Rockfish

I ran into Rockfish on a sunny day for lunch. The restaurant is spectacular with stunning view of Kamala Beach. Take a seat on the lower floor for wide panoramic view or you can choose to keep your seat up on the higher floor near beverage bar.

The restaurant was Thailand Tattler’s best restaurant in Phuket back in 2005. The food’s good. I ordered myself pasta and a BIG Australian beef hamburger for my friend. No disappointing for a meal here.

Rockfish in the night must be even more beautiful with the fantastic views of the Andaman Sea. The menu ‘Rockfish By Night’ has a great selection of specialty from Chicken satay to Australian tenderloin. I’m planning to get back to this international dining venue for a dinner in couple days.

Kan Eang @ Pier

Being an island and all, Phuket has so many restaurants on the seaside. And Kan Eang @ Pier is my favorite.

Set right on Chalong Pier, the restaurant serves the best seafood in a fabulous atmosphere with grand view during the day and lighting in the night. You can enjoy your meal anytime of the day. Seafood is fresh and tasty. Not an inexpensive place to eat but I can tell you that you won’t be disappointed. I just heard that they just opened the new coffee shop. Haven’t tried their coffee yet. But surely I will do so soon.

You can check out their website here

I’m so sorry if you cannot see the beauty of the view offering. Blame my little camera!!! or blame me. T_T But after all, you gotta go watch it and eat there yourself. If you think you can take better shot, leave one for me.

La Salsa

I’ve been thinking of writing about La Salsa for weeks, but it’s just today that I get myself up for it.

I’ve been a loyalty guest of La Salsa since I found that they have wooden dance floor which any dancer can enjoy their time. This place is wicked with pictures of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara on the wall. People said it looks like an oversized train carriage. I just knew the other day that a friend of mine from Ecuador is the one who’s in charge of the bar’s decoration. And if you want my comment, I’d like to say it’s chic and very cool to hang out and of course, dance! And there’s nothing to do with the fact that the founder is my friend.

In May 2005, Ricky Martin came to Phuket to aid Tsunami orphans as part of his Ricky Martin Foundation’s People For Children project. After long day of working, He wanted to hang out to somewhere ‘LATIN’ and he chose La Salsa.

You might find yourself pursuing your inner passion in this lively bar as well.

The bar is located next to front parking of Impiana Hotel, just up the road from 3 Spices in Patong. You can fresh up your night with a variety of tapas and cocktails which are well made even though some time I find the portion of each spirit in the drink isn’t right.
