Southern Thailand Trip. Day 4: Hatyai

This fascinating family eating excursion begins at Hatyai's long-standing Nora Plaza retail mall. The bright atmosphere and large selection of things impress us as soon as we enter. 

In addition to apparel and accessories, the mall has several quirky products that make it interesting. Explore this treasure trove! We browse fashionable apparel, try on trendy accessories, and select intriguing mementos to take home. 

After spending an enjoyable time exploring Nora Plaza and picking up some unique finds along the way, we're ready to move on to our next destination.

Ranu Kohyo is our snack heaven! This lively market is known for its variety of delicacies, from traditional to creative. The tantalizing scents of Ranu Kohyo overwhelm us as we enter. We become delighted as we go by rows of delicious food kiosks.

Cashew nuts, popular in Hatyai, come salted, roasted, or chocolate-covered. We try numerous sorts before choosing our favorites for tasty mementos. Ranu Kohyo sells dried fruits, candies, and various nuts in addition to cashews.

Located in the heart of Hatyai, Zaina Dimsum is a must-visit spot for any food lover. This charming eatery specializes in serving mouthwatering dim sum dishes that are sure to tantalize your taste buds. As we step into Zaina Dimsum, we are greeted by the aroma of freshly steamed dumplings and the bustling atmosphere of diners enjoying their meals. The restaurant's vibrant decor adds to the overall dining experience.

With satisfied appetites and happy hearts after indulging in a delightful dim sum feast at Zaina Dimsum, we're took tuk-tuk back to the hotel to rest in that afternoon. After a refreshing, it's time for us to head towards Khloang Hae Floating Market for an evening meal like no other.

The market comes alive with colorful stalls lining both sides of the canal. Boats adorned with mouthwatering dishes float along the water, creating a unique dining experience. The aroma of sizzling meats and aromatic spices fills the air, enticing us to explore further.

We navigate through the bustling market, taking in the sights and sounds of vendors passionately preparing their specialties. From grilled skewers of succulent meat to steaming bowls of noodles, there's an endless array of options to choose from.

Some of the trip may have a  specific write-up  and you may click on the travelling month. Here is the world travel map, courtesy of TripAdvisor.

Sarapan pagi  kat airport We had been rotating to visit the Southeast Asia country each year and this is the fourth time visit to Indonesia after Bali (2010),  Bukittinggi (2012) and Bandung (2014). Looks like we made a return every 2 years, that's interesting! We may need to consider other countries like Brunei, Philippines or Cambodia in the near future. Three hours later, we arrived Lombok International Airport at noon. We were welcomed by Pak Ibrahim's staff shortly after clearing immigration and collecting our luggage.

Singapore Trip: A lion-city escapade

Watch out! It is a zika-free :P trip to the city of light that we had on the 2nd mid-term school holiday, apart from the 'balik kampung' to Ipoh and JB on both week end. My wife managed to secure a stay for 2 nights at the 'Rumah Peranginan Persekutuan' where it supposed to be a big family trip with my siblings.  It was a big vacation house, which I believe can cater at least 15-20 people. For some reasons, they had to turn it down. Note: Pictures taken are not in the best quality as I'm still get my hands on the new DSLR camera.. wink.. wink..
