It’s What I Ate Wednesday! This week I’m remembering what we ate on our recent trip to Thailand! I’m a sucker for all foods Asian, but Thai is a top favorite. This was my first time having it in Thailand, so I was eager to enjoy it all!

Breakfast

We were only there three mornings, but we made the most of our options. First up: Congee! This is actually a Chinese breakfast food that I’ve had a couple of times before on a plane. But since I knew I liked it, and it’s a general Asian dish, no exclusively Chinese, I felt justified in getting it. It’s like a rice porridge (the consistency of oatmeal) with savory add-ins like chicken, salt, chives, soy sauce, and some other additions as you like. We also chowed down on some interesting fruits at the hotel before we left in search of breakfast:

Lunch

Pad Thai! I could not leave Thailand and not have enjoyed some authentic pad Thai. Steve got a good old fashioned American-style burger, however, because sometimes you just want a taste of home! We actually ordered this poolside at our hotel. We felt so fancy! Yes, we waited enough time before jumping in.

Suppertime

Well, you know I can’t go anywhere in Asia or the Pacific without trying their sushi. Thailand did a wonderful job of sushi! But I also wanted to make sure I tried something traditionally Thai that we can’t necessarily get authentically in the States. I don’t remember what the dish on the left is called, but it was delightful! It was a type of breaded prawns in curry sauce over rice. It was too spicy for me, but I ate enough to fill me up enough, and then I moved on to dessert!

Dessert

Who can resist mango sorbet? Not me! It was a delightful end to a delightful sushi meal. But the pink stuff on the right… not so much. I don’t remember what it was called, but it sounded like the most authentic thing on the dessert menu! It was sort of like coconut noodles in coconut milk with pink, crunchy tapioca balls. Eh. Sometimes you get a winner, and sometimes you get crunchy pink stuff. It was an experience!
