After having fun sightseeing, it's time to move on to eat. We aren't really eating because it's lunchtime; we're literally just going to eat because we finished looking around. Did hobbits eat nine meals a day...? My friends keep eating almost at that level. I haven't even digested what I ate for breakfast yet, but I don't know what's up with their stomachs—they just keep eating. As always, I don't have a choice in the matter, so off we go to eat.
The pronunciation my Thai friend wrote down for me was "Kwy teyw reua." It didn't show up on Google like that, so I asked them to send me the Thai name via messenger, and the English name I found is Ko Au Boat Restaurant.This isn't a night market. It's a very famous noodle shop in this area.When they said noodles, I thought it would be Pad Thai. But it's a noodle dish with a pork broth base. (For the record, I hate pork broth.) The name is Kuay Teow Reua.They ordered some extra dim sum just in case I couldn't eat the noodles well. I really want to stuff my face and enjoy it too, but it just doesn't suit my taste.These are dried pork rinds that taste great when you put them in the Kuay Teow Reua.This is what it looks like when you add them in. I actually like these dried pork rinds better than the noodles. It kind of feels like eating cereal?The reason it's a boat restaurant.The funny thing is that only the owner sits and works in the boat. It gives off a bit of a queen vibe.
Because I have a small appetite and had already snacked so much in the morning, I couldn't eat properly, but this is a famous restaurant in Kanchanaburi. Thanks to coming here, I think I learned a little more about what kind of food Thai people like. The only problem is that it involves eating noodles in a pork broth, which I don't really care for. Busan (a city in Korea) is famous for its pork soup, so people from that area could probably come here and eat it without any issues. I'm more of a beef or chicken broth person myself...
