Good eating at Amphawa!

We started our trip at a famus noodle shop near Vicotry Monument.


 Getting a good start.

 I do love noodles!  We all do!

X shows the damage.  Sixteen of us at one hundred sixteen bowls.  That is not a typo!  The bowls were small, but still.  Oh my! (I only had three.)


Dinner Saturday at the resort.  Mmmm... fresh fish.


Real chicken wings!


This soup is so good I can not explain.  It was the first time I ever tasted it and it was incredible... spicy, a tomato flavor, with shrimp...  wow.


Lunch today was... noodles!  This time from a noodle vendor on a boat who pulled up to us and started making bowl after bowl.  Here, I am about to wolf down a glob of congealed blood... a standard ingredient in most Thai noodles.  A bit like liver.


At the top of the bowl, you can see another clump of congealed blood.



Thai desserts are unusual to Westerners.  This is a type of jello-like chunks, made warm, but swimming in a bowl of sweet liquid and ice.  Yummy!


We kept the lady in the noodle boat busy for a long time.


We must not have been so hungry.  Only one hundred four bowls this time!
