The Food Scene

This weekend I discovered my new favourite restaurant in Hat Yai, an all-you-can-eat buffet that you barbeque yourself! For a mear three dollars you gain unlimited access to an astonishing variety of food items that you can cook to your liking... what a steal! In the center of the smorgasbord are big tubs full of marinating meat and seafood, vegetables, pre-made side dishes and lastly, desserts. Although none of the many meats are labelled, there wasn't one thing that I didn't fully enjoy. Everybody was joking that we could've been eating dog and had no clue... but luckily it's not a popular Thai dish so we were safe. However, there were some crazy-looking Thai delicacies, which were avoided for now but maybe one day I'll feel more daring. The combinations some patrons were putting together looked un-barbeque-able haha but who knows. The mini barbeque-type set-ups in the middle of each table are kept at the perfect temperature, and the moat surrounding the grill is filled with a delicious broth to boil anything you desire. There are also ingredients such as rice and noodles to create your own soup with the broth, as well as different spices to choose from.
We spent hours at this gold mine, with some going back for seconds, thirds and even fourths! There was a live band playing which made for a great atmosphere, and it was even one customer's birthday. During the birthday song, oddly sung in English (which I've noticed is very common) sparklers and confetti were exhibited. After stuffing ourselves to the brim, we struggled off our chairs and set out on a walk to digest our amazing meals. Ending up at our favourite bar, Post Laser Disc, we lit up the pool table for the rest of the night while listening to the best band in town perform.
