"My Culinary Experience in Thailand"

Hi guys! I won't post any recipe in this post, but I'm gonna share about my culinary experience in Thailand. I've been to Thailand like 4 times in these past 2 years, I really love Thailand yeahhh!! I ate a lot in Thailand, the foods were cheap and delicious.

Besides cooking, I also love travelling. I love going to places I've never been.. I always wanna try their authentic and street foods. This time, I'm gonna share about the foods I ate in thailand, I hope it would be helpful if there's any of you having plan to go there. Enjoy!



1. Best Thailand Noodle

 
This is the famous one, even Bong QiuQiu (Singapore famous blogger) ate this noodle. The portion is so small, it comes with pork, veggies, and dumpling. Very yummy!! Fyi, the waiters can speak 'Bahasa'. You can find this noodle in Pratunam Area, it is located in a lane next to Shibuya Mal and opposite from Platinum Fashion Mall. It contains pork so it is not halal.

2. The Street Foods


BBQ sticks in pratunam at night. Look, the big prawns! hahaha
also BBQ sticks, they are very cheap, and delicious ;)

I don't know what to call this, it is "Banana Martabak"
 

Fried pork in Chatuchak Market. Chatuchak is a weekend market, only open in Saturday and Sunday. There are soooo many stalls there , divided in some sections such as Pet section, Houseware section, Clothes section, Antique Stuffs section, etc . Don't forget to see the market map before you go around or you might get lost cause chatuchak is a very big market. In the centre of Chatuchak (assembly point) there are a looot of street foods. Most of them are delicious. and CHEAP!

Thailand has so many street foods and most of them are delicious. You can find them in crowded area like Pratunam, Sukhumvit, etc. Usually they sell their foods on the sidewalks along the street :) I also ate fried chicken, giant banana nutella crepes, etc etc but I didn't keep all the photos, I'm sorry :(

3. The Fruits

Sweet Mango. SUPERRRR SWEETTTTT, looks so pale but that's a disguise, don't judge a mango by its colour ! HA HA ;)

Fruits stall near Laser Buddha . They sell various fruits. Look! The red guavas, bigger than ours. The durians, come with big size but didn't look so yummy.

NAHH!! Durians, but better look, right? Goldy butter ... NYAMM. Thailand is famous with their durians. You can find this durian stall in a night market near Baiyoke Sky hotel

Thailand coconuts! Coconuts everywhere

 

4. Bubble Drinks

 I am addicted to bubble drinks! I LOVE BUBBLE DRINKS! I don't like mineral water :P .. these are bubble drinks I've tried in Thailand,he he
Mr.Shake in Central World Mall.

Ochaya in BTS station in front of Siam Paragon Mall

THIS IS THE BEST MATCHA MILK TEA EVERRR!! Matcha milk tea by Coco Thailand. The best. You can find everywhere, but I bought this in Platinum Fashion Mall, located near the entrance. We also have coco in Jakarta but they don't have matcha milk tea. So sad!

Cha Cool Za in MBK foodcourt. not so yummy.

Dakasi in Platinum Fashion Mall. U must buy try Taro milktea with oreo toppings, they fill 1/2 of the cup with the oreo.. i n s a n e ... lol . We also have dakasi here in Jakarta but the taste is not same. 

Mr. Cup T in Terminal 21, I bought the classic milktea, taste GOOD! a must try !

5. Mcd and KFC

Crispy and delicious pie. Mcd in Indonesia don't have this. super yum!


The chickens! They got nuggets and fried wings (small size wings), the taste isn't so different with Mcd Indo but their chili sauce isn't spicy at all, adapted with Thai chili sauce
KFC menus. Took this photo in KFC Asiatique night market. They also have egg tarts and some other menus we can't find here in Jakarta.

KFC in Thailand don't sell rice, they sell chicken with fries or mashed potato with mushroom gravy

6. Snacks you can find in Malls

Milk Solid ice cream, a must try cause we don't have here. They use gastronomy science to make this icecream :) You can find milk solid in Terminal 21 mall
                                                   
Cupcakes LOVE. I bought the mini ones (2nd pict). also in Terminal 21. Best cupcakes ever, even better than Twelve Cupcakes :D

Popco, they have unique flavour like wasabi. You can find in Terminal 21 mall

Mister Donuts in Terminal 21 mall

TaeKaeNoi Land in Terminal 21 mall, a store full of seaweeds :p. Please ignore my exhausted face hahaha



Happy Lemon in Asiatique Night Market

Taekaenoi vending machine near the cinema in Terminal 21 mall, we don't have here in Jkt

Churro Stix, also in Terminal 21 Mall

Nobita. They sell Japanese foods :)

Snacks I bought in Bkk. I love HICHEW soooo much... always bought in Singapore but quite expensive for a candy ($3.50) then found in Thailand with cheaper price. So happy and definitely will buy MORE, soon when I go back to Thailand:)

7. Food Court Foods

BBQ over rice in Platinum Fashion Mall food court. Cheap!! 70thb

Noodle soup in Pier21 (Terminal 21 Food Court). Super cheap only 25thb! Crazyyy!

Takoyaki in Platinum Fashion Mall Food Court

Pho Noodle soup, I forgot where ! HAHA

Omelet and crispy chicken with rice, super cheap only 60thb

Chicken Steak with fries in Pier 21, CHEAPPPPP! only for 40thb :|

My favourite food court is Pier 21 in Terminal 21, foods in there are very cheap yet so yummy. My boyfriend and I always had  '2nd round' there.. HAHA!

8. Thai Can/Bottle Drinks (You can find in Family Marts/Seven Eleven Stores)

My favourite all the time, Meiji Fermented Milk. Various flavours like strawberry, orange, peach, etc. The size is big, way bigger than yakult

Aloe Vera drink, refreshing. Always bought with the Chrysant Tea, also good but I didn't keep the pic :(

Full of Thai drinks :D


If you are in Thailand, don't forget to visit their Seven Eleven or Family Mart, :) They're everywhere, easy to reach. You can find various snacks there. Seven Eleven Thailand sells cheesy sausage, super yummy and really recommended, you must try!!.

9. Foods in Damnoen Sadoeak Floating Market

Pork Noodle. You can buy the noodle from the auntie but your boat won't stop near the auntie until you finish eating, the boat man will keep going around the floating market area while you enjoying your noodle. You can put the bowl on the boat right after you finish eating, the boatman will return the bowl to the auntie :)

BBQ wings on boat. If you are on the boat and you wanna buy something just tell the boat man so he / she can stop the boat and wait until you already get the food/stuffs.
There are many foods seller in Damnoen Sadoeak Floating Market, I also tried the durian sticky rice, mango sticky rice, coconut, and pork satay but I didn't took the picture :(


I love Bangkok I love Thailand I love the foods I love the cheap price I love the shopping area! I'll go back to Thailand soon and will definitely buy my favourite foods and try new foods so I can share my new culinary experience in Thai later hehe :))
thanks.for.reading :]
