Dinner At KhunThai, Teluk Kumbar, Penang

FOR DINNER MY GIRL SUGGESTED THAI FOOD AND SHE JUST KNOWS WHICH ONE TO GO... It is called KhunThai Authentic Thai Restaurant in Teluk Kumbar.  I have heard of it only recently when one of my foodie friends went there with her family.  But we did not know the way and Waze sort of assisted us along the way.  But along the way, we were led to a small village that did not lead us to Khunthai, instead it was a dead end... So much for Waze!   hahahaha... Somehow we managed to find it after reversing our car to where we have turned .... At the junction, we noticed a small sign showing drivers not to turn into the village, instead just drive on straight using the main road instead of going through the village..... Perhaps GPS always led patrons to go through the village, thus the sign....

Anyway, it was worth going there for something new and authentic.... 
We were enthralled by the ambience..... 
So beautiful to dine by the sea.... 
Looks very authentic....
And our orders were....
These five dishes.... 

Kerabu mango.... lots of cashew nuts... very appetizing!
Steamed fish Thai style....
I find the sauce a bit too sweet... 
Fried Kangkung with red sauce...
Glass noodles with prawns....
The food was not bad actually....
We wanted to order more but we might not be able to finish them all....
The dinner for five dishes cost around RM108....
Smiles to the Thai Food.... 
Maybe one day we will come by again to taste other dishes...
Tom yam and green curry are the recommended ones, so I was told...

    Wow, so nice dining on the beach. I like the kerabu mango, very appetising. Thai food usually hot,spicy & sourish & how come the steamed fish sauce taste sweet. All in all everything is good,

      Yes, the fish a bit sweet and also sour.. I prefer it to be sourish only... maybe not used to its sweetness...

    Oooo...I love Thai!!! Khun Thai is very famous, expensive but very very nice. They have outlets in KL too, maybe you've gone to those as well.

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
