[PART 02] Weekend Getaway to Phuket, Thailand

My short write up/throwback on my Phuket Holiday continues...

The Hotel Burasari has only one eatery place, the 'Kantok Restaurant', which serves morning buffet breakfast as well as all-day ala carte dining. Our stay was inclusive of breakfast, and I must say the spread was quite impressive! There was a wide selection of Western, Thai and Asian cuisines. I was quite enamoured with the different food options, especially on the egg station!

After breakfast, we made our way to ‘Let's Relax Spa' for a relaxing spa indulgence! Baby was first introduced to this spa joint during our last trip to Phuket. I loved the service they rendered, as they began by washing our feet before leading us to the massage room for our treatment.

  

We were given biscuits and lemongrass tea after our treatment. The damage was slightly on the high side as compared to our massage parlours back home in Singapore, but I think it was worth it!

 After our massage, we went to the newly opened Central Patong to do some shopping, and we had our favorite Thai Milk Tea from CHATRAMUE.

 Baby got some Thai snacks from the Central Patong's Food Hall. 

To our surprise, Central Patong are providing free shuttle to Downtown Central in Phuket Town!. We decided to grab this opportunity to go to Phuket Town. The journey was about 20-30mins. We did more shopping there! 

We enjoyed the coconut ice-cream very much. 

 We came across ‘Thai Brasserie by Blue Elephant’. We decided to try this restaurant for our dinner. The setting of the restaurant looked pretty classy. It offers a contemporary Thai cuisine concept with an exquisite interior design and an East Meets West menu. 

After we made our orders, we were given a complimentary starter - Shrimp Wrapped with Tom Yum Thick Soup. 

We ordered an appetizer, The Fried Shrimp Cake with Pomelo was pretty good, but we still prefer the ones were served at another restaurant we had tried, the 'Le Siam'.

We had Chicken in Yam Basket which was alright as well, but I felt the yam basket was a tad too hard to eat on its own! 

How can we miss our fave Tom Yum Goong soup? Baby preferred this soup as compared to Le Siam. For me, I like both restaurtant's soups as it was not overly spicy, nor was it too rich. It had a perfect balanced mix! 

The star of our dinner was the Thai Style Steamed Fish. The fish was so fresh and it tasted delicious. It pretty much concluded my craving of Thai cuisine. 

I had a pleasurable experience at Thai Brasserie, and the damage was THB1810 which was slightly cheaper than what we paid at Le Siam, but this was due to their opening promotion. They were having a 50% off discount on food and dessert orders. Lucky us! 

   

After dinner, we continued our shopping, and we took the last shuttle bus back to Patong Beach. 

The next day, we went to Jungceylon Shopping Mall for our last minute shopping. We had steamboat for our last delectable meal in Phuket, and we settled at MK GOLD Steamboat which is located at the mall itself. I assume the word 'GOLD' was simply used to justify the higher prices, better food quality and service. The premise looked pretty elegant and spacious. MK is also specialised in Thai-styled Hot Pot & Sukiyaki. We ordered the MK Suki Set and some ala carte items off the menu. Both Baby and I love the Chilli dipping sauce which was pretty different from the usual sauces one is accustomed to. With the dip, it definitely enhanced the taste of the sliced meat better!

The lunch damage was pleasant after conversion to Singapore dollars, and we had a lovely steamboat meal. Nothing beats having a good meal with my loved ones!

We walked over to Central Patong for some dessert fix! We settled at the immensely popular 'After You Dessert' cafe, and we really love our pancakes with strawberries very much! 

I love having a relaxing resort holiday, and I must make it a point to go for one at least once a year, as a short break works wonders to recharge myself from my hectic work schedule! I promise, I will be back again, Thailand!
