I am still going strong on my 30 day Thai Street Food Challenge. I have now reached Day 10. I still don't know what I will eat from meal to meal. For breakfast I bought some khao niew moo ping (ข้าวเหนียวหมูปิ้ง), sticky rice with grilled pork on skewers. These are five baht each and the sticky rice was 5 baht too. So, I paid 30 baht for breakfast today.

The noodle soup I had today was quite good. It was kuay tiao neua (ก๋วยเตี๋ยว เนื้อ), beef noodles. This cost 30 baht. As usual you can choose which noodles that you want with this dish. I chose "sen lek" again. I guess next time I should order "sen mee" though I don't like that one so much.

For dinner I had a rice dish which is seen a lot around here. Though there are some variations which I will try later. This is khao kha moo (ข้าวขาหมู), which is stewed pork leg on rice. It cost 30 baht. It is another of those dishes that I hardly eat but I think I might after this challenge.

Today I spent 90 baht on three meals. This is about $2.92. You can now follow my food challenge on a google map.

I am now on Day 11 of the Thai Street Food Challenge. It is getting to the point where I don't really know what the next meal will be. I am also starting to have meals that I haven't had before or vary rarely. For breakfast today I had khanom bang sangkaya bai teri (ขนมปังสังขยาใบเตย). This is bread with a green custard dip made from pandanus leaves. I bought this the night before and it is sold tightly wrapped in a plastic bag. A nice light meal for breakfast that cost 20 baht.

For lunch I visited the vendors near the City Pillar in Paknam. I will probably be coming back here a few times for their rice dishes. Today I had pad prik gaeng moo (ผัดพริกแกงหมู). This is Stir-fried pork with red curry paste. You can also see green beans. I like cooking this one myself. This cost 30 baht.

For dinner tonight I went for another noodle dish as I haven't finished them all yet. This one is Kuay tiao ped (ก๋วยเตี๋ยวเป็ด) which is a duck noodle soup. This time I decided not to have sen lek and go for baa mee instead. This cost the usual 30 baht for the bowl. Drinks were free.

Today I spent 80 baht on three meals. This is about $2.59. You can now follow my food challenge on a google map.

It is now Day 12 and I'm nearly half way through my 30 day Thai Street Food Challenge. For breakfast I had some more noodles. This time kuay tiao reua moo nam tok (ก๋วยเตี๋ยวเรือหมูน้ำตก). This is boat noodles with pork. For this I had sen lek again. This was only 25 baht.

I wasn't planning to have noodles again for lunch but I came across this new dish. It is kuay tiao luk chin pla (ก๋วยเตี๋ยวลูกชิ้นปลา). This is fishball noodles. There was also deep fried wonton and mince pork. I'm not keen on seafood but this dish was preferable to the blood cake earlier! This one was 30 baht.

For my evening meal I went back to Racha Market to see what I could find. I was going to have pad thai but way too many people in the queue. I then spotted a vendor who had just finished frying a big batch of tod mun pla (ทอดมันปลา). This is deep fried spicy fish cakes. This is a favourite for many people and it cost only 20 baht.

I didn't think that would be enough so I bought another of my favourites. This is hor mok pla (ห่อหมกปลา) which is a steamed fish curry in a banana cup. The curry is coconut based and is very delicious. The contents does vary so you should ask. This one cost 30 baht.

Today I spent a whopping 105 baht on three meals. This is about $3.41. You can now follow my food challenge on a google map.

The three meals I had on Day 13 of my 30 day challenge are definitely ones that I won't be repeating! Not a very good day. For breakfast I had kuay tiao lui suan (ก๋วยเตี๋ยวลุยสวน) which is a vegetable roll with a spicy green sauce. I have had a kuay tiao lord before which I prefer over this one. It cost 30 baht.

For lunch I had something which turned out to be a bit of a mistake. It wasn't what I thought it was! This is sup hang hua (ซุปหางวัว) which is ox tail soup! There was a lot of fat on it and not much meat. The soup was good though. Tasted a bit like tom yum. This was an expensive 45 baht and an extra 5 baht for rice.

My evening meal was another dish which is not among my favourites. It was Khao kluk kapi (ข้าวคลุกกะปิ). This is fried rice with shrimp paste. I know some people like it a lot but I am not keen on it. This was 35 baht.

I have now reached the halfway point for my 30 day Thai Street Food Challenge. Today is Day 14! For breakfast this morning I had kai jiao moo sup (ไข่เจียวหมูสับ) which is omelette with minced pork on rice. This was only 25 baht and a good start to the day even if they did use too much cooking oil for my liking!

Lunch was another of my favourites and similar to what I had last week. It is khao mun gai (ข้าวมันไก่) which is of course boiled chicken on rice that has been cooked in chicken stock. This shop opens early in the morning and is a popular breakfast for many people. This cost only 25 baht or I could have asked for more by saying "piset" which is another 5 baht.

For my evening meal I had a curry for the first time. This is gaeng gari neua sai fukthong (แกงกระหรี่เนื้อ ใส่ฟักทอง), which is beef curry with pumpkin. It cost 30 baht and I then bought rice at another shop for 5 baht. The typical curry shop has a row of aluminium pots on display and you have to take the lid off each one to see what they are. It is usually cold as it is cooked earlier in the day.

Today I spent 85 baht on three meals. This is about $2.75. You can now follow my food challenge on a google map.

This is now Day 15 of the 30 day Thai Street Food Challenge. I discovered a few good curry places near my house so feeling confident I can now reach the end! For breakfast I had pad pak ruam mit kab kung (ผัดผักรวมมิตรกับกุ้ง) which is stir-fried vegetables with shrimp on rice. A nice light one for early in the morning and only 20 baht! They sell out by 10 a.m. every day. Will come here again even though it is all cold.

I bought my lunch at the curry shop from this morning when I was having breakfast there. It is penang moo (พะแนงหมู) which is penang curry with pork on rice. Again this was only 25 baht! I really like this curry and eat whenever I get an opportunity. I wasn't too worried it was cold. Getting used to that now.

For dinner I had a new dish which I haven't tried before but will definately repeat once the challenge is finished. It is Kuay tiao gai toon (ก๋วยเตี๋ยวไก่ตุ๋น) which is braised chicken noodles. I had the option to have chicken legs as well but passed on that. Maybe another time! This cost only 30 baht. Nice one.

Today I spent 75 baht on three meals. This is about $2.43. You can now follow my food challenge on a google map.

Today is Day 16 of the 30 Day Thai Street Food Challenge and I am feeling good. I started today off with breakfast at a food shop near my school. They have a row of tables along the sidewalk with trays of various dishes already cooked. For breakfast I chose to have pad tao hoo moo sup (ผัดเต้าหู้หมูสับ) which is fried tofu and minced pork on rice. Like yesterday, this dish only cost 20 baht. No wonder they always sell out by 10 a.m.

I bought lunch at the same shop as this morning. It is pad brio waan moo (ผัดเปรี้ยวหวานหมู) which is the popular sweet and sour pork. This cost 25 baht which includes the 5 baht I paid for hot rice at my local food shop.

I was really happy to find a roadside vendor selling one of my favourite dishes. I hadn't seen before outside of a restaurant. This is khao soi (ข้าวซอย) which is egg noodles (both soft and deep fried) and chicken in a coconut curry. It cost 40 baht. I will definately be going back here once my challenge is finished. It is great I am finding new places to eat.

I bought this dish at Racha Market with the intention of having it for breakfast tomorrow. It is por pia tod (ปอเปี๊ยะทอด) which of course is deep fried spring rolls. These don't really keep very well and it started going a bit soft. It was also too much of a temptation so I had it as an extra snack this evening! This cost 30 baht.

Today I spent 115 baht on three meals. This is about $3.73. You can now follow my food challenge on a google map.

I am still going strong with the 30 day Thai Street Food Challenge. I have now reached Day 17. For breakfast this morning I had a light dish good for mornings. It was khanom jeeb gai (ขนมจีบไก) which is sometimes translated as Chinese dumplings. These had chicken in them. This only cost 20 baht.

On Fridays I often have som tam thai (ส้มตำไทย) which is the famous spicy papaya salad. It is up to you how spicy you want to eat it. You can say "pet noi" if you don't want it too spicy. But, it is more accurate if you say how many chillies you want. I don't like it too hot so usually say "prik sam met". This only cost 20 baht and an extra 5 baht for sticky rice. The same stall also sells grilled chicken which goes well with som tam.

For my evening meal I had another of my favourite curries. This is masaman gai (มัสมั่นไก่) which you can eat with either rice or roti. This is Masaman curry with chicken. I bought it at a food stall near my local mosque. It cost 30 baht and I paid an extra 5 baht for rice.

Today I spent 80 baht on three meals. This is about $2.60. You can now follow my food challenge on a google map.

This is Day 18 of my 30 day Thai Street Food Challenge. I decided to go for a popular streetfood snack for breakfast. This is khanom kaek (กล้วยแขก) which is deep fried bananas. The vendor was selling them in bags of 10 baht and 20 baht. I went for the latter which was a bit too much I guess. But still tasty.

For lunch I went for another curry from my local Muslim stall. This is gaeng gari gai (แกงกะหรี่ไก่) which is yellow curry with chicken. I like this one a lot. It cost only 35 baht.

For my evening meal I went for probably the most popular Thai food for any tourist coming to Thailand. It is of course pad thai kung sod (ผัดไทยกุ้งสด) which is pan fried noodles with fresh shrimp. The dried shrimp version was 25 baht and this one was 30 baht. Very tasty and a shame I cannot eat again this month!

Today I spent 85 baht on three meals. This is about $2.76. You can now follow my food challenge on a google map.

This is Day 19 of my 30 Day Thai Street Food Challenge. Today was mainly streetfood snacks as I was busy with the Red Shirt Rally at Ratchaprasong. I started with breakfast of khao mao tod (ข้าวเม่าทอด) which is bananas wrapped in sticky rice and then deep fried. These were 5 baht each.

My lunchtime snack was khanom tokoyo (ขนมโตเกียว) which is a pancake with various fillings. I had a mixture of sausages and cream. I bought 20 baht's worth.

Lunch was mama (มาม่า), which is mama noodles. This was free as they were giving them out to everyone at the Red Short rally!

In the afternoon I had another snack, This is i-dtim (ไอติม) which is coconut ice cream with sticky rice. This cost 10 baht.

My final snack of the day at the Red Shirt Rally was khanom tang taek (ขนมถังแตก) which is usually translated as poor man's pancake. It only cost 10 baht.

Today I spent 55 baht. This is about $1.78. You can now follow my food challenge on a google map.
