Thai BBQ


The other night we went to a Thai Style BBQ restaurant about half a mile from the Condo, there are many of these in Bangkok, they all have a huge flourescent sign outside with a pigs head, the poor pig as chopsticks through its nose.
These are big Restaurants that seat several hundred people, there is one set charge, roughly £2.oo per head. On your table there are electric burners that are plugged in to some dodgy looking electrics. The waiter plugs the burner in and while you wait for it to warm up you go and grab your food.
You can choose as much food as you like from the buffet, all the meat is uncooked and you have to put it on the BBQ when you get back to your table.
I was worried about cross contamination of the meat! No one else seemed to worried so I tucked in.
As with any BBQ, anywhere in the world! You guessed it, it pissed it down the second we sat down, so we had to find a table undercover and move everything.
Meats included marinated chickens, beef, crab and Tripe. Now i've never eaten tripe before, so I was apprehensive, Nuch loved tripe, but she wasn't sure which part of the cow tripe came from. Who am I to tell her.
Sorry about the quality of the pictures, they were taken with my mobile.
