Travel • Phuket June2016 (Part 2.2)

So, we were on our 2nd part of holidaying at a good location;Patong but not so good hotel;Novotel Vintage Park. What's better than to go hunting for food since there's nothing much to do within the hotel.

We went Central Festival Mall & had the kids' comfort food, Japanese food!




These are the food we tried along Patong.
How can a trip to Thailand be without this dessert,right?
Mango with sweet Glutinous Rice ❤️
Thai style wanton mee! Bangkok's better!
T

Pad Thai with not very fresh prawns.
The chicken rice shop opposite the hotel was especially good, their crispy pork belly & thai style braised pork leg were delicious! I miss these now!! 😭





And this beef noodles was good too, just a min walk from the chicken rice shop.


We had access to the hotel's club lounge so we went for evening drinks & canapé before dinner. The beef sliders were so good, Lil K had 3 or 4 of those! Needless to say, he was too full to eat at the buffet later on...




We went for the hotel's Seafood BBQ dinner buffet on the last night. The only seafood on grill were crayfish, prawns, squid & the latter was so chewy we gave up eating it! Fortunately we only had to pay the price of 1 adult (using my hotel membership privilege) otherwise looking at the price, u can get way better seafood right opposite the hotel!





Desserts from the buffet were pretty good!
A birthday cake for my hubby, with compliments from the hotel.

During the 3 nights spent at this hotel, we hardly stepped into the swimming pool. Good thing was, the kids had a blast of fun at the previous hotel so they sorta had enough of swimming. Instead of hitting the swimming pool, they had more fun in the bath tub ❤️

I wrap up our Phuket family vacation with this post & looking forward to our next holiday! ❤️

Recipe • The Very Versatile Anchovy Soup Stock!

Image
I cook chinese style vegetable soup pretty often. It's a good way to increase the kids' vegetables intake and convenient for days when I only whip up a soup and meat dish. Most importantly, the boys love drinking their soup when it's cooked with this stock! This stock is suitable for many types of Chinese soup, example: Chinese Spinach meatballs/fishballs soup Wolfberry Leaves egg drop soup Yong Tau Foo soup Cabbage soup Shrimp-Pork dumplings soup Winter Melon soup & Cai Xin or Xiao Bai Cai soup too! I often get queries on what is the soup base when I post photos of such soup, so I think it's high time I give this delicious and versatile soup base its own space in this blog! Also, I hope my own kids will get to follow this recipe here and cook their favorite "mummy's soup" in future and be able to reminisce the taste of their childhood!
