If you've been anywhere near my Instagram (@Shamera_RDN), then you know I recently returned from a trip to Thailand. There are no words to accurately describe my experience. The people were engaging, the culture was powerful, the landscape was awe-inspiring... BUT THE FOOD?! Oh, Thai food has forever changed my life. Words may not do justice, but pictures always help!

Early Mornings
Thailand is twelve hours ahead of EST, and the flight took 20+ hours. After about two days of jet lag, I was ready to take the breakfast scene by storm. Please know that it did NOT disappoint. (hover over picture for quick description)
The largest veggie omelet I've ever laid eyes on. I'm sure they used at least six eggs... And I devoured every piece!
This mango pancake was the perfect mix between a crepe and traditional pancake. The only way to elevate pancakes... fresh mango!
Thai baked eggs: Baked eggs with Chinese sausage, shitake mushrooms, and minced pork - topped with fresh coriander
Listen! Coconut infused pancakes served with caramelized bananas and candied cashews. SAY LESS!
Late Nights
There was no shortage of adventure! Whether we rented motor bikes, swam with elephants, or hiked to the peaks of Thailand.. the night always ended with food.
This Thai curry pineapple fried rice tasted even better than it looks... seriously
KA NA MHU SAB: Stir fry Thai kale with minced pork. LIFE!
Can you ever go wrong with stir-fry vegetables?!
Already missing our group lunches prepared by locals!
Long Sips
I don't typically drink juice, but I couldn't stay away during the trip. There were so many fruit stands offering fresh squeezed juice (no added sugar, no preservatives... just fruit). How can you say no to ingredients so pure?
Apple - Beet - Carrot - Ginger juice to start the day.
I call this.... Mango In A Bottle. I wish I had a better picture, but I drank it too fast!
The most delicious mojito from Chalong Bay Rum Distillery. All hearts!
Sweet Treats
This section doesn't really need an explanation. I also didn't really know the names of the treats I ate in Thailand. But honestly... when someone says dessert I typically don't ask many questions!
Heres my "sweet potato bite thing"
Check these "green tea Twinkie cakes"
A caramel shake straight from the high heavens! Words cannot describe how this shake transported my WHOLE life!
Thai Cooking Class!
I tasted so much food in Thailand, but the experience would not have been complete without learning to make a few traditional Thai dishes!
Food prep!
...and more prep!
Hot and Sour Prawn Soup
Pad Thai
Fried Spring Rolls
Deep Fried Banana
Sweet Sticky Rice with Mango
The End.
I cant wait to share my next Foodie Adventure with you!
Love,
