The friends love sending me to local eateries and restaurants that have no English menu. I swear they get a kick out of it. And each trip, someone would highly recommend me a porridge stall. What is with the friends and jok?!
For supper after The Smashing Pumpkins show, we went to this little street round the corner from Union Hall. It's a short 10-minute walk. It's called 'Pae Meng' แป๊ะเม้ง (อร่อยรอบดึก). No English menu. Luckily I read Thai fine, and by now, my reading speed is extremely acceptable. Faster than I read Chinese anyway. There was a menu with photos, but Thai names and descriptions. I passed that to the husband. He could simply point.
We didn't bother to order too complicated items or seafood. It was too late lah. We didn't want to stuff ourselves at midnight only to stay awake from indigestion. Had refreshing cold beer because it came with ice cubes. Bahahahah. Looking at the roaches in the kitchen, we idly wondered if those ice cubes were sanitary. LOL
We also didn't bother with jok to accompany the dishes. Shared a small bowl of rice. Had stir-fried cabbage, some weird stir-fried beef with spices and too much sour peppers, and a fried mackerel. That cabbage was delicious! We loved the sauces that came along with the fish.
