Hello everyone

The afternoon sun bathed the streets of Phuket Old Town in a warm, golden glow. It was a momentous day for me, as I eagerly anticipated picking up my son from school later. These precious hours were the only windows I had for exploring different places, and I was determined to make the most of them.

Yesterday, a pang of regret had coursed through me as I missed the vibrant bustle of Phuket Old Town. The previous day's visit had been limited to the early morning hours, when the town still slumbered, its cafes and shops yet to open their doors. The quiet prevailed, broken only by the occasional passerby, perhaps a fellow early riser like myself.

The memory of those quiet streets lingered, spurring me to return that very afternoon. As I navigated the familiar alleys and thoroughfares, I was greeted by a transformed scene. Tourists from around the world meandered, their eyes wide with wonder at the enchanting Sino-Portuguese architecture that adorned the buildings. The air was alive with excitement. Stores, once shuttered, now beckoned with an array of wares.

As I continued my journey through Phuket Old Town, my steps led me straight to Soi Rommanee, a narrow alleyway steeped in character and charm. Turning the corner, I was greeted by a sight quaint cafe adorned with an abundance of pink plastic flowers, their vibrant hues contrasting against. A grand mirror framed this whimsical tableau, adding an extra touch of enchantment.

This corner, I knew, was a sanctuary for tourists with a penchant for capturing the perfect snapshot. Laughter and the click of cameras filled the air, as visitors reveled in the photogenic allure of the scene. It was a corner where memories were woven into every pixel.

Soi Rommanee, though small, was a bustling hive of activity, its narrow confines filled with the chatter of excited travelers. They meandered through the alley, their gazes wide with wonder, eager to soak in every detail of this vibrant slice of history. It was, without a doubt, the beating heart of the Old Town, where the past danced with the present.

As I ventured a bit further down the alley, my gaze settled on a quaint souvenir shop. Its shelves were adorned with an array of trinkets, each one a testament to the rich cultural tapestry of Phuket. Amongst the offerings were vibrant traditional desserts and refreshing beverages, tempting my senses with their enticing aromas. This wasn't my first visit to this charming emporium.

Wich I had a particular craving, a sweet indulgence that had called to me from the moment I set foot in the Old Town. It was the "Bi co moi Mango," a delightful creation crafted from black sticky rice, generously drizzled with velvety coconut milk. This delectable treat was then crowned with slices of ripe, golden-yellow mangoes, their fragrance a promise of the succulent sweetness that awaited.

I couldn't resist. With eager anticipation, I ordered the dish, savoring the knowledge that every bite would be a symphony of flavors. The first spoonful was a revelation, the mingling of textures and tastes dancing on my palate. The nuttiness of the sticky rice harmonized perfectly with the creamy richness of the coconut milk, while the mango added a bright, juicy burst of flavor.

As I relished each mouthful, I couldn't help but appreciate the simplicity and brilliance of this traditional dessert. It was a celebration of local ingredients, skillfully combined to create a culinary masterpiece that spoke to the heart of Phuket's culinary heritage.

With the delightful taste of "Bi co moi Mango" still lingering on my tongue, I decided to continue my exploration of the charming souvenir shop. This time, I made my way to the second floor. As I ascended, I entered a realm of whimsical beauty. The second floor was a treasure trove of Chinese-style decorations, a delightful blend of colors, patterns, and intricacies that painted a vivid picture of a rich cultural heritage. Everywhere I looked, there were cute.

The balcony beckoned, and I couldn't resist its allure. Stepping outside, I was greeted by a breathtaking view. From this vantage point, I had a bird's-eye view of Soi Rommanee, the heart of Phuket Old Town. The street below buzzed with activity, tourists and locals alike moving like colorful threads weaving the tapestry of the town's daily life.
