Food - Pt.2

Street food is everywhere, literally. Food stalls on the market, food stalls on the street.
Actually it's quite good, although I discovered my limits in pork intestines, colour: grey.

Almost a vegetarian look-a-like I mistook the most wide-spread snack as tofu on a stick.
Either in a 3x7 cm slice or in small balls, pale in colour, looking rather juciy, Thai must love steamed Tofu, I thought. Well, FAR AWAY.
Minced meat, mainly minced, then meat it is. Haven't tired it so far, as there were more attractive alternatives.

Don't worry, we will get to delicious stuff soon enough!

From an visual point of view, banana leafs play a significant role in selling food.
Either as wrapping for e.g. sticky rice (cooked with coconut milk, wrapped around mango or sweet potato) or undefinable disgust with soybean, decoration for plates. Sometimes it is used to grill stuff, like aluminium foil wrapped around potatoes. Nevertheless, my creative favourite were small boxes or ships, filled with scrambled egg. Placed on a teriaki-style grill, the omlet forms slowly and you can add shrimp, mushroom or small rings of squid. Yum.

The logical step after fast food is a food-o-mat, e.g. for instant noodle soup. For those who know, a Prosi-o-mat. In case you don't wanna be filled (and saturated with MSGs), a lot of pre-cut fruit is available as well. However, sometimes you get strange ones, too.

White, firm, a little bit like an apple, but bigger. No taste at all, unless you dip it into the additional small bag, with suguar, no suprise, and chilli, big and disgusting suprise. By lucky coincident, some tastless fruit was left over. So, in the end we could get rid of the disgusting remainders in our mouth.

Another, even more comfortable way to "eat" fruit are fresh smoothies or fruit shakes. No need to know the Thai names of the fruits, just point at the ones you want in it, a dash of salt, a lot more sugar syrup. Will it blend? Oh yes, with ice, a shot of condensed milk and your dose of vitamins is done.
