quite simply, i loved this place. this was the coolest market ever. cooler than the baltimore farmers market, more real than the market at the ferry building in san francisco certainly a different selection than the boulder market. the widest selection of the most beautiful foods i had ever seen. and honestly, i didn't know what half of them were. i did however know what these babies were. giant prawns with green chili sauce. they were delicious. the sauce was green from lime juice, cilantro and green chilies.
this is hoi tod or mussel pancake. served with a slightly spicy sirracha style sauce. the mussels were plump and sweet. it was of course delicious
i tasted lots of stuff that day. i had one of those coconuts drinks, i had a bright green drink in a bag that i know was something from my childhood but i can't remember what. i had tamarind juice, some pad thai and my favorite of the day, duck soup noodles
this was what i went to thailand for. i have read that there are better places to have lunch in bangkok but i didn't find them.
