"Hot plate" dishes along Khao San Road, Bangkok







Along this street, there's a stall selling sweet drinks/juices. Wow! I'm impressed with the huge array of fruits, jellies, nuts, etc, etc, etc. My photo only show a small section of what's on offer.

Outside a 7Eleven store is a stall is a stall selling piping hot porridge - looking at the number of customers, you know it is very popular with the Thais.





My first taste of "hot plate" dishes was outside a 7Eleven store beside this porridge stall. I had pork while my husband ordered seafood. It was piping hot both in terms temperature hot and spicy hot. It was hot until the last mouthful. I learned a lesson - when asked whether you wanted it "hot", please be careful. If you say yes to hot, it is really spicy!!!

Cost: 90 baht for both plates





Right beside the "hot plate" stall is a stall selling beef noodles soup and it is quite popular by the look of it. There are lots of newspapers reports along the wall showing news reports concerning this stall and its food. This is my first interaction with the Thais when I was told to "sit you down". Sorry, I can't show you a photo of this "sit you down" shop cos the noodles was so delicious that I forgot to take out my camera.

Street market at Khao San Road, Bangkok






Ordered a plate of scallops fried with basil leaves and a bowl of tom yam soup costing only 115 baht. I thought it was cheap and the taste: yummy!!!




It's nice to stroll along the street looking at "street ware" and seeing a lot of different foods and produce. I was impressed with the freshness of the mushroom and I saw one giant among giants!

Eating insects experience in Bangkok











Well, I managed to eat some delicacies. All these foods were fried so I can only taste something crispy and crunchy. Nothing much to it - just pop them into your mouth, chew and swallow.

Location: Also at Khao San Road, Bangkok.

Result: No stomachache experienced after the ordeal!
