A couple making phat Thai on Thanon Ratchawong in Bangkok’s Chinatown. This was one of the better versions in town, but I haven’t been back in ages. Wonder if they’re still doing it? An outtake from #thenoodledishesofthailand by @pawkhrua w #jjgoode.

Noodles w chicken and bitter gourd is one of the cheapest dishes in Thailand and, not surprisingly, a fave of Bangkok taxi drivers. An outtake from #thenoodledishesofthailand by @pawkhrua w #jjgoode.

Today saw the release of #thenoodledishesofthailand, so for lunch I ate... noodles. But not the soupy stuff most people think of; this is khanom jiin kaeng kai, thin rice noodles topped w chicken curry. This restaurant has been open more than 60 years now and to me, this dish, w its mild, rich, slightly sweet flavor, is the taste of Bangkok

#thenoodledishesofthailand is officially out! But there’s a few more images I’d like to share, so I’ll continue. This is of a woman frying noodles at a streetside stall in Bangkok’s Chinatown. An outtake from #thenoodledishesofthailand by @pawkhrua w #jjgoode.

I hadn’t been on vacation w Thai people in a long time and had forgotten about the amount of food consumption that’s involved. Seriously. Snacks were eaten before lunch which was spent talking about where we would eat dinner and ordering additional dishes after which there was sweets and more snacks. But thanks for organizing @ooufoto and @r.michelle.s! 😵😵😵

Hua Hin's night market

April 11, 2009 in blog

Hua Hin isn't exactly a food destination, but the city has a pretty solid night market. From surprisingly un-greasy phat thai to tasty looking curries, I found something there for just about everybody.
