After having been rid of an irritant, I was finally free to enjoy my weekend off. Went to a kelong for lunch on Sunday. Went there once eons ago on my very first trip to Phuket. P'Kae, our local tour leader then, brought us there for lunch (those were the days with Bob and Tom and Captain something, sorry Di, I forgot his name)
Went to Laem Hin pier and had to take a long-tail boat out to these floating restaurants. Went to a rather famous one called Bang-Mud. Man, it was expensive but once you're stuck on a floating restaurant out in the middle of the sea, you do not get to bargain.
The parking space.

Huge fish. I just realise I'm really terrible with fishes. THey all look the same to me. Ask me the difference between tuna, white snapper, red snapper, seabass, garouper...I would have no idea. Especially while they are alive.
The farm was rearing Clown Fish!! I thought it was illegal cos that meant that they stole the hatchlings / fishes from a protected coral reef zone. tsk tsk...Thais...as long as it;s illegal, you can trust a Thai person to do it.
Puffer fish!!!!!!! How UGLY!
Some fish with a flat head
The kitchen
Steamed fish in lemon sauce - this was so good. The fish was definitely very very fresh, but I got a bit creeped with its peers swimming in the waters next to me. Splashing very loudly.
It was only in hindsight I remembered to take pics of the other dishes. This was prawns fried in garlic. Aroy mak!
Black pepper black crab - tiny little crab, not as shiok.
3 dishes like this cost me THB 825 baht! That's about SGD 35!!! And we had a plate of fried rice, a bowl of steamed rice and a bottle of plain water. It's expensive actually.
Well anyway, it was a nice way to spend the afternoon.
