Land of Smiles
Re: Land of Smiles
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
Re: Land of Smiles
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

Re: Land of Smiles
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
