Phuket (4) - At the local food court

These are the last food pics of our Phuket trip that I'll be posting... On the last day that we were there, we managed to hire a taxi driver to take us around for the day and to then drive us to the airport. Just before we went to the airport, we wanted to go for lunch and asked the driver for some suggestions. He asked us what we had in mind and to his surprise we told him, "definitely not the restaurants that tourist go to. We want to go where local people go and eat." He asked us our budget and we told him less than 50 baht per person. At this, his eyes widened and he scrounge his face and thought of where he could possibily bring us. To our delight, he brought us to a local food court..

It was an interesting experience as the food sellers had to struggle to understand what we were asking them and vice versa - but we managed to order our food. Liza had more of her favourite Thai salad on top of Pad Thai. I had a really nice belacan fried rice -which the lady at the stall kept on warning me that it was very spicy. I really loved it. :) Below are the pics of some other interesting stuff at the food court..

Eggs being 'barbequed'

Pretty looking desert/snack

More fried deserts - similar to what we have in Malaysia - there's some pisang goreng (fried bananas) there somewhere

Local kuih-muih /desert

Not too sure what this stuff is - but looks like some rolled up pancake with fillings..
