As one of the best known street foodie capitals of Southeast Asia,
Bangkok has an endless variety of food to tempt your tastebuds.
So I'm going to share some of the top favorites
of both, tourists and Thai.
Tom Yam is the national soup of Thailand.
Its a mixture of lemongrass, chili and kaffir leaves.
Doesn't matter how hot or humid it is outside,
I can eat this day or night.
Next up is Thailand's national stir fried rice noodle, pad thai.
It's fried with egg, chopped tofu, soy sauce or fish sauce.
If you love noodles, highly recommended is boat noodle alley at Victory Monument.
the noodle bowls are small but only cost 12 baht. What it is is a beef noodle soup.
One of the main ingredients is cow or pig's blood.
A common noodle soup you might find on the streets is fish ball noodle soup.
It's really a fish cake served in a clear, light, non-spicy broth.
The taste hardly very fishy, but it is very flavorful.
If Thai dishes are too spicy for you, then there's always vegetable rice porridge.
There' mushroom and cabbages.
I love these types of mushrooms.
I'm not not sure what they're calked but I love them… string mushrooms.
Nice clean broth.
The Thai Taco is a coconut creme wafer.
It's a creme filling and an outer wafer cookie.
The inside can range anywhere from coconut shavings to meat, combining sweet and savory
together.
Here we have some chocolate banana roti.
There's chocolate and bananas in this.
The Thai love their deep fried bugs .
It's considered street snacks.
These all cost 10 baht each for a little package of them.
In honor of vegetarian festival week a lot of the street food vendors have those little
yellow flags up
meaning that their food is vegetarian.
So this is like heaven for me right now.
So now I'm at a street food stall tables totally gnawing on this loveliness,
which only cost me 20 baht.
Even though I can't tell you want they are, other than they're made of vegetable or vegetable
protein, soy protein or tempeh...
Kinda like a vegetable tempura. Yum. Good.
Som Tam is a favorite salad of Thai..
It's sour and spicy, but flavorful, green papaya salad often served fresh up on the
streets with motor and pistol.
The lemon juice, fish sauce, dried shrimp and some peanuts.
On of my favorite dishes in Thailand happens to be very simple.
Fried Morning glories with garlic and a little bit of chili.
So here we have Thai iced tea.
You can find this thai tea anywhere in bangkok.
It's very milky and very sweet.
You can taste the carnation milk in it.
But it's also got the flavor of the Thai tea, which is kind of like a black tea.
A lot of street vendors make this Thai iced tea.
Of course, it's filled with ice, because If you like it cold, which the Thai do, especially
in this heat.
Then they pack it to the top with ice. The the ice melts in the heat and then you 've
got your cooled down Thai tea.
(Red Bull ) It's an energy drink.
Supposedly it's a lot stronger than the western version.
Bottoms up.
Not feeling a buzz yet.
I know the american version tastes more like soda. Got a little pep to it.
This is surprisingly very smooth.
In thailand you'll see a lot of fruit drinks, flower drinks, herb drinks.
This is some kind of berry drink.
You can actually see the berries in this.
This tastes like a pickled plum.
That's one fun things about traveling too.
You never really know what you're actually eating.
But only that it tastes good.
