Since there are seniors who take the lead, Johnson will naturally not be polite, and the foodie mode will start!

After coming to Bangkok for a few days, I really haven't tasted authentic Thai food, and I think back to the last time the so-called rice two stars, it's ......

When you come to the food court, you can take a look and find that the cuisine of this country is good at seasoning, and the method is simple. Grilling and frying is the main way to cook meat, otherwise it is eaten raw.

Vegetables are mainly cold salad, and almost never fried and eaten; soup is sour and spicy, and the auxiliary ingredients are mostly pork and beef, and there is very little seafood; fish dishes are rarely eaten happily, and the tricks are a bit strange, and the raw materials are basically freshwater fish such as catfish.

It is basically full of rural atmosphere, and the artistry is not high, as if spices and seasonings are the soul of cooking. According to Tessa Ang, green papaya salad, hot and sour salad, grilled/fried chicken, roast pork neck, and hot and sour soup, of course, sticky rice.

When I came to the small shop recommended by Uncle Bai, the proprietress with goggles was a living signboard, all the ingredients were put into the cauldron, the spices were at hand, and the movements were smooth, very forced.

The corn salad is refreshing to look at, and the main ingredients include corn, grapes and cherry tomatoes, and the ordinary fish sauce is used for seasoning, which is the signature of our store.

Roasted chicken wings is another big sign, I heard that 120 catties are sold every day, and the sizzling sound on the charcoal stove has not stopped. Basically, one copy per person, marinated in advance to taste, grilled on the charcoal stove, smelling tempting, eating hot mouth.

Then there is the ubiquitous classic snack Mu Ping, that is, barbecue pork skewers, five baht a skewer, Johnson tastes a bite and throws it away, which cannot be compared with domestic barbecue.

Although the pork is marinated in coriander root, pepper and garlic in advance, and grilled directly over charcoal, the taste should not be too bad. But the biggest problem is that most roadside stalls are not freshly grilled and sold, completely losing the essence of barbecue.

On the contrary, Ethan's grilled sausage is amazing, especially the pungent and sour smell of the mystery, even Tessa Ang didn't expect Johnson to like this bite, as if a foreigner eats stinky tofu.

Grilled until the casing is golden brown and slightly charred, it looks its best, as if the juicy meat is about to splatter out of the crispy casing. But after one bite, my nose feels like being hit by someone, and I feel sour......

It's so exciting!

Tucked away in front of a large parking lot on Kaosan Road, this street stall is known by many as having the best Tom Yum soup in Bangkok.

According to SC Johnson's understanding, the delicious Tom Yum Gong must be good-looking, and it must be turbid and rich.

Tom Yum Gong in the Great Food Dynasty mainly relies on coconut milk in this step, and the taste is smoother, which is very pleasing. But in fact, authentic Tom Yum Gong relies on shrimp head and shrimp paste to add to the thickness of the soup.

The shrimp must be freshwater shrimp, with a large head and a large foot, and the shrimp are even more high-quality.

When cooking, it is not the whole shrimp into the pot, but the head and body are separated, the head is boiled with the soup and the body is the material, the soup is thick and delicious, and the shrimp meat is the best quality.

It sounds easy, but it takes a chef to have enough experience and skill to get the heat and timing right. Like egg fried rice, it is plain and magical, and it is the most handicraft dish.

Looking at the dirty and messy environment, the size of the river shrimp used is not large, and the appearance is also terrible. The head and body are separated in advance, the head is used as the base of the soup, and the body is stacked on ice cubes. To be honest, if it weren't for its reputation, this kind of store wouldn't give it to me.

Carefully take a sip with a spoon, and suddenly your eyes light up, in addition to the thick and delicious soup, the shrimp meat Q bomb, but also add coconut shoots. The first time I ate this thing, it really lived up to its name.

Finally, I came to Rongtai Rice Noodles Soup, the leader of Bangkok Rice Noodles Soup, which has been open for 60 years, smiling proudly and standing tall.

Today, the two branches are run separately by two sons, one large and one small pestle at the entrance of Sukhumvit 26, which is overcrowded every day.

The dish is actually not special, it is the common rice noodle soup. It's just that you can choose noodles here, you can choose soup base, and the ingredients are more individual. In addition to regular pork offal, fish balls and minced meat, you can also add some fried fish skin.

Order a bowl of fried pho and stir-fry the pho with eggs, small onions, dried radish, and dried shrimp with sweet sauce.

Then place crushed peanuts, chili powder, leeks and bean sprouts on the side, mix all the ingredients well before serving, and squeeze a few drops of lemon juice.

I tasted it with my own mouth, and I was sure that it didn't quite match my aesthetics. The characteristics are just two words: sour and spicy!

If you add a heavy curry, it's no wonder that it can satisfy the increasingly dark taste of the city.

In the end, there are many spices, such as chili, basil, garlic, coriander, turmeric, pepper, lemongrass, coconut and other tropical plants and spices.

Add a variety of sweet and sour tropical fruits, and finally pack into hollowed-out pineapples. The bright colors, unique materials, and novel plating are also great to satisfy people's curiosity.

In SC Johnson's view, true food is to maintain the original flavor to the greatest extent, and the real master must keep the fake from the true, just like relying on seasonings to stew in a mess......

What's the use of a chef!

Leaving Bangkok that night, aiming for Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand, Tessa Aung highly recommends, saying that this is the real fun place. The next day, we went to the elephant camp and experienced the closest encounter with the largest creatures on land.

For elephants here, it is equivalent to the status of pandas in China. But other elephants are more durable, unlike pandas, which can only be watched from a distance and cannot be desecrated.

Elephant Conservation Camp is another option to get in touch with elephants in Chiang Mai, feed them, play with them, bathe in the river, go for a walk in the jungle, and truly feel the harmony between human, nature and animals.

There are no elephant shows, no saddle rides, you get along with the elephants like friends, learn elephant language, communicate with them. The staff are all volunteers, and the funds are all supported by tickets.

Entering the park, between the green mountains and green waters, many elephants live leisurely. Without the relentless thorns of the mahouts and the heavy chains that hold their bodies, the elephants enjoy life carefree and can spend their old age here in peace.

Riding on the elephant and walking in the mountains, the elephant trainer said that it was the first five-year-old female elephant, and she was a little nervous at first, but later found that no matter how muddy the mountain road was, under its feet, it was slow and leisurely, smooth and steady, and she enjoyed it very much......

On the way, he took out a few tender green bamboos and fed them to the little one as a reward, and he rolled it up with his nose and put it in his mouth, fanning it back and forth with its big ears like a fan, and making a crisp cry of joy.

Carrying the crowd through the jungle and across the stream back to the camp, Johnson was delighted and had to give a good reward. Elephants love to eat sugar cane, and they give as much as they eat!

When you're full, take a break. The crowd began to learn simple elephant language, pai is walking, sai is left, and qua is right. Learn to command elephants, learn and use them, and ride one person to take a bath.

It's not so much a conductor as a master. In the middle of the river, use a plant called Shampoo to wash the elephant's hair, face, ears and back, and magically find that it really foams when you rub the bath!

When you are in the middle of the wash, let the elephant lie down so that you can dive into the river and take a dip. According to the elephant trainer, elephants are very intelligent, spiritual, and quite sensitive.

If you pay close attention to the circus performances outside, there will be wounds on the sensitive ears, the top of the head, etc., it is all due to the bullhooks that other unscrupulous mahouts say they have an artifact in their hands to control and harm elephants.

Touching the seemingly thick skin, many people misinterpret it as a hard protective layer, but in fact, they are extremely sensitive and can even feel mosquito bites, let alone such a sharp and thick bullhooks stabbing on the body?
