Some of the things I ate in Thailand I managed to take a photo of before wolfing them down. I have no idea what these are called in Thai so I will just describe them to the best of my ability, sorry about that.
Duck Noodle Soup with Blood Cubes. This was my first meal in Thailand. I love duck anything but I've never eaten blood cubes before so this was a bit of a gamble but I ended up loving it, especially when I put a tiny amount of chili flakes in it. The texture of the blood cubes was similar to tofu but with a very earthy taste.
Grilled Squid with Mystery Sauce. The sauce was really incredibly spicy (at least for me, and I only asked for a little) with a touch of what I think was cilantro, lending it a freshness that brings to mind salsa. Half an hour later after eating this my mouth was still burning. Despite that I enjoyed this snack.
Spicy Chicken Noodle Soup. The clear soup is deceptively spicy. This was actually my sister's meal but I ate like half of it, oops.
L: Some sort of sticky rice desert with coconut pudding on top R: Sticky Rice with Mango and Coconut Milk. What I ate in place of a cake on my birth day eve. Had been craving for this for days since we landed in Thailand. I even went three times to what is considered the best sticky rice with mango stand in Bangkok to have some, only to be greeted by a sold out cart each time I went, damn my luck. You can just imagine my joy when I spotted a cart selling them on my last night at some random side street in the red light district.
Other things I ate and drank:
- All the cheap street Pad Thai I could possibly ever want
- Green Curry Rice with Chicken
- Garlic Chicken Rice
- Thai Pork BBQ
- Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie
- Passion Fruit Smoothie
- Banana Nutella Crepe
- An overpriced glass of mocha that gave me the shakes and left me with the weirdest, most unsettling feeling as I wandered around Siam. Reminded me why I dont drink coffee.
