Grass jelly (known as Chao Kuai in Thailand)
Black jelly with a grassy aroma reminiscent of offering a donation and a faint bitterness like being avoided by women. This bitter experience is perfectly complemented by the milky syrup’s sweetness, making it a valuable dessert that teaches the essence of society and revives faith.

A perfect souvenir for Dracula's castle?
I challenged a dish called "Hoi Kreng," a type of red clam with dark red flesh, in Thailand.
Prying open the clam and tasting it with a refreshing sour sauce makes you crave beer. The blood-red color, likely from hemoglobin, and iron-rich appearance seem perfect for those opposed to the Belmont family.

I heard that cola is customized by country.

So, I tried Pepsi-Cola in Thailand, a drink everyone knows. It felt different?
But food taste is influenced by atmosphere, so accurate cola-sommelier skills are needed to remain unaffected by the Thai vibes. Thailand is the best.

The origin of Red Bull, "Krating Daeng."

An Australian was inspired to create Red Bull from this legendary Thai energy drink. Its energetic design with the sun and bull perfectly matches the image. As an energy drink lover, I had to drink it in respect. No carbonation, just a burst of sweet energy.

In the food court of Bangkok’s CentralWorld, I boldly challenged a food item: durian.
Golden and soaked in white sweet syrup, the notorious smell was as expected. But I managed.
The reality of tropical fruit spreading in my mouth like a meteor collision. To be defeated by a fruit, how frustrating. I need training, tears.

There once existed a fast-food place in Bangkok’s Terminal 21 called "Kono Pizza."

A genius idea of wrapping piping hot cheese pizza in a crispy cone for one-handed enjoyment. But it was too hot when freshly baked. Holding the cone with bare hands was impossible, so it had to be eaten from the box!

It was a fast food ahead of its time, much like Sega.

If you can perform as well in a new environment, you might have the same potential as Ippudo
I discovered Ippudo operating grandly in Bangkok's Terminal 21. Charge! Neighbor’s dinner!
Let's see if they can show their skill abroad, where familiar ingredients might not be available. Bite. Hmm? It tastes like Ippudo!
If they can produce the same taste in Thailand, they’re truly skilled!

Affordable and quality sweets in areas with children
Exploring the Khlong Toei slum in Bangkok, I came across a small pancake sweet. The taste hidden in its small size would surprise even the Black Tri-Stars, stepping on our imaginations.
Slum areas tend to have many children, and they must have brought joy to many kids.

The dish you must try in Thailand, or you’ll be called a novice, is Tom Yum Goong. Its rich spiciness and complex sourness remind you of the umami from Japanese glutamate. It’s difficult to explain but might be worthy of being one of the world's top three soups. However, I haven't experienced enough to compare, sadly.

Even if you lead a sweet life, adding just one drop of spiciness makes it dramatic.

Thai spring rolls "Poh Pia Tod" represent a sweet and spicy life. Soaked in a rich sauce, they become profound, experiencing both sweetness and spiciness, and remain crisp!

Let's live like spring rolls.
