This photo was taken on a random street in Bangkok on our search for Chote Chitr restaurant (reviewed on NPR and NY Times – story on that later), it was very near to the restaurant on the main road. Although the weather was scorching hot and humid, I just couldn’t pass by these hot treats because they invoke a lot of childhood memories for me. I have actually never had taro chips “hot off the fryer” and it was amazing to me that they had this type of set-up outdoors (but then again, they cook anything by the side of the street in Bangkok). I bought two bags for the total of about $1.30USD. The woman tossing the chips was very grumpy and unfriendly but who cares, it was all part of the experience!
Mmmm...hot oil
Fresh taro before being sliced

I love taro chips. Can’t believe how expensive they are here in Hawaii.
The various kinds of Thai lau laus is good too. They wrap it in noni leaves, pandannas leaves, banana leaves,taro leaves.
This is because thai culture is of malayan origin before the immigration of the Chinese into all the south east asian malayan continent.
Then the immigration of people from India who have also migrated to Fiji.
