Yesterday was Saturday. Morning went to the market to buy some eggs and prawns and some vegetables for the new week ahead. Stopped for coffee and eggs for breakfast

While at the market passed by a stall selling curry puffs





Bought 3 boxes each box of 10 freshly made puffs costs only $3.75

That is a unique way to prepare eggs. Would you happen to recall the name of it, in Thai? Thanks

Looks pretty gross actually! Think I'll stick to poached on toast.

All over Thailand one can find many delicious and clean street food. One of my favourite but rare item is bitter gourd chicken noodle or in Thai will be "kway teow gai mara"

It is basically noodles (of your choice) in soya sauce chicken soup with pieces of chicken boiled in soya sauce. At a side table are raw vegetables (including thin slices of bitter gourd of course) and sauces for customers to add themselves into the bowl of their noodle. Let me show you.

The stall


Open space eatery


Car park


Cutting chicken and inards


The said table with raw vegetables and sauces here you can find from left to right - Thai basil, bitter gourd, bean sprouts. From top to bottom - sour chili sauce, sugar, roasted chili flakes, un-roasted chili flakes, crushed peanuts.


Here you see customers topping up the their noodle at the "free flow" table


My 50 baht ($1.90) lunch
