Thanks for reading...Ketel One is a great vodka to use. I live in Japan where they don't drink much Vodka, so my local liquor store doesn't have much of a selection. But keep mixing nonetheless.

In these days of globalization and internet and communication and such I lounge for sharing a meal and some drinks with my remote friends. The real thing. Jon, Adrian, Brett, others, this moment will come. We have to make it happen. And more than one of them ...
In the meantime thanks for the praises, I am unworthy of it. I am but a media/recorder of the greatness of the moment, the food, the drinks and the people in presence.

Those pictures are absolutely filthy... in the best possible way, of course!

The genius of a Frenchman (albeit a cultured one) at a thanksgiving dinner in Copenhagen aside, a great piece.
Mr De Grave has a flair for this kind of writing, just the right amount of irreverance, which when paired with his photographs makes me feel decidedly hungry and longing to share a meal with him.
More of this please!

Sihuan Market just south of E. Xinjiekou St. and off of Sihuan Hutong. <small>View The Trip in a larger map</small>

I'm having a difficult time locating the Sihuan Market on Google Maps. I'm interested in visiting after reading your review. Could you perhaps provide some assistance?

* Mix yeast, 1/2 cup of flour with 1/2 cup of water, mix well and let sit until bubbly (30 minutes).
* In a separate bowl combine the rest of the flour, jalapeños and salt
* Mix wet & dry ingredients, adding the honey & oil, and kneading together (by hand or machine) for five minutes until smooth but still a bit sticky.
* Let rise for one hour.

Thanks. I can't answer as I don't have Anthony Bourdain's Travel Budget to try all of the $7 tourist traps, though I imagine, despite my inner voice telling me it's just a kind of natural sea cookie, it would taste like the rest of the deep-fried exoticisms: salty oil. True, the consistency of the silkworms was like eating a shrimp with its full armor, but the payoff was much less exciting, though quite tasty. Apparently the snakeskin is like eating chewy, tasteless rubber.

really can't imagine gnawing on a starfish... is the endoskeleton perhaps piped full of a fruity conserve? silkworms wouldn't be a problem. imagine them being like a creamy shrimp!

wonderful food photography, as always.

Word Nathalie...you know where the goodness lies. I have only eaten on the street, though I am sure there are great restaurants as well...I like the out of doors, the alleys and the broke down wooden stools you get to sit on while slurping down the best under-a-dollar food in the world

Re: (The Best) Bloody Mary (Ever)

Reading this was torture yesterday - i hadn't eaten anything for 24hrs.

Reading this was torture today - i haven't had a drink in 7 days.

Stop torturing me.

though personally not a fan of baby eggplant, thai street food is excellent. i used to stay around the patpong area, just for the excellent food options. also, silom soi 20 or was it 21?, just a 15 minute stroll south of patpong, has some really good food. there's a little family run restaurant in that alley, siam house, frequented mostly by locals. ridiculously cheap, very good and super nice people.

just reading your article made me miss bangkok so much. i can't wait to go back.

I didn’t realise it was possible to capture smell visually, but I think you might just have nailed it.

Manny Santiago — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 00:10:35 -0000

Sofia, you sound like you know what the shiso you're talking about...Arugula...I used to make a salad to knock your socks off...anything to recommend?

Re: Shiso Ceviche

Manny Santiago — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 00:10:10 -0000

It is good. Different than you would think though. Definitely an interesting take on "traditional" sashimi or ceviche. Best of both worlds. Thanks, and keep on grilling, growing and grinding.

Re: Shiso Ceviche

Sofia M. Penabaz — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 00:08:02 -0000

I agree. It is amazing what the Japanese do with Shiso. They use the leaf in a variety of dishes, ranging from savory to sweet to sour. It is very versatile and quite tasty.

Recently, I've been thinking that there needs to be more Arugula around here, though.
