This is everything I ate today in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Including pitch-black buffalo stomach and a very sad strawberry sandwich!
I started the day with a large Black Coffee from Café Amazon for about $1.75 (you can find them literally anywhere in Thailand).
Then I had brunch at this gorgeous café which is located within the gardens of a luxury spa. I got their signature dish, Mango French Toast ($4.50), and it was honestly the 2nd best french toast I had in my entire life. The one I had in Sri Lanka remains #1. The mango was so super-sweet and together with the cashew nuts and organic honey on top, my brain actually believed I’m eating something healthy.

But the real highlight of the day was trying Larb (Laab, Laap, Larp, ลาบ) for the first time, which is basically ground buffalo meat and intestines, mixed together with spices and herbs. And when I saw the locals digging in with their hands, I just went with it too. It tasted… interesting? Location: Larb Patan, https://goo.gl/maps/XnVD6CsJ9JefZBZ18
And later I discovered these Strawberry Sandwiches, which I didn’t know existed. I was excited like an 8-year-old but when I took my first bite, I realized that they only placed three super-thin slices of strawberry on top of a whipped cream sandwich and that essentially everything nice in life is a lie. So I went back to get a Cookie and called it a day. Location: Chubby Cookies @ Night Food Market in front of https://goo.gl/maps/HptBJMD2dhPb6nbr8
