Every weekend at the Temple they have a Thai food fair. When you get there you need to buy these colorful tokens that you can use to buy food at the shops:
Here is just one of the food stands. This particular place sells Mango and Sticky rice dessert. To the left you can see a whole bunch of umbrellas and tables where you can sit to eat. All along the corners of the courtyard are food stands selling authentic "street" thai food like: Satay, Noodle Soups, Chicken rice dishes, dumplings, coconut drinks, sausages, etc!
Here is a picture of the Satay. They have Beef, Chicken, and Pork hot off the Barbecue! My favorite one was the pork satay!
For my main meal I had a bamboo salad dish with a nissen sausage:
Another booth had fried bananas for sale. I love fried bananas!!!
Now comes one of the best desserts I have ever had! It is champagne mango over a bed of mildly sweet sticky rice drizzled with a little coconut milk. It may sound strange to eat mangos with rice, but you HAVE to try it! It is absolutely fantastic!
After the Thai temple we wandered around Los Angeles trying to figure out what to do. The girls mentioned that they had also wanted to try a chinese foot massage but were scared to go without someone to watch over them (some of the places are kind of seedy). So they decided that I would escort them to a foot massage place.
I have to say they are a great deal! The price is $15.00 for one hour. You get a back massage, a foot soak in tea, and of course the foot massage itself. Meanwhile you get to sit in huge, plush chairs and watch plasma TVs while getting your massage! The price was just really fantastic considering how expensive a massage usually is! I went it not expecting much (c'mon $15.00??) but I was really impressed with what we got!
Apparently it is getting really popular now because there were no less than 5 foot massage places in the same block/plaza that we were at! And all of them were bustling with customers. I heard that some of them might offer "Special" services but apparently not the one we went to :)

We had the tea foot soak in China.
Where are the photos of the girls? Come on!
Yea I do have photos with the girls but they dont want their photos posted on the net so I don't post them. You can come see them if you want.
You mean like happy ending type services? Do they have those for girls?
The food looks great!! I like the token idea.
If they guarantee a happy ending for girls I'll be there forever.
Man, the food looks great! The friend bananas are big in Costa Rica and Nicaragua! And mango...good choice!
