🎞️Additional scene: What is the seafood restaurant recommended by the flight attendant?
Songtong Restaurant has long been famous as a seafood restaurant recommended by flight attendants. What is a restaurant recommended by flight attendants? Very puzzled. When and by whom this legend began to spread is probably unknown. To sum up, there should be three basic conditions for origin:
- Popular choice for non-tourists: High-profile and popular restaurants such as Jianxing Restaurant may not be introduced by flight attendants. They always have to recommend restaurants with private rooms to meet the characteristics of flight attendants who travel frequently to Thailand.
- Recommendations of local crew members: For crews composed of multinational coalition forces, when they are resting on the ground, and occasionally eat something together, of course, they directly ask the crew members on the ground to recommend the fastest, so they will slowly talk to the crews of various countries. According to legend.
- Cost-effective authentic food: Just like we recommend restaurants to foreigners, the restaurants recommended by local team members are definitely not the street stalls that are eaten daily, but the formal restaurants that can serve countertops, and they are also locals. Praised cheap meals.
