After the end of the convention, we have back to the hotel to take a short break. Then we have come to the town for a walk and look around.
And this is how the hawkers at the road side. Maybe it looks not much different from the hawkers in Penang. But definately the foods over here are much tasty that you can imagine.
Dragon Fruit, Rambutan and Pineapple here are very fresh and very sweet.
Dinner time! We have reach the Rio Grill Restaurant at Asia Hotel for dinner.
We apologize to those who din't come along with us to have the dinner here because the foods over here are very NICE!
The Rio Grill restaurant at Asia Hotel are providing a "Brazilian Buffet" that definately will full fill the wishes to those who was a meat eater. The cuisine is Brazilian, where various kinds of meat and fish are skewered on a metal sword which acts as a rotisserie skewer at the same time.
First you go to the soup and salad bar where you pick up your first courses. Then the waiter brings your entre plate, on which, you can pre-select your starch and vegetables.
There is a Thai style sauce that is made with lots of hot ground chili peppers, sliced shallots, fish sauce and tamarind pulp juice. It particularly goes well with the whole leg of lamb that is sliced off the large skewer in front of you, still pink.
You can eat as much and sit as long as you want. Better still the quality of the food is high and you get your piece of meat or fish piping hot and delivered to your table.
The meats are marinated and slowly grilled over coals of fire in their open kitchen.
There is a fairly large wine selection but on this occasion we chose to drink beer. After our huge meal it wasn't in the cards to eat dessert, but should you happen to be on Phayathai Road or near the Asia Hotel.
