    Tesco Feast – Not Another Noodle Soup

    October 21, 2013

    For a while now we have been unexcited to try yet another variation of noodle soup and have been craving some real Western food. The options in places like Phayao are very limited and if there are options, they are usually way overpriced and not very good at all. Laying on the bed hungry, we decided that we had completely run out of appetite for noodle soups, mystery meats, coconut flavoured stuff, salty deserts, durian ice cream, sweet bread, MSG, pork floss, Mekong river crab, chilli, pickled cabbage, unrefridgerated meats, rice, soy sauce, fish sauce, mystery sauce, things we just don’t recognise, cinnamon beef stock… and we came up with…

    Weird Things to Eat in Thailand: The Edible, the Inedible, and the In between

    October 14, 2013

    This post is for my sister, the foodie and chef. She likes food. We like food too. And we especially like Thailand. We also like being on a budget. Everything below is food you would find in a random market off the beaten track or in a roadside hut. We tend to avoid the more Western options serving pizza, burgers, etc. because while we love pizza, burgers, etc. we kinda know the best pizzas won’t be anywhere near the border of Thailand and Myanmar. Sorry, truth. Anyway, here’s some weird things to eat in Thailand. “A Woman and her Curries” Most locals seem to buy their food from the markets,…

    Koh Rong – Eating Sea Urchins

    June 5, 2013

    Day 2 on Koh Rong we were planning on hiking the 1.5-2hr journey to find the 7km beach on the other side of the island. As we were packing our cans of tuna and crackers into our day bag, it started pissing down with rain. Hours and hours of rain, so we decided to postpone our beach hike and ended up drinking beer at lunch and then going on a leisurely kayak ride with the other couple, Seb & Evelyn, from Palm Beach. Beast had advised against swimming in the beach outside of Palm Beach Bungalows as the warm weather had brought an abundance of sea urchins into the area,…
