Mos (def best) Burger

Ever since I got here my brothers have been bragging to me about this burger place called Mos Burger that finally opened up in Thailand at this huge mall called Paragon. I never wanted to try it because I wasn't a big burger fan.
This coaster came with our drinks, Ian took one home because this was so cute! This place definitely made me happy through food. I can't deny that. 
Their fries are the best fries I've had in Thailand. Since it's so difficult to find good fries here in this country. They can definitely compare to Chik-Fil-A fies, and those are my favorite. 
My brother ordered a regular cheese burger, this was pretty good. I know this looks like a McDonalds burger but imagine the Mc D. burger that tastes 1000000 times better. yeah... 
 
I ordered shrimp fillet burger, this was honestly the best burger I've ever had in this life. Every single bite I could feel the little shrimp swimming on my tongue. This was SOOOOOOOOO good!!!!! 
Ian ordered some special cheese burger. This was really really good too. I took a bite and when the red marinara sauce touched my tongue it was like an explosion of taste in my mouth. I'm not over exaggerating. He also said that this was the best burger he's had in his life and he's American born. 

My brother mentioned to me that this place is usually really really packed and people wait around forever for their burgers. Because they make each burger individually, so each of them is fresh and very VERY SPECIAL. OMG, I am now a Mos Burger fan. Another thing, these don't taste like juicy fat burgers, and no, you can't taste the fat or feel fat eating these.

Japanese Hamburgers Kill

My mom makes these killer Japanese Hamburgers. It's weird because when I think of hamburgers I think of burgers and just solid juicy beef patty in between rolls but these are like meat blobs but they aren't juicy like fat American juicy. 
These burgers are sooooo different than anything I've had. We top it with Japanese katsu sauce, they go so well together.  For the skinny people, these are not juicy fat burgers, they are so lights when you eat them you don't even think you're eating burgers (that's what the Japanese diets are for).

Glass Noodle Salad

I was craving something refreshing so I made myself some glass noodle salad.
I kinda like the tanginess + spicy with little pieces of calamari. It's really really easy to make and it's super light so you don't feel like you're eating something heavy. This will totally benefit you if you are trying to get skinny or trying to stay skinny.

There's One Thing My Mom Can Own Me In

Her Gyoza, that's the term we use to call dumplings in Japanese.
Everytime I make these people freaking love them but every time my mom makes them I feel like she owns me every time. Anyway, she puts ginger in hers, you can't really taste them but apparently the ginger enhances the flavor of the stuffing. I absolutely hate ginger so I refuse to put them in when I make them. I'm sure I'm not alone with the whole ginger hating thing.

The BBQ Here

This meal was quite simple. They call this the BBQ here. I guess it's the idea of grilling on the mini grill not like how people normally grill burgers on their grills outdoors in the US. Instead of making burgers on the grill and taking them away when cooked, we sit there by the grill and eat the food right there and add more onto the grill. 
To prepare for this meal is pretty easy, because you cook as you eat. 
There's udon, Enoki mushrooms and 'King Oyster' mushrooms I wrote about in the previous post.
So in the middle is like an island where everything gets cooked dry, and all the vegetables drown in the soup around it. This is quite delicious

Giant Mussels

I found some ginormous mussels at the supermarket today. 
Apparently these are the Swedish mussels. They are the biggest mussels I've ever seen. They normally aren't that big. 
These are baked in butter and topped with sauteed coriander.  This was so intense because I couldn't just bite this thing in half so I had to eat the whole thing. It's like one big bite of mussels. This was so good but since the mussels were so big I couldn't eat more than two, it was just too much.
