Lunchtime rolled around as it tends to and, although I wasn't particularly hungry, I felt like some snacky type things. I remembered seeing a snack platter on the local "Thai" restaurant's menu, so ordered some up.
Looks not bad, right? Here is the restaurant's description (translated by my cell phone app.)
What arrived was this.
It was awful. One of the worst things to ever pass my lips. The curry sausage must have been cooked a week ago, was rock hard, burnt and tasted of nothing but dirty oil, which clearly hadn't been changed since Thailand was called Siam. I couldn't tell the fish cakes and the shrimp cakes apart. They were cooked in the same oil. The spring rolls were a disgrace to Thai food. If they served that in a Bangkok riverside night market they would be thrown into the river. The vendors, not the food. The customers have more respect for the fish!
