Street food, Bangkok

Shall start my Bangkok post with the street food we had for this trip.....

I'm lucky to travel with a group of friends who enjoys food as much as me, so we managed to eat quite a fair bit of street food this time round :). Had some thai fish cakes..This version was more like fish balls...guess it was easier to eat while on the go.

Some grilled meat balls...

Rather bland to eat by itself, you'll need some chilli sauce (unless you wanna eat it with the bird's eye chilli and sliced ginger..)

Some street food are really colourful.. We decided to take the plunge and took a package of the fried quail eggs. Tasted exactly like chicken eggs, just that with loads more cholesterol.. yikes!

The local fried banana fritters..The batter's more fragrant as there's coconut milk in it. Lots of sesame seeds too.

Wanted to try the local ice cream with bread when I saw some locals buying it...

You can choose the ingredients to be in the sandwich...sweet glutinous rice, nata de coco, pineapple cubes..And topped with coconut ice cream. Not that nice though as the ice cream lacks flavour. Was just plain sweet.

Some bite size fried chicken..Crunchy on the outside, the meat was tender and juicy. We had the deep fried prawns too. Not as nice and I've forgotten to take a shot of it..hehe

Tried the thai fried crullers too..Sucky. I prefer malaysia yau char guai.

My fave and must have every time I'm in Thailand...The grilled squids...Smokey on the outside; springy, sweet and juicy on the inside. Have it with the ultra spicy and sourish sauce. Delicious.

Grilled chicken..

Tasted somewhat like satay chicken (without the peanut sauce), the chicken was well marinated. Only trouble while eating this was that they didn't debone this chook.

Grilled catfish tasted exactly like those in Malaysia...

Yes, ikan keli. Yummy when we have it hot; the sauce was pretty good too.

This snack was really scrumptious...

There's sweet flavour (with yam bits) and savoury ones with spring onions...

Cooked in halves, it's stuck together when it's almost cook. So we get a sorta flattened 'ball' shaped snack. The center was still creamy and every time we bit into the centre, the warm filling oozes out and it's fantastic!

Lastly, my favourite local ice cream...

Served in half coconut shell, the young coconut flesh was scraped out and topped with very creamy and rich homemade coconut ice cream. The ice cream had bits of peanuts and jackfruit. Real bliss having this. Found this little gem very near Pantip Plaza.

In case you were wondering, no, we didn't eat all of this at one go. We had it in a span of a few days. :p
