Bangkok Part 3

So after the chaos of Songkran, we got back to the main purpose of the trip to Asia.....eating.  Day 2 of Bangkok we started with a food tour.  It wasn't private and it wasn't 9 hours, but it a way to try new and different things in the short period of time we were there.

First stop was this eatery where we would enjoy one of the fine roasted animals hanging in the window on the left.
 Sorry for the blurry picture, but the camera did not appreciate going from the cold train to the steamy 95 degree heat quickly.  This was a simple duck and rice, much like Hong Kong and very delicious.
We walked by another temple so I took a few pictures.  We did not eat anything in this picture.
 Next stop was a Muslim restaurant ran by Indian-Thai decedents.  We had a curry-chicken soup, yellow pancake filled with curry and meat, and pickled veggies.
 We stopped on the street and had Thai "macaroons".  I don't know if she knew what a macaroon was, but I would call it more of a sticky rice pancake.  These were yummy and we would had bought more if we had seen them on another street (and we looked) the rest of the time we were there.
 The next stop was for a different type of beef noodle soup.  The dish also had some awesome condiments that spiced up this meal.
 And some sort of tea with a preserved onion in the drink.  It was also delicious.
 I completely forget what these were called, but it was kind of like a sticky rice meatball with a hot pepper stuffed inside.
 A plate of Thai green chicken curry.
 And a papaya salad with crispy catfish.
 After this impressive meal we took a break at the pool to get out of the heat then headed out to dinner.  A couple of Thai teas with a loaded papaya salad.  It had Thai sausage, pork rinds, tomatoes, peanuts, and papaya, covered with fishsauce.
 And an order of Thai-fried chicken.  I don't know how to describe the flavor, but it seemed like it was soaked in fish sauce before breaded and dusted with awesome sauce at the end.
