Phuket escapade

Landed myself in Phuket again and the best of all.. with my childhood best friends. The clear skies and blue seas, almost like a dream come true that I get to take a break and spend sometimes quality time with my best friends.  We got to stay at The Westin and I would say they definitely maintain their standards being a 5-star hotel , equally good with my previous recent stay over at Cape Panwa but more facilities and perks. We get to drive around in buggy from one place to another because it is just simply too impossible to get places in the resort with walking. We took a really early flight and just in time for lunch when we check in. Car ride was looooooong.. rent a pretty comfortable and spacious van to drive us from the airport to Westin and that took us about an hour or so... besties tried Thai food and i was craving for peet-zah.

By the time we check in and get ourselves settled, it's already time for dinner. We took a ride to Patong Town. Patong is the busiest district in Phuket and it is probably the best place to stay for holidaymakers but we wanted a quieter place instead . those who want to see the colorful lifestyle and feel the heartbeat of Phuket really should consider living in the town itself. We headed over to the night market for some authentic Thai street food. No fancy restaurants but just living the life like the rest of the Thais made it really adventurous this time. We were so in love with the barbeque grilled corn and the coconut milk shake is something that i would die for. It is definitely fattening but ALL THAIs LOOKED THIN AND SLIM. We had all the spicy stuffs regretted a little and when we had our toilet runs cause it burns..

We had foot massages after shopping around the district and bought some tanks for my Mister. I was really full as I do not usually eat that much. We needed massages badly and i would say this masseuse  is really good. I returned the next day and we somehow made a new friend. She , Miss Noy , was telling me about life, hardship, plastic surgeries, business and some private stuffs. Don't ask me why she felt so comfortable talking to me.  We hung out till wee hours and have lots to catch up with. It made me realized somehow we have all have alot in common, in terms of independence, work and people that we've encountered. I'm thankful to have a bunch of best friends like them. 

I'll let the pictures do the talking for now. Will certainly update my blog constantly!

Best friends forever. 

Nom-nom and friends

Visited Dolce Tokyo with fwens: ) it's amazing how they could combine eggs and pancakes together. I honestly thought that it would taste
funny but to my surprise.. it is darn goooood. 

Eating became my hobby lately and I should really start cutting it down = eat clean and healthy. Well, Mister and I enjoy watching movies and spending time together a lot but we enjoy snacking slot before sleep too! Bad,bad badly bad. Well we have been exercising,  we tried and will try harder!

海底捞火锅

Yup! Guess what ? I've been craving for chinese steamboat lately and I would say this is the best stecustomization er out of all the places i've been to. Well, of course, good food comes with a price to pay, It's either it's expensive or longer queue, and so, I waited 2 hours to get to my seat. This is the only place that provides free drinks and snacks for customers while waiting in queue. Nt just that, they have free manicure as well, but i suggest you can forget about getting your nails done there.. there's only one manicurist and there will be like 20 people before you. meh.

I was impressed with the place as it was spacious and comfortable to sit in. It is clean, and temperature was just nice and the staffs were extremely friendly. you get smiles everywhere and greeted as you walk by. Everyone seems to be very happy working there and it makes me happier to be there!

we went for the usual broth, the "extreme spicy "and  chicken ginseng . It was a wrong move to get the spicy soup base because it has STAR ALICE! yes star alice what the eff.. i'm sure i will like the soup if its not for the star alice.

I love it when their ingredients were fresh and portion was just nice. Best part is you get to have a personal server that standby all the time whenever you needed something.

Very nice ambiance and because it is located at the central and clarke quay, you get to see alot of people dressed up in minis and heels. We ordered some "la mian" as well and this guy basically just go around tables to perform his specialty in making "la mian" in the air like doing some kung fu taichi stuffs with the la mian. Fascinating. 

Remember to make reservations earlier!

Then we headed to the Magnum house for our own customized magnum ice cream! I would say it's quite pricey for just a Magnum, well it's not like MEGA MAGNUM but just ordinary size ones.. so i paid $7 bucks for one.. mehhhhhh

Look at the gold flakes and my hearty choco and i caramelized my magnum. hahah. 

A truly blessed weekend.
