Street Food

[Dino Velvet]

Street food from Seoul in South Korea.

Deep fried silkworms.

Unforgettable.

But not in a good way.

What's in the white cup?

THAILAND:
The best street food in the world. The people wheel their carts on the street at daybreak and close when they run out of food. New ones comes out at night. Bangkok used to have chicken/pork satay stores and carts everywhere but they seem to be out of favour, if you find these they are a treat!

Pork-Rice-Egg : It's a chinese dish more than Thai. Look for a huge pork shoulder on a wooden slab. You get a scoop of rice, shredded slow cooked pork, hardboiled egg cooked in same stock, some greens and chilli. Heaven.

Pad Thai : forget the goopy sweet shit you've had. This is the real deal, cooked on a giant flat pan while you wait. Forget chicken or prawns - the real one has only an egg and a few dried shrimp for protein. Textures and taste.

Som Tom : Papaya salad. Even professionals have a hard time eating a very hot one of these so you better ask for a mild one. Green papaya tossed with dried shrimp, chilli, vingegar and fish sauce. Eaten alongside other dishes. Taste sensations.

Soup Noodle : perfect to rehydrate and filling - add your own condiments.

Thailand ,BEST STREET FOOD IN THE WORLD.

Dandruff

Dandruff

Oh yeah. Course grind. Freshly raked out of the chef's mustache.

Don't believe them when they're offering you parmesan in your local trattoria, Dino.

It's fermented dandruff collected from the scalps of scrofulous 82 year old nuns in Naples.

In Bangkok they bring the restaurant to the street.

I'd agree on the general opinion of street food in Bangkok, but I'd suggest that Singapore is just as good - mix of Malaysian and Chinese and always very fresh. Best salads outside Vietnam too.

I am hungry after looking at some of those dishes

If it taste like craw fish I'm not with it! Being from the south, I have had a bug or two fly in my mouth. When I finally tasted craw fish, I saw no difference. I am not saying it is not for everyone... It just bought back painful memories....

If craw fish is the same as freshwater crayfish, they call them yabbies in Australia and there are few things that taste better straight off the barbie.
