Taste of Thailand (Phuket)

"Amazing."


If there was ever a place in the world I would visit just for the eats, it might just be Thailand. This land was full of amazing tasting pad thai, tom yum, fried rice, etc etc. I will forever be telling people of the amazing eats in Thailand... and how cheap everything was!!!

"That's the longest I've ever gone with just eating Chinese food day-in and day-out."

Most of the food we had in and around Gaungzhou was simply... AMAZING.
Here's a compendium of a few worthwhile mentions.

Glutenous rice with a lotus seed for aesthetics. [It was pretty good!]

Deep fried mantou with condensed milk to dip it in. [FOODGASM!!!]

Also pictured in the background is deep fried pumpkin rolled in crushed duck egg. [It was good]

Lamb of some variety of cooking. [It was just ok]

"Yang Mei"

Red berries from the village. After some research, they're called Myrica rubra. [FOODGASM]

"Stuffed Three Treasures"

Eggplant, Red Bell Peppers, and Bittermelon stuffed with minced meat. [FOODGASM]
