Seng!
Simply use this word "Seng" to express your irritated mood from a disappointment. For example, you've spent good 30 minutes queuing for your afternoon tea break.. and then when it's your turn, the bloody scone (which were the reason why you queued at the first place) was sold out! That's when you say Seng Woi!!

Kanom Pang Wan, sweet bread
Look closely under the pink ice you'll find sliced breads that will later absorb the syrup very well. Great snacks on a hot day.
This one is quite special though as any other vendor will only roughly crush the ice and top with syrup, followed by sweet condensed milk. This one blended the ice with syrup, packed it in this shape..

Kuay Chap Nam Sai
There're 2 kinds of Kuay Chap, nam sai is this one with clear soup. The other Nam Kon is in brown soup and that's nice too..
Hoy Tod Pang Krob, crispy oyster pancake
Inside is lots of oysters.. in the back is another type of fried noodle but they made it crispy here so both look the same. This looks close to the original Hoy Tod at least.. Hoy is shell by the way.

Food is really good here. Don't let the shop location bother you.. this is Bangkok!!

Don't take him wrong either :) He was serious about his job and a seriously good cook!!

Kuay Teaw Lord, Chinese style flat noodle
Great for mid-day or late-night snacks as this is quite light.
The noodle is mixed with the brown, Chinese light sauce, bean sprouts, tofu, mushrooms, sometimes intestines (but I swear you can't tell it's an intestine because in the sauce everything tastes the same.. no smell).. and lots of crispy, chopped garlic
The orange bits on the flat noodle are actually dried shrimp.

Noodles are kept in little baskets.. thin noodle is also an option

My dish.. the gold pot has all the stuff

Another shop selling the same thing

Little baskets and stuff in the bowl to put on your noodle

These are in China Town (Yaowarat) by the way. The dish costed me about 30-40 Baht which was quite expensive.. anywhere else should be 20-30 Baht.

Ponlamai, fruits
From the top, clockwise.. Sap-pa-rot (pineapple), Tang Mo (watermelon), Ka-noon (jack fruit), Chom Poo (rose apple), Som O (pomelo), and then Ma-nao, lime, to put on Ma-la-kor (papaya) or Sap-pa-rot.

Ma Fuang, star fruit

Som O, pomelo -- Thais look at this as a kind of orange (Som)

Kaew Mang-korn, dragon fruit

Farang, guava..
Thais also call caucasian foreigners as Farang as well, by the way:)
