Tastes

I admit it: i love talking about food. I'm not addicted to food but I like trying new things and savoring the favorites. Along the way I've discovered a few new items here in Asia. In our stopover to Singapore I decided to try their 'Thai citrus' flavored fries. It came as regular french fries with a packet of powder. After sprinkling some on my fries I was pleasantly surprised with the lime/orange flavor. I would definitely try that again.
Another item of interest was at the McDonalds in Bangkok - I purposely
was trying to find new items in a familiar place and noticed an option of rice with spicy chicken on the menu. Another fun item was 'bubble tea' drink on the McCafe list. I took a picture of part of the menu, complete with 'pie' options. We have the apple pie in America , but here you can also get the same pastry crust with tuna, corn or pineapple filling.  There are quite a few 'duck' options along with pork and chicken. Manasa likes the spicy items but I prefer to stay mild. We have quite a few food stands down the street from where we are staying, at half the price of the hotel menu (which is still reasonable and tasty). One item I tasted that I did not enjoy, was the Lays chips : Seaweed flavor. I don't dislike seaweed- I like sushi wraps and sometimes even seaweed soup...but this just didn't seem hmmm "right". So I'll pass on that one next time. Thankful that I enjoy eating rice as I see a lot of that in my future :)
