DINING EXPERIENCES in Chiangmai,Thailand
MK - a unique dining experience in Chiangmai
There were 5 of us plus William, the baby. We dined with a large pot of soup in the middle of the table and they bring numerous sauces, a soup bowl and a plate for all the different foods. Small baskets of eel, octopus, shrimp, steak, pork, chicken, mussels , clams, mushrooms, beef, squid, carrots, shrimp balls, flour balls with filling, noodles, cabbage, different leaves, corn on the cob, baby corn on the cob, raviolis with various fillings and other items I didn't recognize we're brought to the table for us to put in the pot. Beef and pork which were sliced very thin were brought for us to eat while we were waiting for the food to cook. They refilled the green tea as soon as the glass was half full. We ate for almost two hours.
When the bill came and I treated to this feast, it was less than $45 for all of us. Everything was fresh and prepared beautifully.
Then we went to the ice cream shop and had ice cream plain or dipped in chocolate for less than $2 for all five. What a deal.
In the evening, On made smoothies with fresh oranges and pineapple and went out to a street stand and bought us all roti. Roti is a crepe cooked on a large griddle with sweetened condensed milk on it, powdered sugar, honey and bananas if you wish and then all rolled up and folded in a piece of waxed paper. They are delicious and cost between 30 and 50 cents each.
The next day we ate at Shabushi, another excellent Japanese Restaurant where the food comes by on a conveyer belt and you take what you want and cook it at your own cook pot. They also have rice, fried shrimp, sushi, vegetables, fruit, ice crem and desserts. It is a dining experience.
