I think i may have just eaten the best meal of my life!

we just came home from dinner, and i am finding it necessary to blog for the second time in two days because the meal i just had was TOO amazing. we went to a restaurant called Chotechitr, and it has been written up in many bangkok and travel magazines...and, since it is a whole in the wall, it's guaranteed to be delicious! it was honestly by far the best meal i've had here.

here's what we ate:
crispy fried rice noodles (3 plates)
whole white fish with green mango salad on top
yellow prawn curry
red duck curry
banana flower salad with shrimp (my favorite)
eggplant salad
cashew chicken (andy's choice ;) )
veggie dish of some sort
rice

and....for dessert, we walked out onto the street and saw people toasting thick slices of bread covered in bananas and loads of chocolate....we almost didn't get any of it, but we decided to try it, and it was probably the best decision of the night ;) at first we started off with one order...i ate one bite, turned around and it was gone. so we ordered another....and another....and another...and finally, one last one that we tried with coconut custard (that is green in color; we can't figure out why all of the coconut flavored things are green here) and it was even better than the ones with just chocolate and banana...of course...the more sugar the better! (don't worry, there were 7 of us total, so we didn't eat THAT much..........oh, and it cost about $45 for all of that food....i know, i'm obsessed with reporting prices, but it still amazes me to this day; i wonder if i'll ever get over how cheap things are here?)

i remembered my fun fact of the day from yesterday:
-i accidentally ate chips that were made of "lean pork - 86%", so i am officially not a pescatarian anymore.....gross....what a way to get off the "lifestyle" of being a pescatarian ;) lol


going to watch a movie and digest now. xoxo
