Today is a special day for everyone as you get to read a specialized post from Mo's favorite fat boy about our trip to old school Chinese market in Pattaya Thailand! (Yep! It's my bf writing and I'm here correcting - It's 2 man job here in this post #lol ) It only make sense as we both went to experience the place!
100 Year Old Chinese Market / Antique Chinese Market
In Thai called 'Ban Chak Ngaeo (ตลาดจีนชากแง้ว)'
This market is off the beaten path for foreigners and is a rarer sight for most. The market and walking street is starting to open up again since covid restrictions are being lifted and life is coming back to these areas. Let me show you around the back streets of this older and historic place. Come on!
We walked by an old cinema in an older wood building which looks like it was used for the local community for many years. The art they had was interesting as it was older culture mixed with western influences.
Taro sausage (!?)
The first meal we ate for a snack was this called 'Guang jiang (ก๋วงเจียง)'. Imagine a sausage but instead of meat inside, this one packed with taro and wrapped with tofu paper.
It was quite delicious and I was surprised by it. The store was located in a small family owned business on the side street of the market, I believe it's part of the walking street when things all the stores in the neighborhood is open. The lady sold only one type of snack which could be why it was so delicious. It tasted like peanut butter sandwich and the sauce reminded me of plum jelly which brought me back to my childhood of daily peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with homemade plum jam. its a must try!
Chak Ngaeo food Market
Moarrrr food.. We walked around a few blocks and the path leads us to a local food market where we can find various kinds of food for really inexpensive prices. Eat like a local when you travel they say...
We eventually found a classic Japanese treat in the market and we where curious if these locals made them any different by infusing Thai flavors into them or not. They were regular Takoyaki but I still enjoyed them.
I picked up some deep fried pork because as you might know I enjoy this Thai style pork with sticky rice and I can't skip it if I see it's cooked properly. The pork had a good crunch to it with a slight salt and sweet flavor to it. Thai people seem to put sugar in everything!
We of course had to grab a big cup of freshly pressed cane sugar
to wash down these tasty snacks on this extremely hot day.
All and all I thought it was a fun experience and would love to visit again when all the stores are open and I have the opportunity to try other snacks and meals.
esto se ve un tanto extraño debo admitir
jaja pero muy delicioso amigo!
