I
took
their
evening
Chinatown
tour,
as
I
had
already
been
sampling
Thai
food
for
almost
a
month
in
the
South
and
BKK.
Before
this
tour,
I
had
not
been
truly
exposed
to
any
Chinese
food
outside
really
bad,
greasy
American-style.
So
what
a
treat
it
was!
That
being
said,
I
wouldn't
recommend
this
particular
tour
to
someone
who
has
been
to
many
other
Chinatowns
around
the
world
or
expats
living
in
Asia.
Back
to
the
tour:
stops
were
a
good
mix
of
street
vendors
and
established,
yet
local
restaurants.
Portions
were
massive,
most
"samples"
at
each
spot
being
meals
in
themselves
-
I
could
barely
walk
by
the
end
of
it!
A
good
mix
of
savory
and
sweet,
even
traditional
drinks.
Our
guides
Benz
&
Joker
were
informative
enough
and
responsive
to
questions,
but
also
gave
us
some
time
to
be
independent
and
have
our
own
conversations
with
other
travelers
in
the
group.
I
actually
liked
this.
As
another
poster
said,
there
was
more
historical
information
given
than
about
the
particular
ingredients
or
background
of
each
dish.
However,
if
you
asked
questions,
they
were
always
answered.
So
if
you
want
to
know
more
about
the
ingredients
of
a
particular
food,
I
would
say
you
should
just
ask.
All
in
all,
a
very
good
experience
for
a
Chinese
food
newbie
like
me.
My
only
recommendations
would
be
to
add
a
few
more
stops
-
even
if
that
means
less
food
at
some
of
the
current
stops
-
in
addition
to
talking
more
about
the
cultural
background
and
history
of
the
dishes,
including
ingredients.
That
way,
travelers
can
get
a
better
sense
of
the
history
and
different
dishes
of
Chinese
cuisine
available
in
Thailand.
