My 1st time having wild boar, in Chiang Mai

 

 

[Marc26]

This dish was in Kamala Beach Phuket

 

I forget what came with original dish but they were out of it, the waitress came back and said the chef suggested I try it with apples, and it was FANTASTIC with apples!

You were pretty game to try that, pun intentional.  Was the flavour, spices aside, to your liking?

Yes I should have mentioned 

 

I liked it alot

 

And with your pun intended 

 

It was a bit more gamey and tough but with many dishes in Thailand, the sauce and the spices and vegetables dominate the taste

Was in BKK last weekend and wanted to try these more upmarket casual Thai places 

 

The chefs worked at Fine Dining Thai restaurants and then left to start their own casual Thai places 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They were ok but I said to my wife that you can't reinvent Thai food

This was Slow Cooked Beef Ka Prow

 

I thought I would love it but actually didn't think was that great

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Marc26]

 

 

This was at a place on the Chao Phraya overlooking Wat Arun

 

 

 

Great setting and food was decent

I did enjoy that Southern Style pork curry

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Marc26]

 

This was a place called Err in Thonglor

 

 

 

Again good but not great

 

 

 

 

[Marc26]

 

 

 

 

And of course the nest meal I had was 50 baht!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Thai ladies at the shop were shocked I ate all the chilies.

 

I've been eating a bit of fried fish this trip too

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Marc26]

 

 

I am a dessert connisuer and this could be one the best desserts I ever had!

 

A creme bun basically

 

25baht/1cad

 

I said to my wife that Asians take our food and make it better for 10% of the price 

 

[Marc26]

 

 

BBQ rat in the village

 

 

 

To be honest I wanted a gamier taste

 

It was somewhat bland 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Marc26]

The Aunt was dispatched to get prawns

 

Actually a lot more expensive than way back

 

But still damn good!

Wow really? I don’t know I want to try it

That is everyone's reaction 

Especially on my Facebook from America 

 

But it really is more bland than chicken 

 

Also this is not rat on the street

This is a field rat that eats good food

Did it come with an organic label? 555

Im told Cambodian's catch them around Pnom Phen rubbish dumps and sell into Thailand, though I'd assume not widely distributed.  But still ....

Ao has said forever these rats come from the fields 

Plenty of fields around.....

The owner of the local resort we are staying at makes us something special every morning 

 

Today he brought over these fried river prawns

They were fantastic 

Would have been even better watching a football game and drinking beer with!

 

 

[Marc26]

Some ugly looking fish tonight!

 

 

[Marc26]

Awesome chill mookata place 

 

With my ladies. 

 

 

 

[Marc26]

These little pheasants were amazing!

 

$1cad

I had some of the best Mexican food of my life......in Thailand 

 

And I'm still confused how the hell she is doing this!

 

Manana in Ao Nang

 

I went in and it was busy 

Actually left and came back an hour later and they had 1 table open

 

The cook/owner, Sonya, is a Thai lady cooking amazing Mexican food.

 

She is making sophisticated Mexican food, this is not some Tex-Mex place

 

She's making proper Mexican dishes

 

1st night duck and mango tacos

 

2nd night had amazing Birria tacos 

 

I originally asked if the owner was from Mexico

Nope....Thai lady

I ended up taking to her

 

She never been to Mexico.

She just loves Mexican food 

 

I then figured she went to culinary school

Nope she said she just loves cooking and taught herself how to male Mexican food 

 

I'm still floored that a Thai woman is doing this....
