A-roy mak kha! (Jättegott)

All our meals so far have turned into tasting menus (using the mai phet (not spicy) continuously.) It is a real culinary adventure, even if the blood sugar sometimes reaches rock bottom as it isn’t easy to decide, and all food clocks and taste buds of the family aren’t really in sync.

Breakfast is a top meal. Yes, I have to admit that I brought musli and oatmeal from home (nothing beats Icas frukt &nöt, and cereals are ridiculously expensive and sugary outside of the Western hemisphere) - but then we have local fruit galore… 3 kinds of melon, mango, passion fruit, some things I don’t even know the name of…

When it comes to street food Kiara is happiest with grilled corn. Alma has become even more vegetarian than before which makes things quite tricky as most things are rather meat focused. After going too bananas on the fresh pineapple however she even got frätskador on her tounge (looked like it had been pierced by 100 needles.)

Junia has gone out of her comfort zone big time by trying new things - but the limit still goes with fresh fruit. When liquified it goes down however, and fresh fruit and ice shakes - mango, pineapple, lime, watermelon, orange - starting from about 1 euro each are highly appreciated by the whole family.

One sad thing when buying dinner at x different places: spring rolls, bbq skewers, pad thai, mango & sticky rice, coconut pancake, fermented pork and fried rice, chicken in green curry… is that you get an awful lot of plastic. And garbage cans are unfortunately extremely rare. Today I for the first time saw a great initiative by a lady selling coconut pancakes: bring your own container, get one additional pancake for free! Luckily we hadn’t yet found anywhere to throw away the container from the previous meal…

Final thing about the culinary Thailand - the sodas. So colourful Kiara was convinced she was going to pee självlysande, bubbly as if you would swallow a brunch of butterflies, and sweeter than syrup. Kiara and Alma love them.
