I kept several lists of random tidbits in my travel journal. Here were some popular food items:
*ice cream sandwich - as in: ice cream between two slices of wonderbread (served in a plastic bag)
*sticky rice with mango & coconut milk (by far the best food in Thailand)
*yogurt or ice cream topped with corn & black beans (you can even get a corn or black bean popsicle)
*omelets
*lotus root & palm seed (pretty good)
*fish sauce with hot peppers on rice (available at most meals - even thought I don't generally like fish sauce, this stuff was actually pretty good, and I practically lived on it)
*strong instant coffee - I think I saw one coffee brewer the whole time I was there. "3-N-1 Turbo" is my instant coffee of choice
*100 Pipers Scotch - (Scotch and soda is the popular drink)
*Beer Chang, Singha, Heineken
*beverages served in plastic bags
*that may look like a dessert, but it's actually pork!
*durien: the stinkiest fruit of all time (It is banned from hotels and airports. It smells like B.O.)
*whole fish (served at almost every meal)
*green bean chips
*fried grasshoppers, cockroaches, & grubs

That all sounds disgusting. I don't think I would have survived...or at least I would have lost a few pounds.

Posted by: jeniliz at May 9, 2007 01:18 PM100 Pipers Scotch, huh? I picked up a bottle on clearance at Albertson's a while back. Not a fan...I finally got some friends to help finish it. I'm sure it would've been better with soda, though - I shoulda thought of that.
