Eating out, Bangkok Style (Day 2)
By Kerry-Ann
Being Malaysian, its not surprising to have asked, “what’s for dinner?” when you’re having breakfast.
Day 2
We visited Klong Toey, the slum area of Bangkok. Despite being able to hear the echoes of our growling stomachs, we were not very interested in the idea of a meal after what we saw. However, by nightfall we were ready to look at what the streets of Bangkok could feed us with.
I’m not sure exactly what it is with eating the same food in different places, but I guess you could say that’s what we did, because Tom Yam was on the dinner table for the second day in a row. Not as tantalizing as the first day, the Tom Yam in a little quaint shop along the heart of Khao San road, was perhaps catered for the less masochistic. Crab omelettes came as a recommendation, but I would say otherwise.
My favorite part of the day was dessert. Venturing out into the streets alone with my room mate at 1:30 in the morning, we found the most appetizing food – pancakes!
They were not like waffles or the Dutch influenced Apom Balik pancakes back home, instead they were actually made from dough and fried. In short, they were roti canai’s, topped with chocolate sauce or bananas and cheese.
Heaven.
