Jumbo @ East Coast Park

Yet another seafood place. Well, when we are real stuck for Chinese restaurants (all the time when I bring my parents out), we have to head somewhere like this.

So, here we go.

The only thing that I picked! Hooray! I love baby squids!!! Yum yum. I love it. The sweet and spicy sauce and the crispy bbq squid. I think not everyone like it as much as I do, because I ate most them. Haha.

The pork floss toufu is not too bad too! I like the crispy skin and the sweet and spicy sauce that was below the toufu (more spicy than the baby squid). Yum yum. The pork floss did not bland very well with the toufu though. (Please note that we should have 9 pieces on the plate. Food was taken away before I can snap my photo!!!!)

Duck was pretty soft but I find the meat a little rough. Not something that I would expect from the thigh. Apparently, not the entire thigh was that rough. Pick properly! The sauce was good. I'm scared of mushrooms now. Haha.

Oh, the BBQ fish was great! Everyone was singing praises of it!! Nicely BBQ and the taste that went into the fish was great. It was the best dish as practically nothing was left at the end of the dinner. Haha.

Salted egg crab. My impression is that there should be more pork floss around. No? Hmm. Taste was not bad but the crab was not fresh enough. Ok, it was fresh but still, it sticks to the shell. Not something that I would expect from the amount of money I paid for. Ha.

This was the vegetable tempura that came with the crab. Oh, it reminds me of the Kan Eang at Phuket. The Phuket one was much better. This just tasted like a normal fried flour?

Chili crab with the bun at a distant. The crab was really fresh. I would say it is nice if I had not ate the ones at Auntie's place. There's not enough sweetness (tomato sauce I guess) and too much chili for this recipe. It's was a little disappointing for me. But the freshness of the big big crab made up a little of course.

Overall, I am not going to return unless I run out of Chinese restaurants again. But seriously, we do have quite a lot of places like Pu Tien that is so much better. I cannot say I did not enjoy the dinner because I did like the food albeit it was not fantastic. And the cost dimmed the entire thing by ALOT ALOT! I think I do not enjoy seafood as much as before now. Ha.

Eating in Phuket - Kata Mama

Other than Mali seafood which is more expensive, this was the recommended seafood restaurant that's cheap and good around Kata beach. A place that we dun have to travel far to. Well within walking distance! Goood! It's right at one end of the Kata beach!

The place here is really nice. Nice breeze, nice checkers cloth which is like the must have for any beachside restaurant, light bulbs that's really pretty. And the most important one, cheap and delicious food. =)

They dun really have great coconuts though. I had the only sweet one. Lol! I think coconut is the staple drink/fruit at the beach leh.. LOL!



Pineapple rice is not bad. It's a must eat in Thailand, isnt it? LOL! I find the rice pretty tasteful. Hehs. And the pineapple is sweeet! Yum yum! But too bad, it doesnt have my favourite pork floss on it. Boohoohoo.



Since the name is called Phuket soup, it should be a must try when we are in Phuket right? Haha. Well, it says spicy again. No, it's salty! Lol. And ar, it just tasted like the mee sua soup my mama always cook for me. There's some mee sua in the soup lo. Haha. On top of the meatballs. Well, it's not too bad, but it's not a must eat either!



This is the garlic and pepper prawns. Urm, I was hoping for a similar garlic from the restaurant in Langkawi. But no, nothing like that came. The garlic was quite nice though. But, the prawns are a little too small le ba? Right? Lol. I really think the prawns are extras. I can just have the garlic will do. Lol!



YX says that BBQ squid is a must eat! So, we ordered it. Haha. It's really very nice! It has a BBQ taste in it. Omg, it's. HEAVENLY! I swear. If not, why would we order a second plate? Hahaha. The chili totally made it really really really nice too. Purfect! =) The 2nd plate din fail us too!



So because of the squid, we ordered more bbq stuffs. Hmm. The prawns were like, just prawns. Yes it's fresh, but, there's no BBQ taste in it. So, no way am I going to order BBQ prawn from this place again. Hahahaha!

In the end, we only spend like 880 baht ($30.50) here! Cheap and nice! Me like!
