Foreigners love hamburgers, french fries, soft drinks and Thailand’s rice at each meal. But I prefer to go after more life in my life, and now in Canada, retired in Chiang Mai, Thailand?
As in any big city, there is an abundance of restaurants catering to different tastes and all budgets. Chiang Mai is no different. Likes to eat Thai. The restaurants are full of Thais and foreigners, which all types of cuisine. Instead of good restaurants, which we all eat, but not every day, this article deals with the dining room every day of the Thai population, here in Chiang Mai.
Popular Restaurants in North America, Harvey’s, McDonald’s and Burger King. Here we have the road. The end result is a quickly prepared meal offering.
May street vendors sell fruits such as pineapple, mango, watermelon, strawberries (cultivated locally), and much more. Each fruit is cut into small pieces and placed in a plastic bag and it has a long stick of wood, with a meal. The price is usually 10 baht which is around 25 U.S. cents and the fruits are fresh and delicious. Again, the sellers sell fast food and snacks. Get a rice flour, meat and vegetables back into a plastic bag, but this time well wrapped by a rubber band around 20 baht, or 50 U.S. cents Select a plate of rice, noodles or a court or a soup. Yummy and usually has been prepared and packaged and is still warm, or if you wait one minutes from the pot and put him into the bag while you wait. Thus, the food is cooked and delicious snacks for a total of around 75 U.S. cents for many Thais in Chiang Mai is in the common meals. You then have to be home with the car, unpack the rubber band, a little rice in a bowl, several bowls of the table with a bottle of water and for their meals.
We all love fast food, and we all want it to be affordable. That is what we have in common. What does differ here and there is the price, quality and service.
Price. The price for the meals, whether in the restaurant or street vendor is cheap compared to what we are accustomed to. A meal can fill it with less than 1US dollar for a meal, I above, in a bowl of rice, ready-made meals from street vendors and fruit sellers street. For only U.S. $ 2.50 you can have dinner in everything you eat full buffet, desserts, coffee, gratuity and taxes, as well as a recommendation for the parking prices are low, because the ingredients were local, and because the labor costs cheap.
Quality. The quality of the food is much healthier than the ones at home. Back at home, KFC, McDonald’s, Harvey’s and are popular lunch and dinner restaurants. If you think you think that healthy food, even once. Here you have no fat fries, hamburgers, stuffed full of ketchup, mustard, onion, mayonnaise, and more to hide, the taste of meat that you eat. Here you can eat rice, vegetables, fresh fish, drink water with meals, as the size of a plastic bucket filled with ice and flavored sugar sweetened carbonated drinks.
Service. A young person deserves a little more money in a fast-food restaurant or an adult from a living working full time at a restaurant here. That is what they offer the best service? Nothing more needs to be said.
If you are in Chiang Mai are the restaurants that what you normally have. Mai also you to stay home and buy a video about Thailand, or a TV program to Thailand.
Food is tasty, healthy and inexpensive.
The main raw material in all the dishes with rice. Yes, the rice for breakfast too. I’ve never been one for rice. Potatoes were my. But here, the potatoes are expensive, and although I acknowledge that the purchase and the soup of potatoes and French fries, is the exception rather than the rule.
As I said, Thailand is well known that they are doing good.
Take fresh ingredients, combined it with rice and gravy, which is key to the taste and it is – healthy, tasty and cheap food.
If artificial skin locally with pineapple, watermelon, mango, strawberry, or a dozen or more fruit and a meal, you will benefit, and that is good for you.
The funny thing is that the food you really not right for you. What are your favorites? Cakes, pies, french fries, hamburgers, ice cream. Well, they are not good for you in the form of regular eating. What you hate to eat? Broccoli, asparagus, spinach, brown rice, chicken in the pot. Well, this is good news for you.
So, if you go to Thailand. Try different types of food in Thailand. May are you a soup that you can not get enough of skills, a Thai dessert or that you have no idea what he was, and providing you with numerous services, or fresh fish which are abundant here. Shrimp, the bar and cooked on a large plate, you want more.
I have the meals, snacks and fruit, in small roadside food vendors and never problems. The ingredients are fresh, preserved in the ice, if necessary, the cooking areas are cleaned regularly. I see this as a safe, cheap to buy snacks and meals. I recommend a bottle of water can be purchased in 7 / 11 for only 13 cents, you May a little dry, especially if you walk a lot and if something May, the reason for a quick trip to the rest room.
Are there things I just do not eat Thai food? Yes, it is a fruit called Durian, Thailand, the love, but he has an irregular odor, when I gave him a test, I had to breathe through the mouth. Outside the smell, the texture is a pudding, and is rich in flavor. What I had not the courage to try, and I expect what is healthy eating fried insects. I suppose that there is only a matter of getting used to this one. I could make dinner, both the fruits and insects regularly, if I am breathing through the nose and keep my eyes closed, while I ate.
But you should try what we as Suki. It is a soup that you cook on your field in a pot with glowing coals, up to. You decide on the ingredients like chicken, beef, liver, fish, and add and remove when they are cooked. Usually meat go first because they spend more time for cooking and vegetables. In 5 minutes you have your soup. Two small bowls along with the food. Both are due to the hot chilli. One has the impression of a green paste and the other red-term. You can switch your meat or fish in batter or a teaspoon in your soup. Green is the spicy paste that comes to me a little and gives me the desire a glass of cold water while I eat my soup. The red paste, I do not and you should try unless you know to eat or are you in Mexico. My girlfriend eats his Suki with the green paste and allow them to travel to the toilet in the middle of the night and do not clean your teeth here. Complete meal for 4 people for about $ 3 U.S., and taxes, tips and bottles of water with a bucket of ice.
Remember, as I earlier said that the Thais have the reputation to do everything, the taste of the delicious dishes. That is true. The key is the sauce. I do not know what to do with the ingredients in the sauce, but I know that I am not a rice eater and now I’m scraping the bottom of each cup of food, is from me. Plain white rice cooked in a rice cooker combined with roasted vegetables and the meat with the special sauce is simply delicious.
And if you want to know where I am now eating the election, a fast-food restaurant or a street vendor here? My answer would be a street vendor here. After lunch, I met, the food is tasty, the fruits are fantastic and the prices are so low, and I’m fitter.
