Visiting Nakhon Si Thammarat... stopping by Ko Pii's shop... enjoying the local delicacy.

This trip, I went to Nakhon Si Thammarat. I got off the Air Asia plane in the morning at 8:00 AM and took a van straight to this place, Plaza Naerap, Nakhon Boran Q-Q-Q, a new landmark of Nakhon Si Thammarat. The place is brand new, clean, shady, and has ample parking. It is located on Omkamp Road (Nakhon Si Thammarat-Tha Pha), a meeting and socializing spot for locals and tourists. It is a must-visit place to snap photos, taste delicious food, and relax. The shops include Kopi Gopee, a vintage coffee shop, and Iew Jao Guay.

My stomach is rumbling, so let's start with an appetizer. This morning, I'm having freshly fried **youtiao** (Chinese crullers) served with **kaya** (coconut jam). However, I requested condensed milk instead, as I prefer the taste of **youtiao** dipped in it. Ahhh... To complete the experience, I must have a cup of **kopi** (coffee). Oh... A peculiar name caught my eye on the menu: **kopi chino**. Wow... What is this? I have to try it. Oooh... It has a strong Chinese-style flavor but with a Western-style smoothness. Hmm... I'm not exaggerating. If you visit this shop, be sure to order it.
