Felicia will be making a trip down to Hatyai during Chinese New Year to make friends with my gfs there. She'll be staying at Meridien Hotel (cost 1050 batts per night), so you can crash at her room if you make a trip there..

Food Post

There's a restaurant in Perlis, you can say it's my favourite one around here. The location is very "special". Let's have a look...

Liang Hup is a coffin shop. I do not eat there, but rather at the shop beside it, Restoran Chanida. This restaurant is opened by a Thai Malaysian, who married a Thai girl from Thailand. The food is simply fantastic (for me who love spicy food).

House speciality is the 'Thai-style steamed ikan siakap'. It's kept warm over hot-buring charcoal, so you never get a cold fish. The dish is a combination of sour and spicy, and is simply wonderful.

Alternatively, you can check out their sweet and sour fish. Fish fillet will be cut out anf the fillets fried separately from the main fish body. After frying, the fillets will be arranged onto the fish body, and generous amount of sweet and sour gravy poured onto the fish.

Thai-sytle telur bungkus. The egg fried ala 'nasi goreng pattaya' and minced pork with tomato seasoning wrapped into the egg. It's really tasty.

My last photo will be this 'kerabu tang-hoon'. Kerabu is a healthy dish, tastes sour and can be also made from young manggoes. It's a typical Thai dish. For those who can't tolerate spicy food, be on the look-out for small chili padis cleverly hidden in the kerabu dishes.
