$6.50's Worth of Lunch!
Just thought I'd post a photo of todays (and probably tomorrow's) lunch:
4 legs, 2 larb, pad see ewe and sticky rice.

Even now, the quality of the food that you can get for a relatively (by western standards) inexpensive price amazes me. All delicious. Love the dipping sauces that you get for fried chicken. I seem to remember ordering food (think it was Coq au vin) from a take-out window in Toronto 15 to 20 years ago for $6.66 (for one dish).

Bought this at my local chicken shack, Bangsue, Bangkok, for 190 THB.

In Hong Kong, it's a bit of a trek out to Kowloon City (depending where you're coming from) but the Thai district (South Wall Road) has a good selection of dirt cheap and authentic food similar to Curt's pic.
The grocery stores have them stacked out the front in plastic bags just he shows. In addition, they had an amazing array of produce - including all of the edible Thai flowers - at very good prices.
I don't think you're in HK anymore, right Charles? Sorry! At least for those here, it's worth the hassle to head out to the old Kowloon City as these are Thai people using proper Thai produce to feed other Thai people (unlike the Chinese-ified Thai you see everywhere - ugh!).
