Trat is a food town. Lucky me. Without any real Thailand agenda, I chose to wander South from Chanthaburi to Trat, about two hours away. Most travelers use this as a jumpoff point for Ko Chang, a party island in the Eastern Gulf of Thailand. Me, I'm staying put in Trat. This is a cool town with new food. This lovely treat is a small rice pancake cooked into a chip. It is filled with coconut cream that is cooked to almost a merengue consistency and then topped with a little savory something. Its crucnhy and sweet and fruity with just a touch of slat as well. New favorite snack!!
Fruit? How about a big bag of cut pineapple for less than a buck? And its perfect, juicy and wonderful. None of that "been sailing on a ship" green crap.
This was my stall du jour. Point at the main ingredients and go sit on a rickety plastic stool while the magic happens.
Fried catfish with fiery red curry and sweet melon on the side. The peanut sauce was left over from some satay appetizers. Yeah Baby!!
