Street food is the best way to glimpse the heart of a culture. You can sit and observe the mothers, fathers, children, grandparents and all in one piece "of life right in front of you. The smells wafting across the spicy salads, grilled satays, delicious bowls of steaming noodles, chicken barbecue, and skewers of fresh fruit and now a plethora of quenches.
This is an assault on the senses! The colors you see, smell the aroma you shamelessly drooling, the thunderous roar of motorcycles buzzing mix in the chorus of barking dogs and laughing children bring a smile to your face, amidst all the sticky humidity blinding Sun begins to hypnotize the delight of seeing life unfold.
What is striking about this scene and makes you so special is that every street vendor prepares their food fresh just for you while you get the added benefit of seeing entertainment-hey uncooked.

Or sit in silence waiting to be entertained when you dive into the bowl of fire that just manipulated to your liking?
Mai Pen Rai proudly says yes Self-learned the new phrase for any problem. You have a Singha beer on hand to meet the possibility that its bid to take effect on liberal treaty Chillie dry powder. You take your first bite and break a sweat, but again the rush and the euphoria of his bowl of goodness of fire thinking that it sure beats a blot of mustard guck yellow called "Doggie Palace." Already planning how you will re-create the amazing noodle bowl back in your own kitchen to start reflecting on mie where to find the "rice noodles, salad herbs and beautiful presented in the side.
A loud bike is very close to his leg hanging below the table too low for firangs. You react, shaking his leg back and hit his knee on the table-ay! Suddenly, the reality is again but is taking a lot of mental notes of what you are eating and watching over the streets of SE Asia.
