Food around Chiang Mai

Sticky Rice







Chiang Mai culinary is known for its sticky rice. I was fortunate to find a street vender selling it. Typically, sticky rice is cooked in a bamboo over direct heat.









This is what it looks like after the dude chopped the bamboo open. It was pretty good. It had coconut cream flavor with a hint of char bamboo infused.



Khao Soi



Khao Soi



Chiang Mai cooking has a mixture of Burmese and Chinese influences. One of the more popular Northern Thailand dish is called Khao Soi. After asking around town I finally found a spot that serves it. Khao Soi is a curry based egg noodle soup. The curry is mellow and sweet with hints of coconut cream. It is served with chicken, pork or beef. With pickled greens and onions on the side. It was very tasty.



Chiang Mai style sausages







These were by far the best sausage I've ever had. It looked very bland, but it is anything but bland. There were so many different herbs and spices. The lemon grass rounds everything out. On top of that it is very spicy.



Roast Chicken and Spicy Pork with Sticky Rice



A fellow traveler recommended this place. There are no words to describe how good the sauce was.



Dessert
