After both Issac and Annabelle, together with Mummy have a good rest ^^ in the afternoon, actually we had a good nap, waiting for Daddy came back from the Georgetown, we went out from the hotel and walked towards the sidewalk bazaar along the street. We actually would like to do it yesterday night, eventually we were so tired and slept early. It was really exhausted as the day before we were travelling in the car early in the morning. While we were walking down the coast of Batu Ferringhi, we can see Malay and Chinese fishing villages. The cafes, restaurants, sidewalk stalls and single-story shops that line Batu Ferringhi road, are run by people of different races, all sharing in the wealth that tourism brings in to Batu Ferringhi. And although the sidewalk bazaar in Batu Ferringhi has a noticeably larger number of Chinese entrepreneurs, there are a few stalls selling speciality items that are run by entrepreneurs of different races.
The roadside of Batu Ferringhi's beach hotels transforms into a bazaar after the sunset, in a tribute to free enterprise, traders from all over the island set up their stalls under colourful canopies all along the stretch. And, this is the Batu Ferringhi Night Market. A typical Malaysian pasar malam (night market), the one at Batu Ferringhi is simply huge with more than 1,000 stalls lining the main road. The exciting sidewalk bazaar that takes place every day from around 6pm until past midnight. This night bazaar is a busy and enjoyable shopping experience for visitors, and plenty of haggling can be heard along the stretch of individual stalls. Traders and buyers negotiating in good humour for the best price for the variety of items on sale – from imitation designer T-shirts to silver jewellery, colourful plastic buoys to fragile exotic curios.
Daddy bought a pair of Spiderman sandals and a Ben 10 T-shirt for Issac, whereby Belle is the toys. It was around 7.00pm when we received Andrew’s call and asked us go for dinner at one of the famous restaurant. After we have done with our shopping and we were too tired to walk back to our hotel, we just hailed one of the many trishaw that ply in front of Holiday Inn.
We again, drove our car to the Golden Thai Restaurant for our dinner. It is a seafood market which offers seafood cuisine in Thai theme decorations. We saw varieties of fresh and live seafood in the big aquariums: Alaskan Spider Crab, Emperor Crab, Snow Crab, Australian Lobster, Rainbow Lobster, Pearl Lobster, Giant Mantis Prawn, Geoduck, Eels and other fish.
All the kids except Issac and Annabelle went up to the stage to join the dances at the show. Followed by playing at the beach area just behind the restaurant.
A really entertaining and enjoyable dinner we had…
This would be our first experience too, tasting the original fresh water Alaskan Spider Crab! Really tasted differently and delicious. We can never forget this meals as it costs nearly RM3,000 and the Crab itself is around RM1,500! Besides the tasty cuisine, there is a cultural show as well, dancers were performing all races of cultural dances Malay, India and Chinese too.
