I absolutely prefer...

  1. my chicken to be fillet, not chicken wings or a whole chicken. The very thought of eating chicken with bones sickens me, I cannot explain why, and I rather not eat it, no matter how delicious the chicken was done. If it has bones in it, I'm not eating it.
  2. Ditto to fish - this is worse, I fear that the bones may stick in my throat and slit it.
  3. Or anything with intestines, liver, kidneys - whole bloody innards, good grief, they are kept inside a body for a reason! Intestines - they filter your food and output POOP! Jesus.
  4. to have food in places with A/C and not seat by roadside stalls where I fear I might see a rat nibbling on ingredients that might go into my salad.
  5. not to eat at street side at all! I find street side food revolting and smelly - especially those have pork. And pork stewed in dubious gravy - god knows how long it has been sitting there.
  6. not to see raw meat placed in front of me while I eat. I was in BKK recently and walked passed countless stalls where they had pork, liver, coagulated blood nicely laid out in front of the stall - how is that even going to attract crowds? Obviously I'm missing something here.
  7. to eat sandwiches to a bowl of badly done noodles. Salads, pizzas (thin-crust), japanese anything. I absolutely love italian, nice good pub food.
I was in BKK over the weekend, and was so happy that I would be having phad thai, tom yum goong, lovely green curry. But it seemed that all my travelling companions wanted to do was to eat by road side stores. Or at the local kopitiams - where I see intestines swimming in the food, and the porky smell was so strong I almost turned vegetarian. Why?! Why would you want to eat porky, over cooked, fly-ridden food when you can get more hygienic and equally yummy food, for CHEAP in BKK?

And especially when you can see the lady who is preparing your food is touching your cooked food after she touched raw meat!! *faint*

And I was labelled atas cos of my food preference. That is so unfair. Made to feel bad that I didn't eat road side food which seemed good enough for others to eat.

Thankfully, my thai friends brought me to have decent thai food. hahah

Other than that I had great fun in Thailand -- the company was great, accommodation was fantastic.

I absolutely love the country!
