Luckily for me, we arrived in Phuket on the 5 December, and spent a few days staying with a friend from college, whose girlfriend happens to be a trained Thai chef. Unfortunately for her, this meant being bombarded with questions and a camera for the majority of our meals (thanks Thippsy!)....
One of the best meals we had was a BBQ prepared by Thipps and some willing UK kitchen hands who were only to happy to share in the results! First off we hit the markets for the food, which wherever you go in Asia are always so colourful and exciting, but also so unbelievably cheap. While restaurant food in SE Asia is obviously cheaper than being in the UK, the food from the market is mere pennies in your pocket. We all chipped and came up with this lot....
Everything seems to come in super size in Thailand. This is basically the Thai version of runner beans.
Some chillies to get those taste buds going!
Anchovies
King prawns - incredible size!
We ended up buying 5 fish for 180 baht - that's about 3 quid.
Mammoth squids!
More chilli to get those taste buds going...
