I have made it a point to seek out how to eat my favorite food in the world, Thai Food, and have as close to an authentic experience as I can. My friend here in Chiang Mai has shown me the way to eat local Thai Food and how to do the order process when you go into these street cafe's; it can be a bit confusing when you first walk in.
The first thing I noticed is that the food portion size is half of what we get in America.
Who remembers me eating the hot peppers directly out of the jar when I was a kid and pouring A1 sauce all over my food, then getting in trouble for it? Well, guess what? I was born to eat Thai food and I still eat hot chilies, or a chili sauce of some kind with every meal, including many different kind of curries.
The chili sauces that they provide with the plate of jasmine rice and barbeque meat of your choice are great, usually along with a sprig of cilantro. Accompanying this plate of rice and meat is usually a bowl of soup of some kind, spicy of course.
As I am writing this blog, I realize I do not have many photos of me?! What the heck?! Ahhh! Well! You know I am here in Thailand and you know what I look like.
Joking!!
The main point about this entry is to observe everything around you and you might just find out that what you are looking for is right in front of you, take the time to look around a little more.
