Gym Yong Market I can say it is just like the Ben Thanh Market or Binh Tey Market at Saigon that we travelled to 2 years ago. It is located right in the centre of the Hat Yai city.
We walked into the complex and the alleyways are very narrow. we can see with the widest variety of goods that are here.
There are clothes, groceries, imported fruits, dried foods, canned foods, toiletries, toys, appliances, watches, and so much more.
Somewhere nearer to the entrance or exit of the building we saw some fishmongers selling fish and butcher selling pork.
At the outside of the Gym Yong Market complex, there are wet markets along the streets.
Once we set our feet on this busy street, we could find many fruits, vegetables and seafood vendors as well as some local street food vendors. It is practically a local street food paradise with lots of hidden food gems.
Alvin walked to a restaurant just next to the street. I do not know what is the name of the shop. He so eagerly wanted us to try her food. He had been here before during his trip with his ex-collegues and found this shop.
The lady was selling mixed rice and Alvin chose a few dishes, stir fried minced pork with basils, stir fried chicken with ginger, braised pork knuckles and eggs and the salted vegetable pork ribs soup with white rice.
We have our first meal at Hat Yai officially at 10.15am local time. It is good. The taste is different from our Chinese cooking. I found out that Thais love to eat pork and the way they cook the pork is way different from us but it is nice!
After our meal, we walked towards to the Lee Garden Plaza’s McDonald’s because we are eagerly want to try the McDonald’s pork burger. We wrongly ordered the beef burger but it is very nice too!
We found out that having McDonald’s in Thailand is more expensive than what we have in Malaysia! Any how is our first try here.
After which we went in to the Lee Garden Plaza have a walk. It is considered like Sg. Wang Mall at Kuala Lumpur back in Malaysia for me. There are shops include electronics, clothing, shoes, bags, cell phones and accessories.
There are a lot of small kiosks along the walkways selling souvenirs, handcrafts, artwork and small little cute things which we saw. After awhile walking almost the whole mall, we decided to head for our next destination – Wat Hat Yai Nai.
