For those who are homesick in Chiang Mai, there are plenty of foreign
but original restaurants serving Italian, German, French, Chinese,
Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Indian, Pakistani and Arabic cuisine
to meet certain cravings. In addition, vegetarian restaurants are
also available. For Thai food lovers, there are also a variety of
restaurants serving central, northeastern, and southern Thai cuisine.
Many tourists are also surprised to see street vendors selling a
wide range of food, which are inexpensive. Popular items are barbecued
chicken, pork and squid. To sample them without worries please make
sure they are well cooked.
Northern Thai Food The people of Chiang Mai take pride in their
distinctive cultural identity. The distinction of Lannas charming
beauty is reflected in the lilting dialect, classic architecture,
valued customs and traditions, expressive festivals, exotic handicrafts,
and, of course, unique cuisine. It should be noted that the northern
people traditionally sit on the floor eating food placed on a low
table.
Northern people generally prefer steamed sticky rice to cooked
rice. The rice is accompanied by Kaeng (curry) or Nam Phrik (chili
paste) and vegetables (fresh or boiled). The two most popular local
chili pastes are
Nam Phrik Ong (chili paste with minced pork and tomatoes) and Nam
Phrik Num (green chili paste).
