Rayong trip in Thailand....MAKAN HEAVEN!!!

Went to Rayong, Thailand for a week on business trip....Work was fine...But the food was EXCELLENT!!!
Good, cheap, delicious...almost everything went for 35THB which is equivalent to SGD$2!!!<>
Really ate my fill for the five days....

Some pictures from the food court in a shopping mall which we visited the first thing after arrival....the food there is so-so... no where near to what is awaiting us in the next few days...


One of the lunches we had...Braised pork trotters, braised duck, eggs and seom vegetables + soup...Excellent braised food!!! Best!!!


Roasted/grilled/BBq pork....not the same as those you'd find in Singapore....BAGUS!!


Thai Bah Kwa, so-so...i wouldn't spend on this!


BEST BEST BEST!!!! BBQ salted fish!!! My personal favourite!!! Actually there are a few personal favourites..and this is defintiely one of them...not exactly salted fish...the fish is coated with salt and BBQ..YUM YUM YUM!!


Some mango salad with raw crab, YES!! RAW CRABS!!....this is the aftermath of the crabs after i devoured them....also highly recommended...


The local colleagues brought us to a "restaurant" by the beach. There was no chairs and we had to sit on mats on the beach...the seas breeze was enjoyable and the food was BEST!!

Squid salad!!! SQUID!!!

Thai style steamed fish with lemon sauce!!! Personal Favourite!!!! BEST BEST BEST!!!


BBQ Seafood Platter consisting of crabs, king prawns, squid, mussel, cockles and fish meat!

Boiled squid served at one of the lunch....Squid is my all-time favourite and must eat for me...so long as it is squid, no matter what style they cook it with, i'll devour!!!

The night market just opposite my hotel i which i spent most of my dinners at....CHEAP AND GOOD!!!!

Mango and papaya salad with raw crabs! Have been looking at the crabs for the longest time each time i pass by, not knowing how they'd cook it, i ordered one serving for 40THB ( less than SGD$2)...when it came, i was surprised at it being raw....still i finished the dish as it was really really good!!! The seasoning for the salad was enough to overcome whatever smell of the raw crab!! BEST BEST BEST!!!

My favourite Thai style beef noodle stall!!! They serve the best beef noodles i have ever ever eaten!!!
BEST BEEF NOODLES EVER!!! at 35 THB (~SGD$1.50) BEST BEST BEST!!!

Just a shot of me and my friends devouring thai food....i am eating Pork trotter rice....
A thai delicacy: Mango Glutinous rice...Also a favourite during dinner...(~SGD$1.50)
First time i really tried eating anything outta the ordinary...Grasshoppers!!
Turns out that it was delicious!!! A very good companion to go with beer!!! Hot and crispy!! Recommended!!
Also wanted to try the worms but the size they sold here was too big for my comfort...so passed on that..but the grasshoppers...WOW!!! Would definitely try again!!! CHEERS!!!!

What is wrong?!!! Just what is wrong?!!!!!

What is wrong the past 7 days?
Really frustrating....nothing is right in this world...
1) There is no telecast for Ghost Whisperer this week.....why must they stop for a break in the middle of the season? Hope it don't happen to Heroes...
2) Liverpool drew where they should have gone 3 points ahead. 25 shots, 17 corners, 0 goals...whadda heck?!!
3) Singaporean got killed by terrorists in mumbai. and she was staying at a top grade hotel....so now here's some points to ponder...generally top hotel make good targets for terrorists...we lurrvvveeee top hotels for its luxury....exchange luxury for safety? should we avoid top hotels to reduce the risks of being terrorised? Statistics could prove that top hotels are safe but there is always a "sway sway ah".
4) Bangkok in chaos, causing cancellation in my Bangkok business cum leisure trip...these people really nothing to do...no work? no family? no life? no government will have 100% support from its citizens...this will never end unless the thai governement do something drastic like China's Tian An Men?
5) The U.S going into recession....then why is the US currency still going up?!!! i wana shop at ebay and amazon!!! US dollar down down down!!!!
6) Companies undergoing retrenchments...why can't they just go for pay cuts rather than lay off?!! i'm quite sure that most people would settle for a lower pay rather than no pay for a period untl the economy recovers...
7) Hong Kong's top TV station, TVB laying off 200 workers....you lay off they have no jobs then no consumer power then no sales then no profit then higher inventory then no production then no purchase of raw materials then no work then lay off again....THIS WILL ENVER END!!!!
WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD?!!!

Terror again....more turmoil....please stop....

its seems that there will be people always angry, always waiting to instill fear and terror into others...Don't understand what's wrong with these people...
This time it happened in Mumbai, India...Commandos stormed into 2 luxury hotels and held hostages after a group calling itself the "Deccan Mujahedeen" (what kinda name is that?!!) claimed responsibility for the attacks late Wednesday night on the Taj Mahal and Oberoi Trident hotels, and eight other locations, including the main train station, a hospital and an up-market restaurant.
Reports say that these people targeted the americans and the brits...more than 100 people were killed....so sad...don't understand why they can treat human lives like that...when a person is ill, we try all methods and get back to health...and these people are blowing away lives like squashing houseflies...
A singaporean was among those held hostage...problems problems and more problems...as if the big hu-ha in thailand is not enough....i'm suppose to go on a business trip to Bangkok in December...but i guess it'll have to be put on hold..to think that i still intended to extend my stay and ask my family to meet me there...*sigh*
The world is getting messy....the best place to be now is probably away from the concretes and metals...somewhere in the jungles/forest perhaps? in the sea? in the grave?
ah shucks...whateva...after everyone blows everyone else up,
