Thai food

How can I begin to describe the food in Thailand? To start with, I will say that I did try the street food, and I did get food poisoning. However with the food poisoning still in my system I kept trying all the local foods, because they were that good. I literally could not stop eating! It also helped that Sophie, my friend and amazing tourguide would run to a food cart every five blocks and return with a bag full of some new treat and insisted that I try it.



One of my favorites was a mini crepe filled with egg cream and shavings on top that I think were actually shrimp flavored. I had mini thai donuts, fried bananas, deep fried beef with sticky rice and Thai apples (which I believe are called cherry apples).

Thailand was also the first country to witness me trying seafood. I am normally a VERY picky eater, but how could I resist a fish that had been killed literally one minute before being served to me? It was the freshest fish I have ever eaten and the sea food was actually very good. By the end of the trip I was trying fried squid eggs like a pro.


The pad thai was obviously amazing, filled with new flavors that I had never before tasted and I was introduced to the hotpot; a giant pot where you combine vegetables, meat and noodles in a delicious broth.
Every day brought new tastes and flavors that really brought all of the sights and sounds of the city together.
