Street food here so far has been very, very good. Fresh, yummy and very tasty. I've become a fan of the catfish on a stick, which is a local fish that tastes smoked, and very salty. For 10,000 they reheat it on the BBQ and pass it over on a banana leaf.

There is a line of fruit and meat sellers (pork, chicken, and fish - loads of fish) and people roar up on their scooters and motorbikes and buy bits of this and that, and disappear off home. Take away at it's finest. They also sell fermented vegies (okay, but not great) and lots of condiments.. which look fantastic.

I've looked very deeply at the duck eggs with the half embryo, and although it kinda looks better than I thought, i'm still not going there. Saw chicken heads yesterday, and I hope that they have more meat on them than chicken feet , cause they're a little scarier than the feet.
