When you travel to Thailand, you often get the same response: \u2018Oh, how wonderful, they have the best food there!\u2019
Yes, that's right. I love Thai food! Especially the abundant use of crunchy vegetables and ripe fruit. Those mangoes! Yummie! (By the way, here's a link to my post about fruit in Thailand<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, I actually eat something different than I thought I would. On my way home from the dive boat, I am often quite uncreative and just grab a quick beef noodle soup somewhere along the way. That's why this post took a little longer than expected and is not limited to \u2018real\u2019 Thai food. Don't worry, I'm not going to show you burgers or noodles \ud83d\ude09 But at a street food market here in Phuket, you don't just get papaya salad and the like, but also dishes with influences from all over Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, cheking back in here regularly is worth it<\/strong> \u2013 I will keep updating this post throughout my time here in Thailand with the latest dishes I treat myself to!
And at this point, I must also briefly mention that food photography is challenging, and unfortunately, mobile phone cameras do not always produce the best results under poor neon lighting. Nevertheless, I hope that everything looks at least somewhat appetising!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My streetfood in Thailand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thai Hotpot<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Let's start with a real highlight, namely Thai hotpot (Chinese hotpot is also often available here, but it's slightly different). Basically, it's a soup fondue with lots of herbs and vegetables, into which meat or seafood is dipped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let's go: eat the soup and briefly cook the meat in the liquid using chopsticks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Springrolls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In this case, it's more like the Vietnamese version of spring rolls than the Chinese ones we know. But of course, those are available too. You simply choose the plate you want, and then everything is freshly fried and served hot with sweet chilli sauce and soy sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Frische<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grilled Pork Salad<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Quite salty and slightly spicy \u2013 that's how I would describe the taste of this delicious dish. The word \u2018salad\u2019 is debatable! I had also expected \u2018grilled pork\u2019 to be slices rather than minced meat, but that's the beauty of eating here: you're always surprised. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Grilled<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basil Pan-Fried Pork with Egg<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It tastes really great. By the way, if you don't like fatty meat, you should avoid pork in Thailand, as fatty pork belly is very popular there. This dish also tastes great with chicken and is a real classic of Thai cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Thail\u00e4ndisches<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beef Noodle Soup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My real favourite, I wonder how long it will last \ud83d\ude42 Depending on the restaurant, you choose the type of noodles you want and get a large bowl of delicious soup with beef and your choice of noodles. You can also help yourself to fresh herbs and crispy bean sprouts. I could really eat this day and night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Typisches<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pork Stuffed Omelette<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Omelettes are something you often get here, typically for breakfast. While I tend to go for the classic Thai omelette in the morning, i.e. with just a few herbs and vegetables, my companion ordered the hearty version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Thail\u00e4ndisches<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fried Rice with Chicken<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Boring, I know. This is really classic fried rice, just like you get at Chinese restaurants. But hey, my stomach wasn't feeling great the day before, so I didn't want to try any wild experiments right away... \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Auch<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pancake with Mango and Milk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Finally, something sweet! Especially in the evenings, they pop up everywhere: small street stalls selling pancakes. They are actually crepes and are prepared on a hot plate, similar to those in France. They are topped with ripe fruit and whatever else you want: Nutella, nuts, condensed milk, etc.
Nutella banana is also highly recommended!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
