Food Pics

I'm sure everyone is interested in what we have been eating here in Thailand, well I know my mom probably is...

 I ordered the Indian Vegetarian food option for the long flights. The travel agent suggested I do the same for Jon, since the vegetarian food was usually a higher quality. Jon was not too happy when he saw the teriyaki chicken everyone else was getting. It felt like we kept being fed over and over again on the plane.

 Some plane food was better than others. This tofu dish was pretty good, but I wasn't hungry when it was served. For our time it was about 3am.

This was our first room service meal in Bangkok. Some things just got lost in translation. Jon ordered a ginger ale and got beer instead. The food was shrimp Phad Thai. I ordered grapefruit juice and got some strange fruit punch.  

I know, I know, what kind of farang goes to KFC in Thailand! But actually they serve a Thai seasoned fried chicken that was recommended by a Thai native we met that currently lives in Cleveland. Jon said the dish that he got was really good and he went back to KFC a second time for it. I don't remember what it was called.

 This was part of the large buffet breakfast in Nakhon Si Thammarat, at our hotel The Twin Lotus.

 I loved these rice noodles with the coconut curry. Multiple Thai people kept telling Jon and I that it was hot when we were serving ourselves. I think they were concerned for us farang, but it really wasnt that spicy.

 I loved off of the fresh herbs you put on your curry and noodles or rice. This was with almost all dishes in the south. I liked the basil and one that had a lemon/lime flavor (it wasnt lemon grass or kefir leaves, Im not sure what it was called). And the eggs taste so different here, they are so much better.

These are some of the various spices and toppings you are to add to your food at the breakfast buffet.

Check out this blue rice that was at the breakfast buffet!

This was a room service meal we ordered at the Twin Lotus when we were first getting to know Eli/

Fast Food is popular here in Bangkok, there were Dunkin Donuts both here and in Nakhon Si Thammarat. The chocolate covered donut is a mochi donut. It was really good. We have been buying quite a few donuts while we are here. They are much better than at the Dunkin Donuts in the states. The other donut pictured here has shredded pork on it, it was sweet and salty. I didnt like it, Jon ate the whole thing. While we have been here I have not been as strict with my pescatarian diet. I have been willing to eat meat to taste new things.

This is a fruit vendor in the southern part of Thailand.

This is a street vendor that makes a coconut dessert. You can eat them with sugar on top or an orange colored salty topping. We preferred them with sugar.

More yummy street food...

 This was a pretty gross tomato smoothie. It was sweet and salty. Even Eli didn't like it...

This is fresh sugar cane juice. It was very good.

This was at a local place near our hotel in Bangkok. I ordered fish balls with udon, a Chinese vegetable and fried turnip things. It was all pretty good, except I didn't like the cilantro in the undon.

I will try to keep adding food pics as the trip goes on.
