My Thai Culinary Tour
I have just returned from a week long trip to Thailand. Today, I am going to share with you some of the things I ate along the way.
With its long coastline, Thailand boasts some delicious culinary fare. This is the lobster I ate on my first day. Half was served with cheese and the other with something else that I was unable to discern.
I couldn’t resist some dim sum in Bangkok’s China Town.
A post-dinner snack.
This restaurant may have had a peculiar name, but its setting was serene.
And the Tom Yum seafood soup was delicious.
This Karaage (Japanese fried chicken dish) was good, but not a patch on my ex-wife’s.
Sometimes one craves Western fare.
I came across menus in Thailand that make Anna Karenina look like a pamphlet.
Convenience stores were stocked with a range of delights including some of my favourites from my days in Japan – Pocari Sweat, cold green tea and octopus sashimi.
If I’d eaten another maggot larva, I would have burst.
Yummy! Not the maggot larvae & scorpion but the rest.
There sure was some good food out there, Trina.
I’m quite envious, Guy. It’s almost 30 years since I went to Thailand but I loved it and Thai cuisine is my favourite.
You’ve been to Thailand, Heather. Thai cuisine is good.
Thank you for the tour, Guy. Not sure I would join you in a maggot feast, but most looked great.
Don’t knock them till you’ve tried them. Only a matter of time before WholeFoods start stocking them.
I’ll be on the lookout.
