AowThai Restaurant, Ban Don

AowThai Restaurant, Ban Don

After not having visited this place for at least a year, we went again yesterday and it was pleasant.

Lot's of (local) Thais visiting but also plenty of Westerners. They have a massively big screen, good for sport events, and a live band playing. Make sure to get a table that's not located in front of the band.


It's located opposite Bandon Hospital, on the road leading away from the ring road. Behind the Irish pub on the corner.

Here's the band in action, they mainly sing Thai love songs or soft Thai music, no rock and Western main stream songs.

The food was good, especially their specialty, the sizzling plate, here with mixed seafood.

AowThai is very big and has outdoor tables and two big roofed areas as well. It's enjoyable and worthwhile visiting.

Pee Soon Restaurant, Chaweng

Pee Soon Restaurant, Chaweng

Has been an all time favourite of my wife and me for the past 7 years that we know each other. My parents are also very fond of this whenever they come over as is my sister and her family and pretty much everybody we ever brought here! Nuff said, one would think!



It was a while ago that we've been here last and things have changed a bit. Unfortunately their cook for more than 10 years, who started out as a young boy as kitchen help, has left and that was noticeable.

The seafood is still as good as ever but the the 'a la carte' dishes didn't have the same magic anymore as with the former cook! We loved the Pomfret deep fried fish and the other fresh seafood, but the soups and other dishes just didn't have it. They were still good, don't get me wrong but just not up to the same standards as before.

Here's a bit of the food we had, bottom left, a green curry (Kaeng Khiao Wan Kai), Garlic Pepper squid (Pla Muek Thot Gratiam Phrik Thai), Deep fried Pomfret (Pla Chalamet), Sai On Toth, Mussels (Hoi Lai Phat Prik Chao) and fried rice with veggies (Kao Pat Pak).

Still worthwhile visiting though and it's located opposite the new short cut to the airport, up the road the ringroad, where the one way system starts in Chaweng. Just before the first 7-11 you will encounter, heading for he ring road on your left hand.

Ole Sayang Nyonya Food Restaurant, Malacca (Melaka) (CNY 2008 Trips)

After the wonderful River Cruise, we headed to fill our stomach.
Try few times of Nyonya Suan Restaurant, this time we decide to taste 'Ole Sayang Restaurant'-Nyonya Food at Melaka Raya. (N2°11.258' E102°15.345')



It's located at the busiest street of Taman Melaka Raya, Jalan Mederka. The business hours : Lunch 11:30am-2:30pm, Dinner 6:00pm-9:30pm. Closed on Wednesday.


The first impression was nice decoration of the restaurant. The Seet's family photos are on the wall, the rattan chairs everywhere even the baby chair was unique! The furnitures that you won't easily spotted elsewhere.




We ordered the Nyonya special recipe chicken (Pongtay Chicken) and others. I just feel that the sotong (Squid) a bit small compare with normal.....

Delicious foods! Prices were reasonable (below MYR40.00 for the above dishes), staffs are friendly and helpful, we had a good dinner in this restaurant!
But after our comparison, we still prefer Nyonya Suan Restaurant.....
