Saturday night in Chiang Rai on the Walking street - more street food!

Shredded Pumpkin, coconut and marshmallow fluff spread over crispy cookie batter on a hot grill.  The man is getting ready to lift them off and very quickly shape them before they harden

Here is the finished cookie, sold by the bagful for 20bht, less than a dollar

This is a pot of hot oil filled with hot dogs and fish dogs.  They stay in there frying in oil until someone wants a bagful then they dip in their scoop, toss them around to get the really hot ones from the bottom.

I hope you can tell these are fish shaped cakes.  I was too "chicken" to try one but my guess is they taste like fish.  Aren't they cute?

Lots and lots of little tiny pork balls.  Whatever they are.

This is a delicacy of sticky rice cooked inside of bamboo.  the rice is raw when it is put into the tube and steamed over hot coals.  you see children walking around peeling their tubes of sticky rice, some with red beans, some with coconut.  It looks like a lot of work!
