Eating!

Now that I only have about a week left before heading home, I want to be sure to revisit my favorite dishes. Last night we went back to the Guitar Bar so I could have my favorite pineapple fried rice. It has bits of chicken and a few small shrimp along with the rice, raisins, and vegetables. Delicious!

Dan had one of his favorites, Panang curry with pork (steamed rice alongside).

These are the salt and pepper shakers at the Guitar Bar. Cute!

There's a place at Chiang Mai Gate where someone makes samosas every evening. Two chicken and two veg (potato) made plenty for our supper. We like them with some sauce and yogurt. The bowl is made from a banana leaf, great way to serve them.

We do like a snack in the afternoon. There are usually cashews and dried mango available, and we've gotten fond of these, Kanom Dok Jog in Thai, Lotus Flower Cookies in English. They are crunchy, just slightly sweet, and have a good though mild flavor. I found a great video on YouTube that shows how they are made. Maybe this link will work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVQD55PMavo&t=8s

A reliable place to find them is a kiosk on the sidewalk between our place and Chiang Mai Gate. They cost 20 baht (about 70 cents) for a bag of five). They break easily, so I try to pack them carefully into my string backpack.
