Lady chef with Kedah ancestry
after having to starve yesterday, the first thing i did today was to find something to eat first. had a beef soup with fried egg with generous amount which costs 130 baht at Phatdaw Restaurant . the lady chef’s grandfather was from kedah and migrated to Nakhon and married a local there. she speaks “phasa yawi” fluently.
thai muslim and steamed chicken and fried chicken
i not sure if these food have relation with thai muslim because each time i go to the night market, they are selling these food.
Super Cheap supermarket – Thai version of Speedmart99
i have been to 7-11, Big C, some local groceries stores and none of their products seem to impress me. just the same old merchandise sold in Tesco, Hero supermarket but with a slightly cheaper price. i visited Super Cheap after hours of searching fruit juice in Surat Thani and i was surprised with the variety of products sold and its cheap price, including fresh produce, seafood and meat. from the outside it looks like a convenient store attached to a warehouse behind it. its like a combination of Supermart99 and Makro. all this while i have been having breakfast at 7-11 but now i have a better place to go.
Awesome Thai Chicken Biryani (kao mok gai) ข้าวหมกไก่
As usual, the first thing i did after leaving the hotel is to find a good food to eat. i dont really fancy rice type of food but at ไก่ย่างจีราพันธ์ (chirapan), they serve very tasty yellow rice with chicken with an affordable price at 50 baht! the rice can be eaten just like that without adding any sauce. they also have grilled chicken and intestine satay which i regret for not ordering it. i dont know when i will come to surat thani again. this restaurant has a seriously unique menu which differentiate them with other typical thai muslim food ( rice with fried chicken, rice with steamed chicken, typical siamese tomyam stall ).
