Brink15 Posted April 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2003 In Hat Yai, the road coming from the railway station, there's a Chinese restaurant called NaYoa, great food, my fave in HY. I'll have to check that one out on my next trip to HY. Does this place have Dim Sum? There was an amazing Guaytee-oh Ped place in HY, although I can't remember exactly where. It was on a corner and open on both sides. Used Chinese style roast duck in the soup. Better than any I'd had anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thalenoi Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Chumpon province has tasty smallish bananas called finger bananas. Somewhere on highway 41, 40km before Chumpon town there is a large group of banana stalls. Also along highway 41, but 50 km North of Surat Thani, at Chaiya there are 162 stalls selling Khai Khem (salted eggs) , seems they are covered with mud and wrapped in some black dust. They have a reddish yok, you can fry or boil them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limbo Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Hi Brink, this place is ace and also on a corner and open to two sides, fairly big and only open in the evenings. If you're there again, I'll direct you there, plenty of choices, not necessiraly Guaytee-oh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brink15 Posted April 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 thalenoi, I've seen bananas that size in Phuket but was always told they needed to be cooked and were great for kluay bowt chi or other dishes. Can the ones you describe be eaten raw? Khai khem has never done anything for me but I suppose this is due to the fact that khem is my least favorite flavor followed by khohm. I'll still have to visit this place as my wife loves the stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brink15 Posted April 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Very cool. Some of the best Chinese food I've had anywhere was in HY so I look forward to the new recommendations. As for Samui food I'm not too worried. I hope to get a list of the best places from the newest CD at SIDS the next time I'm on the Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brink15 Posted April 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Damn, wish I knew that then. Everyone (khun Thai) used to tell me they were for kluay bowt chi. Another was for kluay toht. And another for eating. Could it be that there were more than a few very small bananas? I always remember them mentioning something about seeds or "met."

Great, I'll check them all every week, just to make sure that they'll meet standards when you come BTW there's a new Brazilian restaurant in Chaweng, called Zico's where all you can eat grilled meat, like beef, lamb, chicken, pork and fish, prawns, barracuda and salmon are served with a a big juicy salad bar for 600Baht per person. The good thing is the 2 Brazilian dancers who every hour and a half or so come to your table or the bar and jiggle and wiggle their booty and booby's in front of your face. Good food, good eyecandy.
