    In Luang Prabang, Laos I got a large, thick slab of bacon or pork belly grilled over embers. Not sure if it had sauce cooked in or not but that was the tastiest thing I had my whole trip.
    Did you get to see the Khone Phapheng Falls?

    When I worked in Thailand, many moons ago, we would call down to the restaurant near our apartment and order a suckling pig which they would roast on charcoal out in the street.

    LOL no not every day but my wife just bought a new grill yesterday so she can make some. So I do eat it regularly. Here's a recipe for Filipo street food that's pretty much the national dish. Pork Adobo.

    Cut about 1 kg of fatty pork (I use boneless country ribs or pork belly) into bite size pieces.
    Marinate overnight with 1 cup soy sauce, 1 cup vinegar, 3 whole cloves of garlic, 3 slices of ginger and 1 or 2 chili peppers.

    Next day to cook place all that in a pot, bring to a boil, cover and let simmer 30 - 40 minutes. Remove pork from pot, remove solids and discard. Add 1/3 cup of brown sugar. Boil till reduced by half. Take pork and brown with a little oil in a hot skillet or wok. Add browned pork back into sauce and coat pork.

    Add half a dozen pieces of pork to a bed of jasmine rice and drizzle a couple tbsp of sauce over the rice (a little sauce goes a long way.). It's usually served with string beans as a vegetable side. Enjoy!

    Do they have anything like Som Tam in the Philippines? Thai women absolutely love it, but many foreigners just can't handle the heat. I am convinced that there is a masochistic element to eating it as the way it is made especially in Isarn is volcanic in hotness. They also like to add tiny little black crabs to the mortar and pestle, never really understood what purpose they serve to be honest. Some people also add water beetles, that is a taste too far for me.

    No they don't. They have Achara which is a green papaya relish that is outstanding with lechon or grilled bangus (milkfish) but it's more sweet and crunchy.

    Surprisingly for a tropical nation Filipino's are not that much into spicy hot food. The first time I took Mrs. Hoople out for Buffalo wings we only had the standard hot sauce ones and she thought they were too hot. A Thai would have thought them tepid at best. I've tried authentic Thai basil chicken and I couldn't handle it. I ate about a quarter of the serving and had to drink a pint of milk.

    Do Thai's have something similar to Kare-Kare? This is my all time favorite Filipino food...not likely to sold as street food. I've only had it made with Ox-Tails.

    Yeh they do, sort of anyway. Not a great fan of oxtails to be honest just can't forget their proximity to a buffalo's arse. I think it's more common in the Muslim south.

    I am 99% sure you are referring to moo saam sunh. Good stuff!
