I was crazy over this stuff in Krabi and was dissapointed that I could not find it in Bangkok. But I was certainly ecstatic to find it being sold in Chiang Mai from a pushcart street vendor, who had situtated himself opposite the Chiang Mai Plaza Hotel where I was staying one day.
Some street vendors call it "Roti" and some others call it "Rotee". But regardless what they call it, it is basically a freshly cooked thin pancake made from a mixture of wheat and rice flour which is used to wrap ingredients such as chopped bananas, and/or topped with other ingredients like chocolate sauce. A simple, but sinfully delicious delight.
My personal favourite is the Banana with Chocolate Sauce Roti.

Strangely, I could not find them in the Night Bazaar though.

Do not let its plain outer facade fool you. Gia Tong Heng is the oldest and most established Chinese restaurant in Chiang Mai, and for a good reason too - it's food is delicious and affordable.
The restaurant is split into 2 sections, with the more upmarket ambience and comfortably air-conditioned area situated deep within from the front entrance shown.
All the classic Chinese dishes are available and even Thai favourites such as Tom Yam Seafood Soup.
Prices are of course somewhat more expensive than street fares, but still very reasonable. A very good meal can be had for about 400 baht per person.
Both the hot and cold hor'dourves, which include a selection of their most popular appetizers makes a good prelude to a delicious meal.

This beautiful restaurant took us ages to find as it was tucked away behind the camera shop on Chaiyapoom Road, near the giant cheesburger and the big Amora Hotel. The staff were superfriendly (and pretty), they even have biting puppies and a bird-cage. Home was set in an old Thai teak house surrounded by a beautiful garden. The music was perfect and relaxing and we ate nearly every meal there. It appears to be the current in-place for travellers to hang out, but there were plenty of locals and expats dining at each of our visits.
Everything was great here, they have plenty of vegetarian and Northern Thai food. I especially liked the red-curries but my husband seemed happier with Singha beer and chicken sandwiches! We ate breakfast here, took coffee in the afternoons, and filled our bellies at night. Home wasn't even near to our guesthouse but it was the best place we found in six weeks in Chiang Mai.

When you visit the many street stalls in Chiang Mai, you may find many of the stalls dedicated to selling what looks like a heap of deep fried intestines of some sort.
I was initially puzzled by what they were, but after checking with my tour guide, I found out that they are called "Kaeb Moo", or crispy pork rind. It is often served as an appetizer and eatern with sticky rice.
The health concious may want to give this a miss, as Kaeb Moo is actually made from either pork skin or triple pork, fried with salt, clove, garlic, and crushed whole coriander stalks. As you may have guessed, it is not exactly a healthy snack.
But if you can get passed that, it is actually quite delicious. Most stall holders will also be more than happy to give you a taste sample. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveAddress: Street Stalls

As the hot springs in Chiang Mai has waters that can go up to 90C, boiling eggs and then eating them is a very popular activity among its visitors.
The eggs are sold at the ticket office and so you do not need to buy them beforehand. They are rather cheap too at 20 baht for 5 chicken eggs, or a lot of quails eggs.
To cook the eggs, basically to just hang the baskets on the hooks that are lined along the pool of hot spring water and then wait. Unless you do not mind a "messy' finish, I recommend cooking the eggs for a full 8 minutes for well-done eggs.
The eggs which are cooked in hot springs somehow just taste better. They look somewhat different too, as the whites are more translucent than opaque. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveDirections: San Khampaeng

Prem Restaurant is situated within the Vhiang Ping Cultural Market, at part of the night bazaar known as "The Peak" (named so due to the urban rock climbing facilities offered here).
Maybe it was due to the low season (month of May), but this area, unlike the rest of the night bazaar, was uncharacteristically uncrowded, which was why we decided to eat here in the first place.
As a little bonus, there the restaurant was near a small stage in which small cultural performances were given nightly. The performance ranges from traditional dance segments to stage shows by either drag queens (or transexuals, I really cannot tell... But it was interesting enough to make my friend and I watch the Simon Caberet the next evening).
What Prem Restaurant offers is fresh seafood prepared in any manner you like. My buddy, Woon, and I chose to have our fish and prawns served barbequed with garlic and they were fantastic! Unlike other similar restaurants I had been to in Thailand, the fish was not wrapped in foil during the barbeque process and thus, there was that extra smokey taste which I really like.
On drawback is that given it's location and somewhat lack of ambience, it is considered rather expensive at about 500 baht (>US$12) per person. Leave a Comment Theme: SeafoodPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageDirections: Located within The Peak

The Whole Earth Restaurant presents one of the most unique and elegant dining experience in Chiang Mai. They specialize in vegetarian dishes, although traditional Thai and international dishes are served as well. There is an Indian influence to most of the dishes.
The restaurant itself is divided into inner section which is air-conditioned, and a terrace section. Surrounding the restaurant is a very well landscaped and manicured garden, which lends the whole establishment a aura of tranquility. But one quirk of the restaurant is that you must remove your shoes before entering the restaurant.
Due to the more upmarket atmosphere, do note that this is a more expensive place to dine though with a full meal costing upwards of 400 baht per person. Quite a bit more if you include wine.
The fancy bean curd with crabmeat is interesting. Leave a Comment Theme: Vegan/VegetarianPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: 88 Sridonchai RoadPhone: +66 53 282 463,Directions: Near Chiang Mai Plaza HotelOther Contact: Fax: +66 53 819 106

The way to enjoy meal and Chiang Mai culture, when you visit there, a must for you is find a chance to have Khantoke dinner. I had a great time at Chiangmai Cultural Center. I made reservation by phone and they arranged me from my hotel to there and back. I had Khantoke dinner, the way they have meal, all food on wood tray, sit one the floor, inside decore with old thai style and beside that enjoy Lanna dance show and some guests be invited to join them. After meal there is a hill tribe show outside. Ok finish of the great time there... You should try..

Chiang Mai is the best place to sample northern cuisine. The most distinct style is known as khan toke. A Khan Toke meal consists of several small dishes. A Khan Toke dinner is traditionally served on a small round table. This one is located inside the Chiang Ping Cultural Market, tourist oriented, they put on a show of traditional dancing along with dinner. Show is free of charge, even you don't order food, you are also welcomed to stand or sit nearby to enjoy the show.

Northeastern Thai food is generally of the simple, spicy, peasant variety enjoyed by the inhabitants of this relatively poor region. The most famous dishes include "Somtam" --papaya salad with fish sauce, garlic, chilli peppers, peanuts and puu na field crab added to taste. Leave a Comment
