Eating (thus far) in Chiang Mai

Having arrived at mid day yesterday, we lunched at a neighborhood noodle stand. Nothing spectacular, but perfectly acceptable, and only 4 dollars for noodles and drinks for all.

Dinner was very good. We dined at Heuan Phen, known for its Northern Thai food. No coconut milk, lots of pork, and a particularly tasty papaya salad. The jackfruit salad was just weird--we were expecting something fruit like, sharp and bright tasting, but instead it was a luke warm pate-like pile of glop. The flavor wasn't bad, but texture wise it was reminescent of jarred baby food.

Breakfast was at a local stand around the corner. The mango pancakes were quite tasty.

I'll let Declan tell you about lunch later.
