After a long nap at the hotel, we decided to go for a walk to stimulate our appetites before dinner. The Eat Local Meet Local event was the perfect place to do just that.

Restaurant Ambiance

After taking our seats at the large, impressive wooden table, we requested the menu to order our food, as our walk had stimulated our appetites.

Seafood Curry Stir-Fry

Fresh seafood, such as large mussels, squid, and shrimp, stir-fried in a fragrant curry powder sauce with egg. The aroma of the curry powder is prominent, followed by a sweet and salty flavor. It is best enjoyed with hot rice.

Spicy and Sour Seafood Soup with Coconut Milk

This translation aims to capture the essence of the original Thai dish while remaining concise and clear. It avoids using overly technical terms and focuses on conveying the key characteristics of the dish.

This restaurant offers a variety of seafood, including shrimp, squid, sea bass, and, most notably, sea cucumber. The curry broth is flavorful, with a sourness that leads into the sweetness of coconut milk and a slight saltiness. It is very easy to drink and leaves a refreshing feeling in the throat.

Sea cucumber

Fried Sea Bass with Spicy Papaya Salad

Crispy-fried fresh sea bass, tender on the inside, generously topped with a spicy papaya salad that perfectly complements the fish's crispy texture.

Steamed Seafood in Banana Leaf Cups

This dish is fragrant with curry paste and captures the freshness of the fish and shrimp used in the steamed curry. However, the taste is a bit too sweet.

Oyster Omelette

This dish is excellent. Fresh, large oysters are fried with eggs and served hot with rice. It is a delicious and satisfying meal.

After this meal, we walked back to the hotel because we didn't bring our car today. The hotel was not far from the event area. We borrowed a bicycle from the event and rode back to the hotel. We slept soundly for another night.
