In the discharge of my current in Khon Kaen, Thailand, I had the opportunity to visit one of my favorite restaurants.
I wanted to take the mother of my friend for dinner, and was told lunch would be a better idea. No one would argue, and I agree.
A woman asked me where I wanted to take her mother for lunch, and the choice was simple. I said after that was to Khon Kaen a few months ago, my daughter that I wanted to go to a restaurant Bontonmairimnam.
This is a small restaurant is located outside the city limits, and the right on the shore of the river. It is cool and peaceful and has no small eating areas and in structures resembling a wooden booth personnel.
And there is usually a cool breeze flowing through this open-air restaurant, and today is no exception. After a request a couple of coca, a little water, and cold beer, it is time to study the list.
Fortunately for me, and the list in Thai and English. This is unusual for the region and especially for the restaurant so far from the English-speaking tourists, few visit Khon Kaen.
After studying the list, and made all the decisions. We put on servers very attentive to the young lady, and Chet, chatting as we waited for lunch we have.
Within 5 minutes, and began to supply food to arrive. Arrived boiled eggs, spicy papaya salad, and the authority of shellfish, squid, vegetables and steamed rice. I had to wait for several minutes for my fried.
Soon, I got shrimp and fried onion rings and spring rolls. I had already started with the ladies ordered food because everything is shared.
Set of eight different plates, and praise with rice on the plate to me, the food just kept coming.
Conversation continued to flow and drinks and ate and ate and ate. The pace is slow, and the breeze of the wind chime, and the river flowing behind me.
Was continuing to eat, time to request another beer and one of the girls hovering near our table. She got in a moment, and poured me another cold.
After dinner, the good things available, but not one of us could eat another piece. Vegetables to seafood, salads and a friend and shrimp, and everything was delicious.
And ordered a final bottle of water to wash it all, and continued the conversation more relaxed.
The time has come to return to the hotel, so I called Bill and I have not been here before, not surprised. A total of 860 baht or about U.S. $ 27 for 8 dishes, beer 2, and two large coca and a bottle of water. Adding a dash of 40 baht and we had a party for under $ 30.
