Thailand (part 2) The Food






The food in Thailand is amazing!  It's fresh, full of flavor, and cheap!  My favorites were the different types of curry.  The best that I had was a massaman curry with shrimp (I was going to take a picture of it, but I ate it too fast).  The pad thai was excellent as well.

I also sampled some non-Thai food (I allowed myself to do that because we don't have access to good western food in China).  While we were touring around the island on motorbikes, we stopped at a place called "The Romantic Bamboo Cafe."  (There are pictures, but I have to get them from a friend.)  The place was run by an Italian man and Thai woman, and they served an excellent seafood pasta.

On my last night there, my friend Steve and I went out with some locals.  They took us to a restaurant where locals eat (you needed to speak Thai to order), and I had a delicious noodle dish.  They also ordered a couple other traditional Thai dishes throughout the night, but I couldn't handle how spicy they were.

All of the restaurants were pretty cool.  They were all open air places.  The service was great and extremely polite.





The drinks were also really great.  The fruit juices tasted very fresh (whether on there own or in a cocktail).
