Diner Alert: Nine Thai foods you should avoid in summer

.

The Department of Disease Control has issued a list of nine Thai dishes that could potentially cause diarrhea during the summer.

.

According to the Department, the number of diarrhea patients between Jan. 1 to Mar. 10 totaled 191,515. One patient reportedly died from complications resulting from the condition. The Department warned restaurants across Thailand to pay more attention to hygiene in the kitchen and warned diners to wash their hands before each meal.

.

Below is the list of Thai foods that easily go bad in the hot weather, subsequently posing a risk to the health of diners.

.

1. Larb/Koi or spicy Isaan meat salad: This dish is a combination of ground meat seasoned with fish sauce, limejuice, chili and herbs. Both dishes are similar except that Koi uses raw meat.

.

2. Yum Goong Dten or “spicy shrimp salad”: This dish’s Thai name literally means “Dancing Shrimp Salad,” suggesting that live shrimp are main ingredient to the dish.

 .

3. Yum Hoy Krang or “spicy cockle salad”: Diners need to make sure that cockles are given a good rinse before eating them.

 .

4. Fried rice topped with crabmeat

 .

5. All coconut milk recipes: Phanaeng curry, Massaman curry, chicken green curry, coconut custard, Bualoy, Saku Biak, you name it.

 .

6. Kanom Jeen or “fermented Thai rice noodle”: Since Kanom Jeen is made from rice that has been fermented for three days, it can rot quickly.

 .

7. Khao Man Gai or “chicken rice”

8. Som Tam or “spicy green papaya salad”

.

9. Green salad

The Department also warns diners of ice and suggests them not to eat food that has been left out overnight.

Coffee Cup Size - Bangkok

lets you pick your cup from menu on models’ breasts

 A new coffee shop has become a hot topic of discussion online after photos of a male customer picking his coffee from a menu on a model’s chest circulated online.

But can you actually touch the pretties? Nope, you can only point (and obviously take a photo of yourself pointing at them and Instagram it).

“No, customers aren’t allowed to feel the models. They can only point [at the menu],”

The shop owner said the models will stand by for a few days, but if his business can still afford having models in the cafe, he’d like to continue hiring them to entertain customers.

The baristas and waiters also wear T-shirts with the menu printed on them. But he said that the oh-so-tight tank tops are just for the pretties.

While some people say the women in tank tops are sexist, the shop owner said that a pretty in a tank top is nothing compared to what goes on at the Motor Show.

"It's their opinion. I'm happy that people are paying attention to the cafe. It just means my marketing plan is successful."

Surprisingly, he said most of his customers are normal office people and university students who need their morning coffee.
