Do you fancy eating lobster? A lot of people do and all of those many seafood restaurants in Patong are selling lobster. There are 2 types of lobster displayed for patron’s selection: dead or alive! Dead lobsters are off course much cheaper. Another factor deciding the selling price is the restaurant. Some are selling dead lobster for 180THB per 100 gram while some are offering 120THB per 100 gram.

Lobster display

This is a photo taken on the lobster display counter in front of Savoey (our Safari Beach Resorts‘ famous seafood restaurant). Look at the price tag. Dead lobsters are selling for 200THB per 100 gram! So 1 medium sized lobster should cost you around 2000THB or USD60! We didn’t try any there as we prefer eating prawns more than lobster.

Happy Lunar New Year of Tiger again! Sorry if you think these are too much but I just couldn’t resist myself from posting more photos of this new year celebration. If  you happened to be here in Malaysia as a visitor, you must have seen all these decorations in Kuala Lumpur during this festive season. If you are not, you might still have seen these in the TV or over the internet as part of  the decorations around the world where there are Chinese to celebrate. If you haven’t seen anything like these this year, here are some beautiful decorations for this lunar new year celebration in Kuala Lumpur Pavilion shopping mall. Be the one to celebrate with us during this festival!
