We are gifted to have such a variety of cheap street food right outside of our hostel. We have fruit, rotti, fried chicken, grilled meat, Pad Thai, and others depending on the day; each cart is actually the sidecar to a scooter, so they can come and go as they please. For the most part it is all cheap, 20TMB ($0.65) per stick or piece and 30THB ($0.97) for a rotti, and delicious. We then run into the 7/11 that is next door and grab a 640ml cold beer for 42THB ($1.36). We watch them make the food in front of us, so I don't think we can get too sick from it.
The stick food is marinated in a savory sauce and comes with a cherry tomato and pepper on the end.
The fried chicken is maybe a little overcooked and dried out, but the alternative could be dangerous. The skin is crispy and seasoned with a spiciness that tastes great.
The rotti is either plain, as Renee likes it, or a dessert, like the banana, condensed milk, and powdered sugar one I got.
We did find a Swedish run place that had great pizza for 200THB ($6.49). While, it wasn't truly street food, it had the carts in front of it and it had draft beers for 49THB ($1.59). Great food and the owner was willing to shoot the breeze with us.
