage shop for the foot massage only 180 baht per person.

I purposely ask for the strong strength unties massage for us.

I love the hear 'creck' bone sound. =P

Location: Tunnee Massage --> Thanon Manasruedee (Hatyai central) 

****************************

Hat Yai food is highly recommended, but cannot just simply eat due to the hygiene problem.

I got the food poisoning the first time i went with my family. It's torturing...

1) Char siew and pork fried -->Night Market near Hansa JB (only open for CNY)

2) Sesame sweet dumpling serve with soup --> Corner side near Sakura Hotel (Hatyai central only for night)

3) edible bird's nest & gingko --> Hatyai central

4) Fried chicken --> Hatyai central market 

5) Chicken noodle soup (the soup is special and delicious)  --> Night Market near Hansa JB (only open for CNY)

5) Chicken rice--> Hatyai central ( 哥弟茶店）

 6) Seafood porridge --> Thanon Manasruedee (Hatyai central)

7) Duck noodle soup --> Thanon Pracharan (Hatyai central)

8) Seafood noodle soup --> in front of Hansa JB shop. (shop lot just opposite the road)

i've forgotten to take picture as well. sorry my bad.

Don't ask me which one is nice, everything of above is superb nice and delicious.

Not to forget the bread, also sell at the hatyai market.

 3 different type: planta, kaya, and meat floss, so damn delicious.

************************

Lastly, the picture of us. 

I complained to him that everyone posted at their facebook about how fabulous their valentine were. They went to eat steak at least.

I also want!!

End up, we went to a bar to fulfill my demand. haha!! I'm so demanding~~

The menu there quite cheap, overall only 700 baht for 2 steaks and 3 drinks.

It was a enjoyable trip indeed. At least we don't get food poisoning at last and manage to eat the food that i wanted.

That's all for my valentine's. How about urs?

Penang MUST EAT street food. (Recommended by local)

I was following old man outstation to Penang last week. And i purposely search the CNN website for the Penang famous food. Totally useless. No address no mention what time is opening. Very lack of information.

Hmm, never trust the internet.

But luckily his local colleague knows exactly which hawker is nice and recommended to us.

1) His colleagues said this is the no. 1 yummy cendul in town. Don't trust other's cendul.

 I don't really into it cause sweetness is my enemy.

 2) Chicken rice. Lebuh Chulia. This is definitely yummy. 

3) Squidto, Gurney Plaza. Highly recommended from Taiwan. 

The combination of the cheese, rice and the squid. One is never enough.

4) Tai Tong Dim Sum restaurant, near Lebuh Campbell. (also recommended by his colleague)

As i said, i hated sweet, and i hated 'tan tat' as well because of its crust.

However, i changed my mind about 'tan tat' after had tried on this.

We didn't actually eat much at that morning cause we woke up quite late in the morning =(

I'm dying for cough for this whole week. Old man slept next to me has to babysitting me the 3 nights in Penang. Definitely a bad time for me to fall sick. Why cough instead of others? Why? I became a medicine bag already @@

And this is ME! hoho, i'm loving my hair <3 

Love the way they fall on my shoulder. kekez....

And lastly, the us. He try to fulfill every of my demand now. I mean food. =P

Okay, that's all for today. Can't wait for our reunion dinner and CNY's trip.

Cough, please leave me alone!!

Goodnight, pretty and handsome. =D
