One of the hardest things when trying to stay fit here in Thailand is avoiding rice. Rice is served at every meal and in my time here i have actually grown to love the stuff! Problem is, my body doesn't. Often times when eating out, which most of us do most of the time here, the meals comes with rice. I try to limit my intake of carbohydrates to after I've worked out, which means that I can only eat rice once or maybe twice a day. One of those meals that you can find anywhere and which really helps you out in times of hunger is Pad Pak Ruam Mit! Normally just consisting of a selection of vegetables stir fried with - among others - oyster sauce, it lacks protein. To counter this i ask to get it witch chicken ("saai gai") and most importantly, without rice ("mai saai khao"). I often order this dish for lunch, and as every stall offers this dish with a different selection of vegetables, i haven't grown tired of it yet!

This dish is on offer literally everywhere, where they offer made to order dishes. You will be able to recognize these stalls, by the all important tool the wok, and also these stalls tend to be a little bigger and have more ingredients on display - even sometimes several gas hubs.
