Food. Interrupted.

By Leave a Comment

I’m going to interrupt my usual ramblings today to create a photo blog of some of the food I have been enjoying here. It would not be exaggerating for me to say that, after breathing, food is the marvellous mystical pleasure of the Universe divinely inspired to make sinners atone and angels do damnable deeds.

Fresh coconut! Yummy!

Of course the most refreshing thing in the world after a long sweaty walk is a fresh coconut!







Thai tea latte!
The coffee here is repugnant. Melbourne, you have ruined me. Fortunately, Thai people know about tea. Traditional Thai tea on soy or coconut milk is luscious. Thank the Buddha that I love tea!


The BEST chocolate mousse ever!
And mouth watering, melt in your mouth coconut ice-cream!




Boldly brilliant banana cake & Irish breakfast tea

I have spotted as I’ve been walking about stalls for locals and workers. They contain all sorts of treats, mainly vegetarian (except for the BBQ on a wire places). I spotted little plastic bags filled with pink noodles, a couple of beans, slices of carrot and slices of fried flat egg: a simple ‘pad thai’; wrapped bamboo leaves containing sticky rice; dried banana chips in hard plastic bags; and dried puffed rice patties with sugar and salt (I tried some of these beauties and they were delicious, sweet rice chewy gooey-ness).


The freshest fruits!
Sweet potato & walnut burrito!
Fruit salad!

The best hummus!

I have found the sustenance of the gods vegan Israeli place. Hair-raising hummus and zesty falafel. Twists on other great cuisines, like Spanish gazpacho and Vietnamese rolls… Mmmmmmmmmmm.

To die for ‘Jupiter Moon Cakes’ with dill and cashew cheese OMB!
(Oh my Buddha!)
Fresh fruit shake!
Only in Asia: Salt & Seaweed Pringles!


















The next three dishes are all my breakfast items!

Banana in sweetened coconut milk!
Mushrooms and loads of garlic!
Yes, those big chunky white things
are garlic!



Rice soup with vegetables & fresh ginger! 

























And I am treated to fresh, crispy vegetables and amazing flavours generously laden in Thai cuisine. 

Pad Thai with a twist!
Basil, crispy veges & tofu! MMmmm

The freshest vegetables with a delicious peanut sauce!
A closer look!



And finally, the best Massaman curry in the entire Universe! Seriously. Rich, and supernaturally good. The only problem is, Belleza won’t let me have it every night for dinner. She thinks I need variety! 🙂

THE best Massaman curry EVER!!!
