Food Porn (not)

My sister asked about the food here. Well let me tell you. Everyday I get up and have tea at 7:30, which includes, duud chiya (milk tea) with toast and nutella!!! Then at 9:30 is breakfast which is basmati rice (baht) and lentils (dahl), the lentils are cooked like a soup so you pour it on top of the rice, then you get a side of vegetables, sometimes spinach with green beans or potatoes with peas and tomatoes. It's really quite good BUT you have the same thing for dinner at 7:30pm except they change the vegetable to whatever they have. I am already sick of rice. Today, Saturday was a special surprise, we had for breakfast rice with egg on top, no dahl!!

Momo's

As for lunch we have been going out because we are sightseeing, this often includes the national dish of Momo's, which is a dim-sum dumpling stuffed with vegetables or buff, yes buff not beef(cow,Hindus), so it's water buffalo. They are very good BUT had them 4 times now. They also have for lunch chow mein with buff or chicken, had that once. Haven't had any fruit, fresh greens, coffee, cheese, yogurt,ice cream, popcorn, chips,pizza, wings,beer,wine since being here. But have had Pepsi-Cola after all that's the name of the town, cost about .25cents for a bottle. Once I know my way around I can make my way into the city where there is a Pizza Hut, KFC and American style restaurants. Dinner is in 45 minutes, guess what's for dinner.
