Hua Hin seafood recommendations?
A group of us (5) are traveling to Hua Hin, Thailand in the next couple of days and are in search of great seafood and/or any other street eats we shouldn't miss. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Additional Singapore & KL reqs
If you want to experience a smaller outdoor market with some great Hainan Tea and popiah, the Bukit Bintang Market in Imbi (Kuala Lumpur) is great. There's a bunch of food stalls attached to a wet and dry market, which is really fun to see all the veggies and meats available here.
Also, Wong Ah Wah (W.A.W.) Restaurant on Jalan Alor has great chicken wings and sting ray:

Enjoy!
Food Tourism in Malaysia and Indonesia
I just moved to Malaysia in August, and I'm loving the food so far. One of my go-to blogs for street food is Eating Asia at http://www.eatingasia.typepad.com. I do find that Singapore is great in terms of accessibility of street food -- they've institutionalized their street hawkers in to hawker centers, keeping the original flavors of street eating relatively intact. There's a book published in English and available on Amazon called Makansutra which lists and organizes food by food item. Even if you're not going to Singapore, I've found it an invaluable resource in helping me identify what the foods are that I'm eating here in Kuala Lumpur.
Lastly, I've just recently started a blog myself on our food and other experiences at http://www.gravytrainblog.com. There's not much on it yet, but maybe it might help.
Good luck!
