Good Thai restaurant in Jung Ceylon, Phuket.

This was at the same Thai restaurant I went to with my parents in January in Jung Ceylon, Phuket. They had a new drink on offer at ThaiBaht90:


But I still preferred the dessert in a young coconut for ThaiBaht85. I know it is fattening but so yummy!


Green curry and I could choose chicken or pork. I chose pork. In Singapore, it is usually chicken. I can't remember the price for this but it was probably ThaiBaht100+.


Interesting: white rice, brown rice and barley! Healthier than just white rice! ThaiBaht30 or so.


The sweet and sour fish was for about Thaibaht385! Really good value for money. It was really good too.


A similar dish in Singapore would have cost almost twice as much!

Good and cheap Japanese food in Phuket!

In January, I blogged about how I went on a cruise with my parents on the Star Virgo. I said there is very good and cheap food in Phuket and we can find it in Jung Ceylon, the air conditioned mall there. Well, I went back to Phuket on a vacation last month and I went back to Jung Ceylon for good and cheap Japanese food! ($100 = ThaiBaht 2,350)

This Tonkatsu set was the real stuff and was only ThaiBaht120 in price! That's less than S$6.00! That's a real bargain!


All these at FUJI Japanese restaurant in Jung Ceylon, Phuket:

I overheard a European lady saying that she saved for 3 years before being able to afford her holiday in Phuket. Singaporeans are so lucky that Phuket as a holiday destination is inexpensive due to its proximity and the availability of budget airlines.

Japan: Distinctly Japanese.

A high tech public toilet!


Mailboxes! Just like the ones in Doraemon!


Ticketing machines at a small train station.


 Japan must have the largest number of vending machines per capita!


The Japanese are very environmentally conscious. They recycle whatever they can. See the grey bin? I guess that's for recycling bottles and cans.  They have a big sign on the trash can with a red arrow pointing at the grey bin. I wonder what it says. Anyone?


Trouble sleeping? Visit a 24 hours bookstore! This Tsutaya branch has 6 floors in total!
