Hello, my foodie friends! I hope 2018 has been going well for all of you so far! I can't believe it, but I got to finish off 2017 by celebrating the holidays in Thailand. It was much needed R&R, but more importantly, the food was incredible! I thought I'd share some of my favourite bites from my 2 week long eating tour of Bangkok and surrounding areas, but there's a lot.
Food courts in Bangkok are quite the spectacle. Their fast food is just food that is prepared quickly, but isn't necessarily greasy, junk food.
 |
| Pad See Ew (Fried flat rice noodles fried with gai lan, egg, and pork) at Tops in CentralPlaza LadPrao, Bangkok |
 |
| Satay (Grilled chicken on a stick served with a spicy peanut sauce and fresh pickled cucumber) at Ortorkor, Bangkok |
 |
| Kaeng Lueang and Khana Mu Krop (Yellow curry with pork and pumpkin and spicy pork and gai lan) at Platinum Fashion Mall, Bangkok |
 |
| Lad Na (Fried flat rice noodle sheets with chicken, gai lan, and gravy) at Platinum Fashion Mall, Bangkok |
 |
| Khao Niao Mamuang (Fresh mango with sticky rice, toasted rice, and coconut milk) at Siam Centre, Bangkok |
An amazing feature of Bangkok was the availability of street food every 50 metres or less. I will miss being able to find freshly barbecued meat on a stick at 7:00 in the morning for $0.30 CAD...
 |
| Roti (Thai-style roti filled with fresh banana slices and fried in butter) at Tha Phrachan Cross River Ferry Pier, Bangkok |
 |
| Kuay Teaw Ped Toon (Rich broth with egg noodles, fresh cilantro and green onions, and duck breast) at Tha Phrachan Cross River Ferry Pier, Bangkok |
 |
| Guay Jap (Rolled rice noodles with fresh pork and roast pork in a white peppery broth) at Yaowarat (Chinatown), Bangkok |
 |
| Itim Khanom Pang (Taro hot dog bun with scoops of coconut milk icecream, sticky rice, red beans, sweet potato, coconut jelly, and condensed milk drizzle) at Ortorkor, Bangkok |
 |
| Sai Grok Woon Sen (barbecued pork sausage with glass noodles) at Sanam Luang, Bangkok |
Other favourites include familiar "all you can eat" style dinners with a Thai twist!
 |
| Thai-style barbecue hot plates allow you to grill food on top and simmer food on the sides. This was at Bar-B-Q Plaza in CentralPlaza Grand Rama IX, Bangkok |
 |
| Thai-style hot pot is similar to Chinese hotpot where you can have a mixture of raw food to cook and hot food that's ready to eat. It's served with green pandan noodles, which goes really well with the soup! This was at MK Restaurant in Tesco Lotus LadPrao, Bangkok |
All in all, Bangkok was filled with all sorts of delicious food available at nearly any time of day. 10/10 would eat again. Look forward to Part 2 for more things you must try in Thailand!
