Land of Ong Bak Day 2 - Hua Hin Night Market

Assalamualaikum. สวัสดี!

The most awaited moment by both Ms G & I. A stroll along Thai's night market. They say, night market is a must place when u visit Thailand. And so we fulfilled that to-do-list. We asked the Ahjussi driver to dropped us at Hua Hin night market after our visit at Swiss Sheep Farm (story here). 

The traders were just starting to set up their stalls when we arrived. It wasn't time for breaking fast as yet hence I felt like every food stalls we passed tried to lured me. Telan liur banyak kali. 

30 June 2014 - Hua Hin

 

Just observing this Ahjussi preparing the ice tea was enough to make me drool. It's myy favorite drink! 

I want to order the drink soooooo bad but managed to shoo the idea away. Plain water for buka puasa please Bie. My lips were too dry at that time I know it will bleed. Sign of dehydration. So yeah, ditto to other drink & annyeong plain water! I am always extra careful with what I consumed when I travelled. Jatuh sakit time berjalan is definitely a big no-no. 

Forgive us for being naive. We have to take a pic in front of the bar-with-the-night-market concept because we never saw one back home. It was set up sebaris with the other stalls along the night market. 

Woohoo. Gumbira dalam hati bila dapat stall ni. The nasi beriyani ayam was a bit pricey (120 Baht) but knowing it's the only stall that sell halal food there, kenalah terima hakikat. We also bought 2 pieces of bawal goreng (size half my palm) for 50 Baht each. 

Ms G bought quite a lot from the night market. Aku kesukaan tengok dia beria shopping. As for me? Cuma sehelai tshirt yang ada tulisan Hua Hin. Roh bershopping-mopping belum merasuk diri. 

This concept of night market memang smart. Atas tu adalah museum berkonsep ala rumah. We didn't go up to have a look though sebab masa ni mata sudah melirik² plastik di tangan. Fokus sudah lari. L to the Par. Aku adalah berpuasa without sahur, harap faham. Ni statement P to the Yo.

Actually selalu ada angan² mau gambar motor with Thai's plate number. Ntah kenapa tapi syukur, sudah termakbul. 

The stall to my left side sells varieties of postcards & stuffs related to Hua Hin. 

Unfortunately the brilliant Miss Err didn't buy anything there. Not even a single postcard nor a piece of fridge magnet that represent Hua Hin. Jangan cakap untuk orang, untuk collection diri sendiri pun ndak da. Sampai rumah baru lah menyesal itu, menyesal ini. Ada perasaan mau bang kepala on the wall. Hampagas betul! 

We decided to just walk back to our hostel. Boleh cuci mata tengok pekan Hua Hin di malam hari. Masa tu baru nampak the tourism centre where all the minivans from Bangkok (final destination Hua Hin) make their stop. It situated just in front of a temple. But please don't ask the temple's name. 

Pastu on the way, nampak a cafe that we frequented everytime we travel (statement bingai lupa diri) opposite the road. As if both thinking the same thing terus berlumba mau lintas jalan to get to the cafe. Dan² lupa diri; lupa niat murni yang mau consume only plain water. Pfft!

Truth is we never bother to lepak at this coffee shop at our hometown. But that feeling jadi lain macam whenever this shop came into our sight during traveling. Terkinja gedik ntah apa special cafe ni. Told you, statement minta penampar!

After membasah tekak & tumpang aircond kedai, kami pun continue journey balik hotel. Which is just 5 mins walking distance from the night market. Hua Hin sumpah panas walau di malam hari. Ndak sedar peluh menitik² sampai belakang baju basah. 

Syukur alhamdulillah! Finally, craving fixed! Ini lah paling dinanti. Bought this from a famous stall at the night market. Yo'oh famous, just because stall tu ada gantung few pics of celebrities buying from them...terus conclusion ni mesti sedap sebab famous. 

And!! Oppa Mango tu sangat handsome. Gagah perkasa. No pic taken sebab Omma ada bersama. Sila behave. Tapi regret gila kenapa ndak beranikan jak diri untuk snap pic with him. Kan? Control sangat lubang hidung, padan muka. Balik bilik, refreshed & time to feast the hungry tummy. Sengaja makan mango sticky rice ni lambat² sebab mau menikmati kununnya. Nikmat gila! Alhamdulillah.

Malam tu tidur awal sebab schedule the next adalah pack. Tapi ndak dapat lena sangat sebab ada lagu tambahan from the roommate. Ahaks. Penat sungguh si kawan.
