I'm in Phuket for the
vegetarian food festival which hasn't started yet. In the meantime a gal has to eat, and I LOVE Thai food, so have been pigging out on loads of different things. My stomach is happy but my waistline is groaning.
I love the Thai curries and spicy dishes, and I usually eat at the market or food stalls in Phuket town. However I think the market in Krabi town is actually better for getting the real spicy dishes.
I love these dishes, close up view -

 |
| spices for the curries |
This is all vegetarian
And of course I love the sticky cakes. I am addicted to some of those. Thanks to Noel in Thailand for the id's of the cakes.

ReplyDeleteMy friend, Sherry, said they should be piak-poon, not ka-nom-dok-din. Both are black so I'm not sure. I have to eat them to identify. :P
ReplyDeleteThe white and blue are kao-kriab-pak-mor. The ball-shape ones are sa-koo-sai-moo. :)
