Lovely Koh Samui - What We Ate

One of the fun things we got to do at Koh Samui was to explore the streets for places to eat. There were so many eating places offering so many different kinds of food that we had a hard time deciding at times. But these were what we did eventually try...

Recommended by Lonely Planet. Food looks good, tastes good and pretty good value except that I threw up whatever i ate (mostly pad thai) that evening. Definitely did not sit well with me. But thank God that I felt much better pretty quickly and that Ben was unscathed. Still don't know what exactly was in the pad thai that caused the terrible discomfort...

Ethan knocked out from the morning spent at the beach.

Ethan still knocked out while daddy and mummy enjoy a cold mango gelato in the hot hot sun.


Complimentary dinner at the Amari

Ethan at breakfast - dipping EVERYTHING into jam

lunch at the Red Snapper

Dinner by the beach. The entire stretch of beach was lined with restaurants and eateries all specially set up and decked out for people to dine at in the evening. The delightful thing was the effort and creativity that each eatery put into decorating and laying out their place - twinkling fairy lights, glowing lanterns, lounge chairs (for those who would like to recline while eating), live music, table candles, flowing fabrics etc.. No two eateries were the same and all equally lovely. We had fun just strolling along the beach (it was a very long stretch of beach) and taking in the sights. We chose a quaint little restaurant in the end for our dinner and had a really nice time.

Also recommended by Lonely Planet. :) We liked it so much we ate there twice.
