Phuket Trip - Day 1: Eating in a Small Restaurant

We arrived at the tour manager's office around 4 pm. He apologized for his mistake - forgot that our flight was rescheduled. I settle the bill and asked few questions to the managers about the possibility of activities in our extra day. We also tell him that we decided to move PhiPhi tour to 26 August 2010, a day earlier than scheduled. He was really friendly and helpful. He gave us bottled mineral water. The driver outside bought the girls ice creams!!! :D The tour manager informed us that we are not going to use this car for the rest of the day. There will be another car coming soon. We decided to have our late lunch since we are all starving. He recommended a restaurant just across his office. The restaurant was small and homey. When we on our way to the restaurant, our van arrived, so we decided to transfer our luggage to our van before we eat. 
If you are an Indonesia, did you notice something in the bottom left picture, the menu? =D We directly ordered some food in that restaurant. I can't recall all food that we ordered, perhaps my friend could refresh the memory =) From what I can remember, we ordered some steam rice, tom yum goong, green curry chicken, salt and pepper pork, lemon chicken and po phia. After we ordered those food, we asked the owner whether we could drink our Jack Daniels in the restaurant and they said its okay, so we bought 2 bottles of Pepsi cola and drink the Jack Daniels bought by Pdik in Soekarno Hatta Duty Free =D~~~~


The food started to fill up the space in our table and distracted our attention. So we decided to start eating (of course we were distracted, we were starving!!!) Overall, the food were great. All of them were tasty. I try to buy a playing card on the convenience store beside the restaurant (I was surprised that the owner of the store is the same with the owner of the restaurant), but they didn't sell one. So I pay the food. For your information, we have budgeted 500 Baht per person for every meal (3500 Baht for 7 of us) The food cost us a great 1800++  Baht (I forget the precise price - my bad) which means less than Rp540000 or 60 USD. Here are photos of the steamed rice, salt and pepper pork, lemon chicken, and our drink (with the alcoholic drinker in one of the photo - peace =D)
After paying the bill, we went out and going to our van. However, before we going to our next destination, again, we paused to take some pictures =D the girls really enthusiastic about picture taking.

  2. Frankly speaking, we did not take a tour from Indonesia, so there will not be (as far as I know) Indonesian speaking tour guide. We got the cheap yet comfortable trip since it was prepared carefully a year before. Perhaps we could go there together some time?

    How many person will you be travelling with?
