The food

If you know me at all, you know I've been obsessing over the food since we arrived. What kind of blog wouldn't mention all the yummy dishes we've had?? I'll start with the best, and everyone's favorite.

Pad thai from a street vendor in Bangkok. It may not be the cleanest or fanciest dish, but it consistently tastes amazing, is ready in seconds and costs about 50 baht. We've eaten it in restaurants, on street corners and in Thailand, Cambodia and Singapore. We all agree, it's best from a street vendor in Bangkok.










Another favorite is papaya salad, made of young papaya, spicy chilli, i think cabbage, and whatever spicy sauce they put in it. I really have no idea what it's made of, but it basically sets your mouth on fire. That doesn't sound so good, but it really is. Here's a pic of us getting it made fresh on the beach.










Another great dish that I don't have a picture of is tom yam kung, a spicy seafood soup. I stole this pic from google to illustrate its yummyness.









We've also eaten our share of Western food, but it never lives up to your expectations. It's best to just eat the local foods while you are here and wait for Western food when you get home. Plus we always end up feeling sick after eating it. The portions are just too big.

Another of our go-to meals has been fried rice or fried noodles. They're pretty good everywhere you go, and you know what to expect.

I've got plenty more food pictures, but this is kind of a boring topic for non-foodies, so I'll just end it here.
