June 2008 - Phuket Trip Day 3

In the evening, we drove to one of the pasar malam nearby to get some fruits. Mama bought some mangoes and rambutans for dada to eat at night.

Lagoon view at Laguna Beach Resort.

Before going to Phuket, mama had read some reviews saying there is a restaurant called "Lotus" by the beachside of Sheraton Grande Resort which is highly recommended by tourists at Bang Tao area. Therefore, for dinner we drove to Sheraton with the aim of going to the restaurant from the beachside of Sheraton. We had no idea that Sheraton is so huge and from the main entrance of Sheraton to the beach area took us 10 minutes walking distance and to Lotus restaurant another 5 minutes beachside walk. Mama and dada were so tired walking while carrying me and my stuff. This is also the time where mama dropped my favourite pecifier. Luckily, mama brought 2 pecifiers otherwise dada will have to offer higher price to whoever willing to sell their pecifier to us.

Mama thought the restaurant is just a small beachside restaurant. Upon arrival, we noticed the restaurant is quite presentable and popular. One have to make reservation but since we arrived quite early, we have no problem getting a table. The restaurant was full while we were eating halfway.

Steam red snapper in thai style. Red snapper about 65 baht per 100 gram.

Fried softshell crab.
Tom Yum Koong and fried mixed vege. These 4 dishes plus rice and water cost dada approximately 1080 baht. . Since mama and dada did not want to take the same route as coming to the restaurant, only upon asking dada realised the restaurant offers free transfer within the laguna area. We took the restaurant's van back to Sheraton to get our car. For further information of the restaurant, please visit http://www.lotusphuket.com/.

Back to our room, dada had mango which mama bought from the local market. Of course i will not miss this opportunity as i love mangoes too. Dada gimme the whole mango please!!!!!!!
