Chica de Mazarrón on Tour - Siam Beach

-

 


So, this time last week I was in Altea having a catch up with friends I hadn't seen since before lockdown. 

Having driven up to Altea straight from work on a Friday evening, rather than cooking we decided ordered take out and not worry about cooking so we could all have a glass of wine and a proper good catch up. 

We drove into Altea Town and parked up, took a short pleasant stroll along the paseo and headed in the direction of my friends favourite Thai restaurant, Siam Beach.

There is ample parking, that can get quite busy during the height of summer, but just a few hundred yards from the outside terrace with beautiful sea views. This was the perfect place to order our food and enjoy that glass of wine.

This is a friendly, family run business and the owner and his wife (the chef) are honest, friendly hardworking people. 

Our English waitress was very polite, engaging and helpful but when Oscar spotted my friends he made a beeline for them and rattled off their regular order to the waitress, without a prompt. 

We settled on the terrace with our wine, a bowl of water and treats for the dog and chatted with our waitress and Oscar whilst listening to the sea lap along the coast line. 

When our food was ready Oscar's wife brought our food out to our table, along with a large box of fresh gambas that my friends were purchasing from them and we were on our way home. 

With four main dishes, jasmine rise and prawn pad thia we were all incredibly full but the food was soooo good that I actually forgot to take any pictures! Our food was still hot when we got home and we hungrily tucked into chicken in Thai green curry, prawns in garlic and pepper, pork with cashew nuts and panang beef curry.


The food was delicious, reasonably priced, the service was second to none and they were extremely accommodating to our special diets - one gluten free and one lactose free and generally dinner dates from hell. 

I would highly recommend this restaurant whether you are looking for a cozy indoor restaurant, a beautiful alfresco dining experience with a sea view or to snuggle up at home with authentic, home cooked Thai food like we did - muchas gracias Oscar and the Siam Beach family!

Un saludo

Reeves Butchers - The English Butcher in Mazarrón

  With the recent departure of the English Butchers on A, I thought you might find this blog of interest if you're missing your favourite cuts of meat and, of course, a good old British Banger! Reeves English Butchers has been around a long while, with their main shop in Torrevieja and more locally doing fresh deliveries to order across Camposol, Condado de Alhama, The Country Club, Mazarrón Town, El Puerto de Mazarrón and just about everywhere else inbetween.  With qualified British butchers, an extensive list of local and British suppliers the quality and range of their products is fantastic. Whether ordering for a BBQ, special occasion or just a good old English breakfast or roast dinner, I have never been disappointed.  I started using them during the lockdown and have to say I have never looked back. With various ways of ordering, either through their facebook page, WhatsApp, in their Torrevieja shop or through their camposol base at Luz del Sol it really couldn't be easie

THE COSTA CALIDA - The Warm Coast

    The Costa Calida is the coastline of Murcia and runs from the North near Alicante, down to the South bordering with Almeria. Well know areas along this coast include the Mar Menor, Aguilas, Mazarron and Cartegena to name just a few. The original airport serving the Costa Calida (on my first arrival) was San Javier, a military airport also serving civilians. In January 2019 Murcia International Airport opened, which along with Alicante Airport provides an important gateway to our beautiful home.      Host to several mountain ranges, outstanding golf courses, national parks and spectacular coastlines, activities are plenty or if you prefer you can while the day away with stunning views, beautiful Mediterranean food, a cafe con leche or something stong if you wish - you really are spoilt for choice!        With an array of Spanish villages, cities, ports, harbour towns and ex-pat urbanisations there is something for everyone.  The summers are hot and lazy but the winters are but t

Bar Review - Tel's Bar, Camposol

This bar is a great little hangout, with a positive, fun vibe to it and plenty to offer during hot sunny days, late warm evenings and even on the cooler or wetter days. Located on Camposol Sector A, Leanne has a fantastic established team by her side and has been running Tel´s for many years now.  Whether you are looking for a full English breakfast, a quiz, music entertainment or just a good drink and chatter this is a great place for all.   I have spent many an afternoon or evening with friends, enjoying the relaxed environment and a glass of something cold.  Nothing is ever too much trouble for Leanne and I have seen her go out of her way on many occasions for her customers - I've even seen her give some of them a lift home to save them a long walk! If you like quizzing and live music this is a place you will love.  With a small cozy indoor area but a large spacious terrace, there is always room to be in the midst of the action or slightly tucked away in your own lit
