Feed me; roasted chicken

Marvelous, roasted chicken served with sticky rice and Som Tam (papaya salad). If you ever find yourself in Thung Chang (city), Thailand, it is on the main road just past the school on the left side (coming from Nan).

Feed me; deep fried snack !

I don't eat a deep fried snack that often, but this fish looked too delicious to pass by. A lovely restaurant in Khorat (Nakhon Ratchasima), Thailand. Plenty of choice and not mentioned in any guide books to my knowledge. Opens about five in the afternoon, once serving starts you might have to get in line for a seat, well worth it though. I don't know the name but it's on Jomsurangyard road.
(Check location for a map)
