ReplyDeleteThe loud chats of people all around shouting for the prices of their food and making customers aware of their low prices with a large plate of food. The smell of thai curries all over the market, the sweet scent of thai dessert flowing in the air, the hot sweet basil rice just cooked at that moment made every stomach started to growl. Even though the street food is a wonderful part of thai culture and cuisine, it is still a good idea to be careful when eating it.

ReplyDeleteYou can see the grey smoke flow around in the air from a tiny booth attach with a vehicle that can be transport to any place, a box made from glass with colourful fruits in it, or or a noodle soup shop with no more than 10 tables along the street. You are in Thailand which street foods are everywhere surrounding you. It can take less than 20 steps and see foods are being sell. Surprisingly, these foods only cost you less than 50 bath.

ReplyDeleteWalking along the bustling street in Thailand, it is irresistible to glance your eyes to where the inviting smell comes from. A varieties of colorful creamy coconut curry, smoky barbeque skewers on a flaming grill, a real original ‘Pad-Thai’ made in an open-air kitchen are available for your choices of selection. Those under-three-dollars-mouth-watering street foods that you will never find in any restaurant attract anyone who walks passed to give it a try. However, what really happened behind the kitchen, no one knows. By taking just one step behind the bench, you will be amazed, or in the other word, ‘a reality’ will amaze you. A picture of an ants troop parading from a bag of ingredients; a couple of mouse playing hide and seek in the corner; and a floor full of dirt and rubbish will disgust you from eating street food. Yes, it looks good; yes, it tastes good; yes, it’s so cheap; and yes, it’s also dirty. Even though street food is a wonderful part of Thai culture and cuisine, it is still a good idea to be careful when eating.
The diverts color that kick your sight, the smell that punch your nose and an invite for saliva. What can be better than to taste one of the tastiest foods in south East Asia. Thai food such as tom yum and green curry are Thai food that is a mixture of herb and nutrition, and the best thing about it is they can be found anywhere from street to 5 star grand hotel. However caution should be considered. Too much good thing can turn into a bad thing, and not all Thai foods are healthy.Even though street food is a wonderful part of Thai culture and cuisine, it is still a good idea to be careful when eating.

ReplyDeleteIn the U.S., there are only a few kinds of foods to buy for 1 or 2 dollors. But in Thailand, that's enough to walk like a millionair on street food markets. Thai street food is not only cheap, but also plentiful and delicious. Travelers and residents are mostly happy with the reasonable prices and tastes of Thai street food. However, since the streets are full of dogs, insects, garbage, and vehicle exhaust fumes, the cleanliness and nutritive conditions have always been doubtful.

ReplyDeleteIt is widely recognized that street food has significantly become very famous in Thailand. Most of the Thai people usually consume street food. Some people mention that street food is wonderful because it is cheap and delicious. However, from my understanding, people should be careful about consuming street food because it can provide negative consequences to people.

Women are very sensitive and care about their beauty in order to show people that they look good.However, this beauty does not only exist to women, but also the men. It can be clearly seen that men are very concerned about their bodies and faces nowadays and I personally believe that this is because the of the influences of media !
