When we reached Greenway Market it is just 5.00pm. The stalls were not opened yet. Nevertheless we just walked in to the area to check if there is any other shops that already open.
To our surprise we saw a sign with the Greenway Food Station and food pictures. This made us super happy as we were hungry for food. The food court it-self is very spacious and have 2 floors.
Ground floor is mainly the food and beverages stalls and some dining area too. 1st Floor is mainly dining area and a beverage bar.
It is a good timing as well that we can have our dinner before all the stalls open at the market.
Greenway Food Station using the cash card system. We need to buy the cash card at the entrance and order the food we want and pay with the card and collect our own food.
There is a long stroll of food stalls selling different types of eye-catchy Thai street food, all priced at unbelievably wallet-friendly price tags.
Traditional Thai food stall – all about Thai salads. All kinds of salads can be seen here.
I noticed and surprised that even sushi is their street food, because I can see sushi being sell at the side of the road whenever we were walking.
All kinds of noodle soup especially Tom yam. I ordered Tom Yam Seafood noodles, to be frank I was a little disappointed or may be what should I order is the Tom Yum Gong soup instead.
Alvin ordered the Pad Thai, it is not bad too. Topped with pinch of sugar, roasted peanuts, and a little bit of chili flakes, make the Pad Thai so savoury.
Issac ordered a pork noodle soup and it taste just nice. It’s come with minced pork, pork ham and meat balls. Issac loves the pork meat balls, he said is different from what we have in Malaysia.
As usual Annabelle ordered rice, it is the cheese omelette with sausages.
We particularly enjoyed their Som Tam / Green papaya salad, not only it packed a flavourful punch but the crunchy element was so strong that one would need to chew for at least a few seconds before swallowing, maybe a tad too spicy for some though.
After our dinner, we start to explore the night market. The area is big enough that you would want to spare at least a couple hours to explore.
There are plenty of things to explore at Greenway Night Market, not only food and beverage but street fashion, cafes, phone casings and even pets!
It segregate to few zones. Some is indoor with roof cover and some are without. We were keep on walking until we were tired and just on the benches prepared in the market.
We did not buy anything as we noticed that the price not even cheap as well, or may be because of our Malaysian Ringgit was weaken.
There are a lot of women fashion kiosks or stalls. The dresses are nice, unfortunately I think I am too old for those types of dresses anymore. Huhu…
Finally we walked towards the end of the market where it is open-air and just like the flea markets.
We just called it off for the day, and I took a last photos for the night scene of the Greenway Night Market. I love the evening dusk or evening sky in Hat Yai – pinkly purple colour!
We called grab car and went back to our hotel. It was already 8.00pm when we reached the hotel.
Khao Tom Mat
But it was not enough for me and Alvin. Later in the night, Alvin and I went out to find food again with Issac and Annabelle stayed in the hotel. He brought me to a place near our hotel and we eat Khao Tom.
It is grilled sticky rice wrapped with banana leaves. It is made from steamed sticky rice with sugar and coconut milk wrapped with banana leaves into triangle shape and it has to be grilled before being served.
We ordered a plain only sticky rice, a banana filling and a mung beans or black beans filling. It is sweet as it is a dessert in Southern Thailand. Well, it is a good try to taste their local authentic Thai street food.
