Old Hippie Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Here's a few standards and favorites... This guy has all the Issaarn favorites...the salads, the sausages, and the dried pork... The ice cream makes a great dessert, and helps cool the burning sensation caused by good Lao food! While we are talking food...the first meat I am sure is tripe, the second some sort of liver type meat...what is the third one from the left, between the liver and the big chunk of pork...? rat maybe? Anyway, love to eat, and street food is good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkkbound04 Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 I've taken quite a fancy to the bread rolls, forgotton the name of it but there's one just by foodland. I find them very addictive and travel out of my way to get a couple. I found these rolls by accident one day when I was hanging about siam sq, I saw agroup of people(mainly thai students} in a queue, being the inquisative type I joined it and ended up eating these heated bread rolls with butter inside.

potica69 Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Durian is considered the "king of fruits" to the southeast Asians. On thing I must warn everyone about: DO NOT EAT A BUNCH OF DURIAN AND THEN DRINK A LOT OF HARD LIQUOR. You'll have such severe gastric cramps and pain, that you'll roll around on a bed or floor praying for mercy. Awhile back while in Pattaya, I bought some durian from a street vendor lady, where the inside yellow lobes were removed from the fruit and packaged up. One morning I ate about 8-9 of those creamy yellow lobes, and then went along the beach to jog. About an hour later, I wanted to sit out at the pool and smoke a fine Montecristo cigar and have some drinks. To get feeling mellow right away, in the hotel room about 11:00 A.M. I quaffed down about 5 shots of Thai whiskey, and then proceeded out to the pool. Within 15 minutes, my stomach started to give me grief. I went back up to my room and chewed about 6-7 Mylanta tablets. Mylanta did nothing to alleviate the stomach pain. I kept eating more and more Mylanta to no avail. I suffered all day long, until by 8:00 at night, the pain became so severe, that I went to the local hospital. They gave me a horse dose of some medication intravenously, and they gave me a few narcotic pills to take back to the hotel that would knock me out and let me sleep. I did just that, and in the morning I was fine. I talked to several Thai people over the next day or two about my bad experience, and invariably they all shook their heads and implied that it is common Thai knowledge to never mix durian with whiskey. I learned my lesson. Since I always drink when in Thailand, I just totally avoid durian now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limbo Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Wow Potica, That's a lesson learned the hard way indeed. My wife told me this the first time I started to eat and appreciate Durian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddha Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 I am a Khao Man Gai expert..... The number one Khao Man Gai in all of thailand is on Soi Convent. At night they take a spot just across from starbucks and in front of the french bistro [forgettable in quality, name, but not price]. Khao Man Gai is perfect food, it is one serving of spinach short of perfection..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limbo Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 My wife still gets durian cramps and she doesn;t even drink! Can eating durian provoke throwing up (possibly in combination with alcohol)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shygye Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 It will cause your stomach to explode, just like pop rocks and pepsi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
