Thai Cuisine

I am not exaggerating when I say that one of the main reasons I was dreading leaving Thailand was that the food is just so, absolutely, fantastically, wonderfully, “bloody” amazing! I swear that each dish I tried just got better and better.

To begin, the exotic fruit. I believe that I have found a new obsession, Mangosteen. They are these delicious little balls that hold the richest and sweetest tasting fruit inside. I guess the best way to describe the taste is a beautiful combination of a ripe cherry and a tangerine combined into one little fruit. I averaged 20 a day. Another exotic fruit called Durian comes with a warning: DELICIOUS BUT DO NOT LEAVE IN A SMALL CONFINED SPACE. The reason for this warning is because it smells like serious body odor, but is actually pretty deliciously fascinating. I unfortunately did not heed to the warning and left the fruit in my room over night. I woke up the next morning, smelling every article of clothing until I could find where the stench came from and BINGO, durian was the winner!

One of the best parts about Thailand is that street food is probably better than restaurant food. Don’t be afraid to try food, you will likely not regret it!
