Meanwhile in plastic Farangland

The forklift barbeque

Nothing natural about this, even the meat has been processed..

Tomyam Het, enjoyed as a side dish at a larger restaurant along Phethabun's moat.

I looked at the menu and decided this would be a bit too expensive for me... so no pictures of the food... only the menu and the ambiance... (on Samui)

No one was eating.... but this is the view... OK for those with money to spare!

Yummy menu....easy to cook, here you pay all those things maybe 60-70 Euro, but have to cook by yourself. Ok, once in a while, would be all right, imported beef and seafood direct to you in Samui, plus great view...wow. ENVY JING JING KHA.

[Kathy2014]

I seldom shot food photos...dont know why, might be, it's not easy to make food delicious....

Try to serve delicious things on this topic kha. Let's have a seat at Hua Hin and enjoy Capuccino with me. This is a small street leads to the beach in town. Or would you prefer Tea...from south thailand, called Cha Chak....this photo was shotted in Bkk...Central Pinklao Dept. Coffee or tea, or some delicious cakes....( Cake from Hua Hin , Villa Dept.)...luch is coming up...

[Kathy2014]

I'm hungry now, let's go for lunch. Spicy Fish Soup in Hua Hin, Seafood, Somtham ( Papaya Salad ) with sticky rice and spicy chicken,

[Kathy2014]

Are u guys full already ? In Thailand we usually said....clean your mouth with thai dessert after main course... Khanom Thai in banana leaves...mostly with sticky rice cooked with coconut milk, palm sugar, some sesam or grilled banana, ....my favarite...all , time to be lazy or reading book or taking a nap ha ha ha....waiting for the next menu...

In many of the commercial food photo's one see's in magazines & other print media

the food isn't real...it's plastic. A Japanese company makes this stuff and it's far

more expensive than the real food dish! Back in 95 I shot a Walls Ice Cream advert

on Langkawi...the people were real, it was awfully hot, the ice cream cones were

real but the ice cream inside the cones was fake. The vapour coming off the cones

ws created with dry ice embedded in the fake ice cream. Sure looked yummy but

the goop was in all reality...lethal if eaten! An Australian lady was hired to make

the stuff...she holds the patent on it....makes loads of $$$.

Why wasn't the real stuff used? It would have melted in less than 30 seconds.

For food shots...real food has to be covered in oil to make it "look" appetising

and that dry ice is buried in there somewhere where the camera cannot see it

to give that look of steam rising up from the grub.

There's more tricks to the job but you'd loose your appetite if I mentioned em.

[Guest]

sunshine: please continue. That's really interesting. I don't mind if I would loose my appetite (and few pounds on the process.)

^ It's like the Malaysian Tourist TV commercial where the show two people sitting in front of a phony Raffleasia... which I am pretty sure is plastic... if you ever get to see one, you are never allowed to get that close!

Anyway moving on...

Here we have some Russian food being sold on Maenam's Samui's Walking Street...

This lady looked like she did not like it ....

^ the eyes on that kid in photo above looking a bit apprehensive

Funny, I have several good Russian neighbours, but not had much in the way of their food... they don't want Russian food!

The most remarkable looking cup of coffee I have seen in Thailand thus far. Almost did not want to drink it! Taken with my iPhone so pardon the quality.

Don't normally like pointing a camera at people but this one I couldn't resist

Don't know how many would consider this lot as food.

Cleaning the catch.

That's right rats.
