"Go off the beaten Thai track with northeastern appetizers such as chicken wings and homemade sausage. It’s miang kham (Betel leaves topped with toasted coconut flakes, diced ginger, lime, lemongrass, red onion, peanuts, dried shrimp, Thai chili, and sweet palm sugar-tamarind paste), rolled and eaten in one big bite, is a great starter." - Didi Paterno
