Hu Tianlan, a famous food critic in Taiwan Province Province, said that eating is a very subjective thing, and there is no difference between good and bad. Indeed, in my opinion, the existence of food is reasonable. Such as durian and houttuynia cordata, some people love it to the extreme, while others are cruel and profound.
It has been a whole year since I came back from Thailand last year. During this period, my friend asked me how Thailand was. I said, as far as eating this thing is concerned, it should be the most satisfying and enjoyable place I have ever eaten. Q: What are the delicious things in Thailand and how do they taste? I said: Like all Southeast Asian countries, the taste covers sour, spicy, fishy and fresh, and then my friends showed a little disdain. I know this topic can't go on happily, which is why I seldom introduce my favorite food to people.
However, every time I see someone go to Thailand on social software and eat the food that I missed, that kind of joy comes back to my mind. Taste can't be shared, and it also has memories. Today, I want to talk about what I ate in Thailand.
Pork knuckle fan
Before I came to Thailand, I didn't actually plan to eat pig's trotters, because my parents didn't eat pork. I was not a meat-free person since I was a child, and I didn't eat heavy and greasy things at first. Unexpectedly, this night's ecstasy meal, after one night, became my dream taste.
Eating pork knuckle rice is the second stop to Thailand, Chiang Mai. After visiting the ancient city on Saturday night, I visited a small night market, which is said to be a small night market for local people (vendors and night workers). After studying the route, I began to take small steps. The stall of pig's foot rice is very big. The proprietress rolled up her sleeves and smiled, and the diners waited for the money in an orderly way. Looking ahead, I found a pot of tender red and white fat.
As you can see, this bowl of innocent pig's trotters rice is 30 baht (6 RMB), covered with a special sweet and sour sauce and mixed with crispy pork. In Chen Handian's words, it tastes like "Ah Q".
Sour pork and glutinous rice sausage
This is very common in all parts of Thailand, and it is also a well-known local snack. I bought delicious sausages in Bangkok and Chiang Mai. It is worth mentioning that You Guo's sausages are selected from pork in northeast Thailand. Through fermentation, the meat and dense glutinous rice are poured together, and then the skin baked with charcoal fire is very crisp, especially refreshing and appetizing. I can eat three at a time (after meals, of course), and the price is about 3-5 RMB, but the size is much larger than the sausages sold in domestic cinemas.
Green Papaya Salad
Green papaya salad is a very popular daily light meal in Thailand, ranging from king to women, children and the elderly. Because the ingredients are simple, fresh and easy to cook, there is also another name for "the taste of thousands of people". Green papaya, persimmon pepper, white garlic paste, red pepper, fish sauce, lemon salt; You don't have to wait in the street for three minutes when you are lonely. Just cook a meal now, eat it while walking, or go to the restaurant and order a plate to make it up. In addition, if you are a herbivore and are keen on fish sauce, you will be surprised.
Thai fried rice noodle series
Thai locals rarely eat rice, and most of them take rice noodles and rice noodles as their staple food. Hot fried shops can be seen everywhere in the streets. Of course, although its composition is single, its practices and forms are not lacking. I have eaten fried rice more than five times in Bangkok and Chiang Mai. There are famous high-class restaurants and well-known humble shops on the Internet. It can be said that every kind of pot is full of fragrance and affectionate. It should be that the local chef pays attention to the control of the temperature, which is sincere and inexperienced, and full of saliva.
Thai spinach
I like vegetables. If I don't know what to eat on weekdays, a meat dish and an instant vegetable are simple and easy to eat. In the eyes of Thai people, green vegetables have never been used to satisfy food and clothing, nor is it a "small white" dish in the eyes of ordinary people. Green vegetables have become a wonder in the eyes of Thai chefs because of their unique seasoning origin and food inheritance. Imagine the taste of vegetables in your mouth, and stir-fry them with Thai red pepper and sprinkle them on the vegetables just out of the pot. This delicate and abnormal thinking is worth remembering.
Seafood and grilled
Thai seafood is an important category of all foods. Personally, I generally like seafood and only like shrimp. Because of time constraints and personal travel, I didn't waste time in the seafood restaurant. I picked up fresh grilled live shrimp when I passed by. It was sweet and delicious.
In fact, the price of seafood in Thailand is not much cheaper than that in China, but it is convenient to get the land, and the word "fresh" is the first priority, which abandons a lot of intrigue. To sum up, it is actually a trivial matter to want to eat seafood in Thailand.
The crowded night market is the same as the supermarket seafood shop in the rich area. Seeing is believing and it is ready. It's actually quite pleasing to the eye just looking at it.
Fish cake/minced meat pie
Fried fish cake can be said to be a Thai craft dish, and it really took no effort to make a fool of itself. However, such an ancient folk snack can only be seen in an endless night market in a certain area. Why? It must be a monopoly business. I have tasted it several times in various concentration areas, and it is really delicious. There is nothing to say. Three or four dollars for a small pocket, tender cucumber, sweet and spicy sauce, and a bite of fish. Minced meat pies are different from fried eggplant boxes in our country. Seasonings such as citronella are added to the minced meat, and the fragrance of minced meat begins to produce at the moment of frying until it spreads in the bite. I like both kinds of snacks.
Dong Yin Gong Tang/Pineapple Fried Rice
Actually, I don't expect much from Dongyin Gong Tang, because my taste has always been sour and spicy. I have always been a frequent visitor to a very authentic Thai food in Shenyang, and I have been eating it since I opened in 1989. However, it is a bit inappropriate to come to your country without tasting other people's top 1 food. In fact, I just want to stand up with my hands folded immediately after the first sip and say to the people around me: Sawadika, a sense of intimacy that will soon be there. I am more keen on scouring their raw materials than Dongyin Court, so I went to the local residents' market one day without warning and bargained with a group of enthusiastic housewives. Citronella, lemon leaves and Thai peppers are also used as daily supplements by local people, and the prices are naturally cheap.
Pineapple fried rice is naive, regardless of the difficulty. In a restaurant, I ordered a few mouthfuls in a hurry as a routine job.
Thai seafood/meat miscellaneous pills
There is a small thing in countless night markets, which makes me eat very comfortably. But I don't know what its name is. Lazy as I am, I haven't looked up its information on the Internet. In fact, it is a kind of stocky meatball made of fish, crab meat or vegetables, similar to Guandong cooking. The taste is particularly unambiguous. Originally, Yu Lu was in the mood to go shopping and bought a book. Accidents are an interesting thing. Later, I saw it everywhere in the street and bought a copy, eating it while walking.
dessert
The day I arrived in Thailand was the Thai New Year Songkran Festival. Although the temperature is kept below the perennial temperature, it is quite humid and muggy. The interval between eating cold drinks and sweets is probably the time when I brush Weibo to avoid the paralysis of the sun sofa. One of the best desserts in Thailand is mango coconut ice, which is a well-known local chain brand, similar to the popular snow ice in Korea, but the price is much closer to the people. It's not sweet. It's a whole piece of mango and a large piece of coconut left by a spoon, covered with snow smoothies, which is a little sweet, and the whole person has a chill in an instant.
Later, I ate a smoothie in the small night market in front of the hotel. It's delicious, too. The sand smells like milk. The main thing is that it is not so sweet, and it is especially satisfying to quench your thirst on a hot night. Coconut ice cream will do. I thought it would be a very amazing taste, but it was actually a very light coconut flavor. Even you need to chew hard to taste a little sweetness, which is also a qualified dessert for the elderly.
Mango rice
Mango rice, which has been passed down by friends from all over the world, can be regarded as the most eye-catching feature of local cuisine. I finally got it because I personally didn't like it. It's so sweet, the local mango is thin and fleshy, and it makes your mouth water. Pick up a peeled glutinous rice and bury it in steaming glutinous rice. The aroma is fragrant, but the glutinous rice itself is sweet, and it is rare to pour fresh coconut juice. It's just a diners' "coming" mood.
fruit
Eating fresh fruit anytime and anywhere is a local daily routine. There is no such thing as seasonality, and the fruits rich in the tropics are unobstructed. Cut it now and make it into juice or smoothie, whichever you choose. Because I am a person, with big eyes and small belly, and insatiable taste of beauty. When checking out, there are often scattered fruits left over from yesterday in the refrigerator. Anyway, in the final analysis, tropical fruit? J's "Kill You" doesn't need such a copy as "Sweeter than first love".
A friend once had no intention of chatting with me, and mentioned that Thailand is really a place where you can rest assured that you can support your old age. I said, really, I'm going to stop working in the future and set up a stall there to sell pancake fruit. In Chiang Mai, even the wildflowers on the roadside are lazy, one step at a time, so uncomfortable; Don't worry about losing yourself there, people are floating and steady.
All the food mentioned above impressed me and I really like it. Don't make any strategies when traveling, just make important endorsements and alternative routes in advance to deal with the weather. Thailand is not big, it is simpler and easier to go than the second and third tier cities in China. The local people are also very simple and kind, so they have to enjoy it.
As I said before, eating is a particularly conscious and subjective thing. I don't care about other people's empathy. There is no store address and route information left on it. If you are interested, you can find a better store on various websites and apps, as long as you have the heart to "eat". If you can sum up your time in Thailand in one sentence, it is: before you leave, you have been looking forward to the next arrival. (Also, when I eat you! )
