IMPORTFOOD NEW RECIPE UPDATE

IMPORTFOOD NEW RECIPE UPDATE

Hello again and thanks for visiting ImportFood.com. Today we feature several Thai Street Vendor videos, as the government is rapidly banning street vendors all we can is it was fun while it lasted and we have plenty of old videos depicting the way of life.  

We also have new stock of Mama Kee Mao, take a look at Red Cargo Rice, the Thai Butcher Knife, and more.  Thanks for visiting.


Street Vendor Videos

Thai Street Vendor Ban. As the Thai government moves quickly to ban street vendors, at least we documented the fun while it lasted. Our Street Vendor Video Series goes back 7 years and has 180 street vendor videos.

More vitamins, and more enzymes which make you feel younger. Enjoy the highest quality Thai mungbeans. See how to make these beans turn into fresh sprouts on your countertop.

Red Cargo Rice

Thai ​Red Cargo Rice

We've been selling a lot of red cargo rice lately.  Commonly served in both Thai and Vietnamese meals. Along with the recent explosion of Thai restaurants focusing on Street Vendor style food, restaurants often serve steamed rice that has 10-20% red cargo mixed in, to give it a rustic "wild rice" appearance.

Mama Kee Mao

New Shipment: Mama Kee Mao, Fresh Stock

Mama makes a wide variety of popular instant noodles such as namtok and classic tom yum shrimp. 

Mama kee mao is unique because you eat it 'haeng' (dry, not as a soup). The noodles are thicker than traditional Mama noodles, and wavy.

Our best selling Mama noodles and this is brand new stock.

Palad Kik

Palad Kik: Lucky Charm of Thai Vendors

Look around a Thai street vendor's cart, and you're likely to see a one of these. The palad kik is believed to help bring in more sales, more customers, and entice others to find you attractive. 

Non-Thais might think the small wood carving is a type of erotic art, and feel embarrassed to see this sitting in a business, but in Thailand it's simply a portable charm that helps bring in sales.
