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!

Lazy Sunday..

Woke up really late because i have been having this 'untreatable ' headache.  been bugging me for close to 3 months now. seriously annoying when the headache comes. Even, my boss couldn't diagnose me , heh. i was feeling tired at about 6.21am and i was tossing and turning and voila! i manage to fall asleep.. yeaps... woke up really late and just in time to head over to Dempsey for brunch!

i hate it when my eyes look puffy,oh well, i can't complain anyway.

We were at Barracks Cafe, i heard that there are a lot of good reviews about this place so i decided to give it a try, moreover they have pancakes... i love pancakes! especially, mcDonald's pancakes!!! but too late to get it from McD. But the door host was being an asshole seriously, and no one ever mentioned about the service at all. i was pissed of course, and was asked if i mind to sit over at the bar, of course i wouldn't and i did ask if we are allowed to change to a table which I'm more comfortable to have my meal and guess what, he said no. WTF. NO? so i asked what do you mean ? i can't change? so i told him I'll leave at once if i need to tolerate these kind of service. Then the manager took over. i got what i want eventually, a table of course. 

i ordered this, uhm, Curry Mustard Fries.. ($9).  Not something that they are famous for actually. But, I'll give it a 8/10 because it's nice, not too spicy but the curry fragrance is kinda strong tho. Portion wise, too much for one person, just nice for two or three to share. they have all kinds of fries like truffle taro fries ( i don't feel like having truffle) and also Carrot Fennel Fries , uhm, something like straw cut sweet carrot fries.

and then i saw  7-layer Pancake on the menu, which costs ($18) and i thought it would possibly be the biggest pancake that i have ever had! 7 layers!! i was excited , at the same time, i was disappointed too.

 so, this is my pancake, 7-layers? yes.. I've counted it but comes in only a quarter of the full pancake?! sobs..... but thumbs up for their food presentation... although i felt cheated with my pancake, the mixture of colors and the nuttela in between the layers make me wanna just gobble it and eat it with my hands.

they have blueberries and pistachio too:)

then i had the Barrack FreeForm Eggs where you can choose either scrambled, sunny side up or have it poached. i love the roasted tomatoes and the mushroom ragout! taste like breakfast. heh.

Burp.. brunch wasn't fantastic like what others have mentioned.. but as long as my cravings are satisfied.. i'm happy.

it was still pretty early, and it's time to do my monthly shopping:) 

I went to  always happy being there.. cuz i get to get my gummies and play with softies and cars and NERF GUNS!! who wouldn't be right? i get really envious cuz kids nowadays they get to play with hell lots of toys.. back in my era, we only have like h=the normal and boring stuffs like barbie and spiderman  mask and HE-MAN.. now they have a barbie that can blink and change hair color???? it's not fair.. not fair..

it's been raining for the past one week and it hasn't really stop .. i don't like it when the sky is dark and gloomy.. looks like sign of demon or some darkness happening .. heh.. I've been watching horror for the past one week too... I'm probably thinking too much but i really wish for a sunny weekend next week.. i wanna get back to my daily swimming regime.
