Thai roadside stalls are too violent! Roasted crocodile 3500 a whole, passers-by lined up to buy it
I've heard that Thailand is an exotic country full of cuisines, but nothing fascinates me more than the food at the roadside stalls. In particular, I heard that there was a roadside stall that was actually selling grilled crocodiles, and the price of a whole one was as high as 3,500 baht, which aroused my great interest.
It was a hot afternoon, and I was strolling through the streets of Bangkok. As I moved my steps, a strong fragrance wafted over, and I was immediately attracted to it. Look up, wow! A fiery crocodile stall comes into view, and the crowd is surging, as if it is the liveliest corner of this street.
I approached the stall and saw a stall owner expertly operating a charcoal fire, next to which fresh crocodiles were piled up, emitting an enticing scent. Not far away, a chubby middle-aged man was biting on crocodile meat, his eyebrows fluttering in admiration, as if this was the most delicious food he had ever eaten in his life.
I couldn't help but ask the stall owner, "How do you sell this crocodile?" The stall owner smiled and replied, "A whole one, 3,500 baht." "I was shocked, this price is too high! But looking at the tantalizing scent and the way passers-by were gearing up, I couldn't resist the urge to try it.
I decided to give it a try, after all, such opportunities don't come out often. I pulled out my wallet and paid 3,500 baht, and the stall owner enthusiastically brought over a whole roasted crocodile with a look of anti-expectation.
I held the grilled crocodile and felt the heat coming from the palm of my hand and an enticing aroma coming to my nose. I took a careful bite, it was tender and juicy, and the meat was so delicious that it seemed to melt in my mouth. It's a taste that can't be stopped.
I couldn't help but glance at the tourists next to me, all of them looking excited and satisfied. Some of them are a family of three, some are lovers, and some are alone. But they were all conquered by this delicacy and enjoyed this rare moment of deliciousness.
After eating the crocodile, I left the stall satisfied, but the wonderful taste remained in my memory. I think this may be the meaning of travel, not only to explore the unknown, but also to taste the beauty of life.
On the following trip, I went to many places in Thailand, tasted various cuisines, and experienced different cultures. I went to the Grand Palace in Bangkok, visited the ornate temples, and felt the deep religious culture of Thailand; I went to the ancient city of Chiang Mai, strolled through the narrow alleys, and felt the rich historical atmosphere; I went to the beach in Phuket, basked in the sun, and felt the warmth and energy of Thailand.
Every trip is a baptism of the soul and an insight into life. And every kind of food is a kind of enjoyment of life and a kind of respect for culture. I am willing to taste every dish and feel every culture with my heart, because these are the most valuable treasures of travel.
Back in reality, I couldn't help but think of the chubby middle-aged man, his satisfied smiling face seemed to be right in front of me. Perhaps, in his eyes, this 3,500 baht grilled crocodile is not just a delicacy, but also an attitude towards life and a reward for himself.
I thought, maybe life is like this roasted crocodile, sometimes it takes more money and more effort to taste that indescribable taste. But as long as you feel it with your heart and taste it with your heart, all the effort is worth it.
