Natalie's Kata Beach

After finishing all the goodies of KL..
We flew to Phuket just to enjoy nice warm sun and
freshest seafood there..yumm..yumm..
Natalie's was the first resto we visited there.
It's located on the opposite of our hotel, Kata Beach Resort.

Our first order : Sweet Sour Chicken.
From the first moment my mom ordered this one, I knew it was a big mistake.
You could find this menu evrywhere in Jakarta..T.T
Anyway..it was OKAY.

Pad Thai.
I haven't have any Pad Thai before, so this was the first time.
They used flat noodle and cooked it with prawn, squid, spring onion, garlic, and bean sprout.
And as the usual Thai cooking, you could taste the coriander.
For me personally, I didn't really like this one..T.T
Coz this is not a dry fried noodle as we used to eat, instead it was like an ooey-gooey fried noodle served with lime juice which for me was.. so unpleasant..
My dad loved it though. So, it's just a matter of everyone's palette.

Tom Yam Goong.
This tom yam is honestly so bad.
I just couldn't understand why did they serve bad quality tom yam goong in Thailand itself..

Fried Breaded Chicken.
Yea..my sister's order..
She just missed KFC so much..

Fish Cake.
This is what Thai Cooking is all about!
This Fish Cake is definitely gorgeous..
It is soooo tasty 'til you could fill your tounge doesn't want to be separated with it..hahaha..
Taste like otak-otak, but this is a more brilliant version of it.
Hint of coriander was really making a difference and the sauce was just a perfect match with it.

Fried White Snapper in Sweet Chilli Sauce.
The fish is definitely fresh, good size, and juicy inside.
But I prefer a good quality fish like this to be steamed, instead of being fried.
The sauce was good..
Perfect balance of sweetness, hint of sourness, and spicyness of the chilli.

Pork in Chilli Basil Leaves.
This dish is just perfect.
It is one of Thai's signature dish, and I should be grateful that I've tried it.
This is so good.
I just dunno how could the Thai be so genius to create a dish like this??

BLT Sandwich.

Nice big juicy grilled squid.
This is one of the biggest squid I've ever eaten in my life..haha..
Its flesh was a bit tough but it was juicy and grilled perfectly.
They only seasoned it with salt n pepper but it's all enough coz the squid itself is so good.
