Travel Pro Eats #5: Kow Mooooooo! In Chiang Mai Thailand (5 food photos)
Hey there my Steemit friends. Today we eat Kow Moooooooo! Recently in Chiang Mai Thailand I enjoyed this popular dish. In Thai kow means pig and moo means leg. That would certainly confuse Old McDonald! So Kow Moo is stewed pork leg. As much as I love this dish I equally like to say Kow MOOOOOO! That's my Thai accent in writing. They tend to draw out certain words and cut other words short. It's a very sing songy language. I can enjoy listening to it all day and not have a clue what they're saying.
I've seen stands like this all throughout the country. This is some classic Thai street dinner food. It always tends to draw a crowed. You can see by the quantity of stewed pork that they do some business, and they'll likely sell out each night. I had to wait a few minutes in line to get my portion.
What they do is boil a bunch of pork legs with some sort of brown sugar or molasses and soy sauce as you can taste it; unless those Thai piggies are just so darn sweet. Then they offer a boiled egg on the side for an extra 30 cents, a spicy vinegary chili sauce and a second bag of the stewed pork drippings, some bitter greens which I don't really like and a side of rice.
Chiang Mai is known for having the best deals in any major populated area in Thailand and to no surprise they really hook you up with some sticky piggy goodness. Look at that portion for 50 Thia Baht or about $1.50 US! Imagine getting a meal like that in the western world for just some pocket change. This is why Thailand is such a great pay less get more country.
I really chowed down that night. This is one of my favorite Thai dishes I've been enjoying since my first visit to Thailand about 15 years ago at the ripe old age of 20. Thailand is a very special country and certainly a favorite of mine. Between the food, weather, people, beaches, culture, low crime, quality service, good infrastructure and all at incredibly affordable prices; Thailand keeps bringing me back time and time again. So if you ever visit Thailand enjoy your Kow Mooooooo! Until next time. -Dan "World Travel Pro!"

와우! 아주 실감나는 포스팅이네! 좋아좋아!
Wow that's quite the food stand with one huge pot of Kow Moooo , Pork Legs cooking up there ! Looks delicious , although with that name I was expecting Cow or beef meat LOL !! 😂 I certainly see what you mean by "pay less get more country !!" Wow ! and it looks so delicous ! I love pork slow cooked in a onion soup or sauce like this , it comes out so tender , i usually use the slow cooker if im im up to it when i get home from work in the morning ! thanks for sharing ! i have made chicken cokked in vinegar / brown sugar / soya sauce ! its quite similar and very tasth too !! 😋😋😋👍👍👍
Chicken in a similar way in the crock pot, sounds like coming steemit post. So glad I'm able to bring you a different perspective on how things are done in other parts of the world. To pay 200 a night for hotel, you really have to rich, or work 51 weeks a year to have your one week vacation. Certainly not what I signed up for. Thanks for the up and resteem like always!
Your so right ! Haha and why the majority of us cant ever afford to go on holidays , its more "A Staycation " every year for me , or I might go camping and fishing for free ! LOL!! 😂😂😂
upped and resteemed for my awesome foodie followers @momskitchen !😋😋😋👍👍👍💕
delicious food, thai food are one of my favorites!
Mine too. Such healthy and fresh ingredients. Well, maybe not a pile of pork but in general.
That portion is so big and its only 1.50$. Its like 0.2 SBD LOL
I know, just incredible. You should see what you can get at the market for a little at 15 cents!
My great friend and his excellent sense on taste ;)) Hello, Hello . Splendid place I think that the smell of cooking you could feel it from a long distance ;)) Awesome post :)
Thanks so much. How is Pananama? How are you liking your new home? I'm now back in Ecuador. Looking forward to hanging out at this river front hotel in Guyaquil and just sitting out the holidays for the most part and catching up on my huge back log of steemit posts and getting ready for Peru.
